This is part of the "UTXO Set Statistics" project in Core, which aims
to make things like "checking coin supply" faster. This stuff, and
related things in coinstats.cpp, have always been broken for Elements
in the sense that we consider only explicit outputs and we ignore
assets (so everything just gets added together to get a meaningless
total). It probably wouldn't be too hard to restrict this to only
consider policyAsset, but it's out of scope for a rebase IMO.
Also, I think this situation is fine .. I don't understand the motivation
for this or why Core is merging this when they refuse to merge an address
index .. but I guess we'll see if there are users who care about this data
and who care about it being meaningful on Elements.
Also, apologies for the big diff -- there were some mechanical changes
to deal with CT amounts, but most of the changes related to the difference
in how fees are accounted for. While I'm not thrilled with this PR, its
functional test is really good! So I think what I eventually came up with
is internally consistent.
Looks like James hardcoded a couple hashes in hard-to-find places, which
caused a unit test to fail. I just changed the hash (which covers UTXO
data which naturally will be different for us on account of our differently
formatted CTxOuts).
TODO: determine how Assumeutxo interacts with the fact that we don't save
out nonces in our normal UTXO serialization. Probably we will need to remove
the nonce from the CCoinStats serialization to avoid having inconsistent
hashes across nodes, since these hashes are now checked in assumeutxo?

Pull request description:
This is part of the coinstats index project tracked in #18000
While the review of the new UTXO set hash algorithm (MuHash) takes longer recently #19328 was merged which added the possibility to run `gettxoutsetinfo` with a specific hash type. As the first type it added `hash_type=none` which skips the hashing of the UTXO set altogether. This alone did not make `gettxoutsetinfo` much faster but it allows the use of an index for the remaining coin statistics even before a new hashing algorithm has been added. Credit to Sjors for the idea to take this intermediate step.
Features summary:
- Users can start their node with the option `-coinstatsindex` which syncs the index in the background
- After the index is synced the user can use `gettxoutsetinfo` with `hash_type=none` or `hash_type=muhash` and will get the response instantly out of the index
- The user can specify a height or block hash when calling `gettxoutsetinfo` to see coin statistics at a specific block height

Pull request description:
This picks up the closed pull request #21030 and is the first step toward fixing #21220.
The basic idea is to move all disk access into a separate module with benefits:
* Breaking down the massive files init.cpp and validation.cpp into logical units
* Creating a standalone-module to reduce the mental complexity
* Pave the way to fix validation related circular dependencies
* Pave the way to mock disk access for testing, especially where it is performance critical (like fuzzing)

Code review ACK fadcd3f78e, checked (almost) moved only changes. This is a nice tidy up change and doesn't change behavior. Easily reviewed commit by commit.

Code review ACK fadcd3f78e. New organization makes sense, moves extraneous things outside of validation.cpp. PR is also easy to review with helpfully split up moveonly commits.

The doc nicely explains why the directory exists and it is
irrelevant when it was introduced. Even if it was relevant,
it could be trivially found out via `git log ./src/node/ | tail`

95cccf8a4b util: introduce helper AnyPtr to access std::any instances (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
As described in `util/ref.h`: "_This implements a small subset of the functionality in C++17's std::any class, and **can be dropped when the project updates to C++17**_". For accessing the contained object of a `std::any` instance, a helper template function `AnyPtr` is introduced (thanks to ryanofsky).

Code review ACK 916ab0195d. Changes since last review: rebase and replacing types with `auto`. I might have used `const auto*` and `auto*` instead of plain `auto` because I think the qualifiers are useful, but this is all good.
