Pull request description:
The RPC command `scanblocks` provides a useful way to get a set of blockhashes that have activity relevant to a set of descriptors (`relevant_blocks`). However actually extracting the activity from those blocks is left as an exercise to the end user.
This process involves not only generating the (potentially ranged) set of scripts for the descriptor set on the client side (maybe via `deriveaddresses`), but then the user must retrieve each block's contents one-by-one using `getblock <hash>`, which is transmitted over a network link. And that's all before they perform the actual search over block content. There's even more work required to incorporate unconfirmed transactions.
This PR introduces an RPC `getdescriptoractivity` that [dovetails](https://bitcoin-irc.chaincode.com/bitcoin-core-dev/2024-08-16#1046393;) with `scanblocks` output, handling the process described above. Users specify the blockhashes (perhaps from `relevant_blocks`) and a set of descriptors; they are then given all spend/receive activity in that set of blocks.
This is a very useful tool when implementing lightweight wallets that want neither to require a third-party indexer like electrs, nor the overhead of creating and managing watch-only wallets in Core. This allows Core to be more easily used in a "stateless" manner by wallets, with potentially many nodes interchangeably acting as backends.

The `clang-tidy` check can be run via:

which revealed 3 tests and 1 prod warning (+ fuzz and benching, found by hebasto).
Even though the tests aren't performance critical, getting rid of these warnings (for which the checks were already enabled via https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/.clang-tidy#L18, see below), the fix was quite simple.

c288c790cd interpreter: Use the same type for SignatureHash in the definition (TheCharlatan)
Pull request description:
This was missed during the original PR switching the nHashType argument to int32_t in SignatureHash in bc52cda1f3.

With this patch it is possible to link against the static consensus library and produce a fully static executable.

9aa50152c1 Add destroy to BlockTemplate schema (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
This ensures that if a client no longer needs a block template, the node can clear its memory as soon as possible.
A block template may hold on to transactions that are no longer in the mempool, so this can be significant.
This has a trivial silent merge conflict with #31283 because it also used the number `@9` (gaps are not allowed). I'll rebase whichever is merged last.

Pull request description:
part of cluster mempool: #30289
It became clear while working on cluster mempool that it would be helpful for transaction validation if we could consider a full set of proposed changes to the mempool -- consisting of a set of transactions to add, and a set of transactions (ie conflicts) to simultaneously remove -- and perform calculations on what the mempool would look like if the proposed changes were to be applied. Two specific examples of where we'd like to do this:
- Determining if ancestor/descendant/TRUC limits would be violated (in the future, cluster limits) if either a single transaction or a package of transactions were to be accepted
- Determining if an RBF would make the mempool "better", however that idea is defined, both in the single transaction and package of transaction cases
In preparation for cluster mempool, I have pulled this reworking of the mempool interface out of #28676 so it can be reviewed on its own. I have not re-implemented ancestor/descendant limits to be run through the changeset, since with cluster mempool those limits will be going away, so this seems like wasted effort. However, I have rebased #28676 on top of this branch so reviewers can see what the new mempool interface could look like in the cluster mempool setting.
There are some minor behavior changes here, which I believe are inconsequential:
- In the package validation setting, transactions would be added to the mempool before the `ConsensusScriptChecks()` are run. In theory, `ConsensusScriptChecks()` should always pass if the `PolicyScriptChecks()` have passed and it's just a belt-and-suspenders for us, but if somehow they were to diverge then there could be some small behavior change from adding transactions and then removing them, versus never adding them at all.
- The error reporting on `CheckConflictTopology()` has slightly changed due to no longer distinguishing between direct conflicts and indirect conflicts. I believe this should be entirely inconsequential because there shouldn't be a logical difference between those two ideas from the perspective of this function, but I did have to update some error strings in some tests.
- Because, in a package setting, RBFs now happen as part of the entire package being accepted, the logging has changed slightly because we do not know which transaction specifically evicted a given removed transaction.
- Specifically, the "package hash" is now used to reference the set of transactions that are being accepted, rather than any single txid. The log message relating to package RBF that happen in the `TXPACKAGES` category has been updated as well to include the package hash, so that it's possible to see which specific set of transactions are being referenced by that package hash.
- Relatedly, the tracepoint logging in the package rbf case has been updated as well to reference the package hash, rather than a transaction hash.

a6ca8f3243 fuzz: Fix difficulty target generation in p2p_headers_presync (marcofleon)
fa327c77e3 util: Add ConsumeArithUInt256InRange fuzzing helper (marcofleon)
Pull request description:
In the `p2p_headers_presync` fuzz target, this assertion failed:
```
assert(total_work < chainman.MinimumChainWork());
```
Input that triggered the failure: [p2ppresync_crash.txt](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/17620203/p2ppresync_crash.txt)
The test previously used `ConsumeIntegralInRange` to generate header difficulty targets within a hardcoded range. The fuzzer found specific values in that range that correspond to very low thresholds due to how [`SetCompact`][setcompact-link] works. The total work of a long enough test chain ended up exceeding `MinimumChainWork`.
Fix this by adding a new `ConsumeArithUInt256InRange` helper function and use it in the fuzz test to generate target values within the originally intended range. The target is then converted to an `nBits` value using `GetCompact()`.
For some more context, see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30918.

This ensures that if a client no longer needs a block template,
the node can clear its memory as soon as possible.
A block template may hold on to transactions that are no longer
in the mempool, so this can be significant.
fa1177e3d7 refactor: Avoid std::string format strings (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
This changes some unchecked `std::string` format strings to use string literals, which are `consteval` checked at compile-time.
Split out, because it is used in several pull requests.

Pull request description:
`m_best_header` (the most-work header not known to be on an invalid chain) can be wrong in the context of invalidation / reconsideration of blocks. This can happen naturally (a valid header is received and stored in our block tree db; when the full block arrives, it is found to be invalid) or triggered by the user with the `invalidateblock` / `reconsiderblock` rpc.
We don't currently use `m_best_header` for any critical things (see OP of #16974 for a list that still seems up-to-date), so it being wrong affects mostly rpcs.
This PR proposes to recalculate it if necessary by looping over the block index and finding the best header. It also suggest to mark headers between an invalidatetd block and the previous `m_best_header` as invalid, so they won't be considered in the recalculation.
It adds tests to `rpc_invalidateblock.py` and `rpc_getchaintips.py` that fail on master.
One alternative to this suggested in the past would be to introduce a continuous tracking of header tips (#12138).
While this might be more performant, it is also more complicated, and situations where we need this data are only be remotely triggerable by paying the cost of creating a valid PoW header for an invalid block.
Therefore I think it isn't necessary to optimise for performance here, plus the solution in this PR doesn't perform any extra steps in the normal node operation where no invalidated blocks are encountered.
Fixes #26245
