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?
We can't support a reset of the dbwrapper object when in-memory configuration is used
because it results in the permanent loss of coins. This only affects unittest
configurations (since that's the only place we use in-memory CCoinsViewDB instances).
FIXME: we disable standardness checks for the non-PAK node in the PAK tests.
This is because of a bug in Elements which causes non-PAK nodes to reject
pegouts for standardness reasons. Need to fix it after the rebase.

Pull request description:
This is part of the [assumeutxo project](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/11):
Parent PR: #15606
Issue: #15605
Specification: https://github.com/jamesob/assumeutxo-docs/tree/master/proposal
---
In the assumeutxo implementation draft (#15056), once a UTXO snapshot is loaded, a new chainstate object is created after initialization. This means that we have to reclaim some of the cache that we've allocated to the original chainstate (per `dbcache=`) to repurpose for the snapshot chainstate.
Furthermore, it makes sense to have different cache allocations depending on which chainstate is more active. While the snapshot chainstate is working to get to the network tip (and the background validation chainstate is idle), it makes sense that the snapshot chainstate should have the majority of cache allocation. And contrariwise once the snapshot has reached network tip, most of the cache should be given to the background validation chainstate.
This set of changes (detailed in the commit messages) allows us to dynamically resize the various coins caches. None of the functionality introduced here is used at the moment, but will be in the next AU PR (which introduces `ActivateSnapshot`).
`ChainstateManager::MaybeRebalanceCaches()` defines the (somewhat normative) cache allocations between the snapshot and background validation chainstates. I'd be interested in feedback if anyone has thoughts on the proportions I've set there.

Code review ACK f19fdd47a6. Only change since last review is constructor cleanup (no change in behavior). I think the suggestions here from ajtowns and others are good, but shouldn't delay merging the PR (and hold up assumeutxo)

We'll need this to dynamically update the cache size of the existing
CCoinsViewDB instance when we create a new one during snapshot activation.
This requires us to keep the CDBWrapper instance as a pointer instead of
a reference so that we're able to destruct it and create a new instance
when the cache size changes.
Also renames `db` to `m_db` since we're already modifying each usage.
Includes feedback from Russ Yanofsky.

Pull request description:
The next step of changes from #10785.
This:
* Adds support for enum serialization to `CustomUintFormatter`, used in `CAddress` for service flags.
* Merges `BigEndian` into `CustomUintFormatter`, used in `CNetAddr` for port numbers.
* Converts everything (except wallet and gui) to use the new serialization framework.

Added are:
* Vector(arg1,arg2,arg3,...) constructs a vector with the specified
arguments as elements. The vector's type is derived from the
arguments. If some of the arguments are rvalue references, they
will be moved into place rather than copied (which can't be achieved
using list initialization).
* Cat(vector1,vector2) returns a concatenation of the two vectors,
efficiently moving elements when relevant.
Vector generalizes (and replaces) the Singleton function in
src/descriptor.cpp, and Cat replaces the Cat function in bech32.cpp
This change encapsulates UTXO set data within CChainState instances, removing
global data `pcoinsTip` and `pcoinsviewdb`. This is necessary if we want to
maintain multiple chainstates with their own rendering of the UTXO set.
We introduce a class CoinsViews which consolidates the construction of a
CCoins* hierarchy. Construction of its various pieces (db, coinscatcher,
in-memory cache) is split up so that we avoid flushing bad state to disk if
startup is interrupted.
We also introduce `CChainState::CanFlushToDisk()` which tells us when it is
safe to flush the chainstate based on this partial construction.
This commit could be broken into smaller pieces, but it would require more
ephemeral diffs to, e.g., temporarily change CCoinsViewDB's constructor
invocations.
Other changes:
- A parameter has been added to the CCoinsViewDB constructor that allows the
name of the corresponding leveldb directory to be specified.
Thanks to Russell Yanofsky and Marco Falke for helpful feedback.

The block height validation is gated by the startup option
`con_blockheightinheader`, accesible in custom chains only
using option `chain=<name>`. Only if set to true will this
field be (de)serialized and evaluated in consensus logic.
Otherwise the field is simply ignored, other than being
stored in memory as the default value 0.
