- Settings updates were not thread-safe, as they were executed in
three separate steps:
1) Obtain settings value while acquiring the settings lock.
2) Modify settings value.
3) Overwrite settings value while acquiring the settings lock.
This approach allowed concurrent threads to modify the same base value
simultaneously, leading to data loss. When this occurred, the final
settings state would only reflect the changes from the last thread
that completed the operation, overwriting updates from other threads.
Fix this by making the settings update operation atomic.
- Add test coverage for this behavior.

fa46cc22bc Remove deprecated -rpcserialversion (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
The flag is problematic for many reasons:
* It is deprecated
* It is a global flag, requiring a restart to change, as opposed to a flag that can be set on each RPC invocation
* It may be hidden in config files by accident, hard to debug, causing LND crashes and bugs, see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/28730#issuecomment-1780940868
* It makes performance improvements harder to implement: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17529#issuecomment-556082818
Fix all issues by removing it.
If there is a use-case, likely a per-RPC flag can be added, if needed.

Update CheckPackageLimits to use util::Result to pass the error message
instead of out parameter.
Also update test to reflect the error message from `CTxMempool`
`CheckPackageLimits` output.
The background of this commit is an ongoing effort to decouple the
libbitcoinkernel library from code that is not strictly required by it.
The settings code belongs into the common library and namespace, since
the kernel library should not depend on it. See doc/design/libraries.md
for more information on this rationale.
Changing the namespace of the moved functions is scripted in the
following commit.
To avoid wasting processing power, we can skip blocks that occurred
before the wallet's creation time, since these blocks are guaranteed
not to contain any relevant wallet data.
This has direct implications (an speed improvement) on the underlying
blockchain synchronization process as well.
The reason is that the validation interface queue is limited to
10 tasks per time. This means that no more than 10 blocks can be
waiting for the wallet(s) to be processed while we are synchronizing
the chain (activating the best chain to be more precise).
Which can be a bottleneck if blocks arrive and are processed faster
from the network than what they are processed by the wallet(s).

Pull request description:
This PR removes `mempool_sequence` from `transactionRemovedFromMempool` and `transactionAddedToMempool`.
`mempool_sequence` is not used in these methods, only in ZMQ notifications.

This is useful for speeding up wallet rescans and is based on an
earlier version from PR #15845 ("wallet: Fast rescan with BIP157 block
filters"), which was never merged.

817326a828 wallet: avoid rescans if under the snapshot (James O'Beirne)
Pull request description:
This is part of the [assumeutxo project](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/11) (parent PR: #15606)
---
Refuse to load a wallet if it requires a rescan lower than the height of assumed-valid blocks.
Of course in live code right now, `BLOCK_ASSUMED_VALID` block index entries don't exist since they're a unique flag introduced by the use of UTXO snapshots, so this is prophylactic code exercised only by unittests.

Code review ACK 817326a828. This seems like the simplest change we can make to avoid wallet problems when an assumeutxo snapshot is loaded.

Replace CommitInternal method with CustomCommit and use interfaces::Chain
instead of CChainState to generate block locator.
This commit does not change behavior in any way, except in the
(m_best_block_index == nullptr) case, which was added recently in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/24117 as part of an ongoing attempt to
prevent index corruption if bitcoind is interrupted during startup. New
behavior in that case should be slightly better than the old behavior (skipping
the entire custom+base commit now vs only skipping the base commit previously)
and this might avoid more cases of corruption.
Add new interfaces::BlockInfo struct to be able to pass extra block
information (file and undo information) to indexes which they are
updated to use high level interfaces::Chain notifications.
This commit does not change behavior in any way.
Currently, the wallet scan progress is not saved.
If it is interrupted, it will be necessary to start from
scratch on the next load.
With this change, progress is saved every 60 seconds.

Refuse to load a wallet if it requires a rescan lower than the height of
an unvalidated snapshot we're running -- in more general terms, if we
don't have data for the blocks.
