In my benchmarks, using this pool allocator for CCoinsMap gives about
20% faster `-reindex-chainstate` with -dbcache=5000 with practically the
same memory usage. The change in max RSS changed was 0.3%.
The `validation_flush_tests` tests need to be updated because
memory allocation is now done in large pools instead of one node at a
time, so the limits need to be updated accordingly.
This frees up all associated memory with the map, not only the nodes.
This is necessary in preparation for using the PoolAllocator for
CCoinsMap, which does not actually free any memory on clear().
In certain circumstances, we may want to flush to disk without
emptying `cacheCoins`, which affects performance. UTXO snapshot
activation is one such case.
This method is currently unused and this commit does not
change any behavior.
Incorporates feedback from John Newbery.

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?

210b693db6 Add generic SaltedSipHasher (Andrew Chow)
95e61c1cf2 Move Hashers to util/hasher.{cpp/h} (Andrew Chow)
Pull request description:
There are existing `SaltedOutPointHasher` and `SaltedTxidHasher` classes used for `std::unordered_map` and `std::unordered_set` that could be useful in other places in the codebase. So we these to their own `saltedhash.{cpp/h}` file. An existing `KeyIDHasher` is moved there too. Additionally, `ScriptIDHasher`, `SaltedPubkeyHasher`, and `SaltedScriptHasher` are added so that they can be used in future work.
`KeyIDHasher` and `ScriptIDHasher` are not salted so that equality comparisons of maps and sets keyed by `CKeyID` and `CScriptID` will actually work.
Split from #19602 (and a few other PRs/branches I have).

Move the hashers that we use for hash tables to a common place.
Moved hashers:
- SaltedTxidHasher
- SaltedOutpointHasher
- FilterHeaderHasher
- SignatureCacheHasher
- BlockHasher
Also adds CCoinsViewCache::ReallocateCache() to attempt to free
memory that the cacheCoins's allocator may be hanging onto when
downsizing the cache.
Adds `CChainState::m_coins{tip,db}_cache_size_bytes` data members
so that we can reference cache size on a per-chainstate basis for
flushing.
and into coins.cpp. This move is necessary so that we can later include a
CCoinsViewErrorCatcher instance under CChainState.
