Pull request description:
Makes it friendlier for potential future users of the kernel library if they do not store the headers in a std::vector, but can guarantee contiguous memory.
Take this opportunity to also change the argument of ImportBlocks previously taking a `std::vector` to a `std::span`.

Makes it friendlier for potential future users of the kernel library if
they do not store the headers in a std::vector, but can guarantee
contiguous memory.
Integer promotion will already turn the `signed` into `unsigned` in
those lines. However, make the `unsigned` explicit so that the code is
clearer and a compiler warning is avoided when switching to m_rng:
| test/validation_block_tests.cpp: warning: comparison of integers of different signs: 'int' and 'const unsigned int' [-Wsign-compare]
| 136 | bool gen_invalid = m_rng.randrange(100) < invalid_rate;
| | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~
| 137 | bool gen_fork = m_rng.randrange(100) < branch_rate;

This makes the options argument for BlockAssembler constructor mandatory,
dropping implicit use of ArgsManager. The caller i.e. the Mining
interface implementation now handles this.
In a future Stratum v2 change the Options object needs to be
mofified after arguments have been processed. Specifically
the pool communicates how many extra bytes it needs for
its own outputs (payouts, extra commitments, etc). This will need
to be substracted from what the user set as -blockmaxweight.
Such a change can be implemented in createNewBlock, after
ApplyArgsManOptions.
In order to prevent memory DoS, we must ensure that we don't accept a new
header into memory until we've performed anti-DoS checks, such as verifying
that the header is part of a sufficiently high work chain. This commit adds a
new argument to AcceptBlockHeader() so that we can ensure that all call-sites
which might cause a new header to be accepted into memory have to grapple with
the question of whether the header is safe to accept, or needs further
validation.
This patch also fixes two places where low-difficulty-headers could have been
processed without such validation (processing an unrequested block from the
network, and processing a compact block).

This is a refactor, putting the burden to think about thread safety to
the caller. Otherwise, there is a risk that the caller will assume
thread safety where none exists, as is evident in the previous two
commits.
...also adjust callers
Changes:
- In BlockAssembler::CreateNewBlock, we now only lock m_mempool->cs and
call addPackageTxs if m_mempool is not nullptr
- BlockAssembler::addPackageTxs now takes in a mempool reference, and is
annotated to require that mempool's lock.
- In TestChain100Setup::CreateBlock and generateblock, don't construct
an empty mempool, just pass in a nullptr for mempool

fa53e3a58c scripted-diff: Move miner to src/node (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
It is impossible to run the miner without a node (validation, chainstate, mempool, rpc, ...). Also, the module is in the node library. Thus, it should be moved to `src/node`.
Also, replace the `validation.h` include in the header with a forward-declaration.
