3e44bee08e test: add coverage for `/rest/deploymentinfo` (brunoerg)
91497031cb rest: add `/deploymentinfo` (brunoerg)
Pull request description:
#23508 added a new RPC named `getdeploymentinfo`, it moved the softfork section from `getblockchaininfo` into this new one. In the REST interface, we have an endpoint named`/rest/chaininfo.json` (which refers to `getblockchaininfo`), so, this PR adds a new REST endpoint named `/deploymentinfo` which refers to `getdeploymentinfo`.
You can use it by passing a block hash, e.g: '/rest/deploymentinfo/<BLOCKHASH>.json' or you can use it without passing a block hash to get the 'deploymentinfo' for the last block.

Calling ActiveHeight() and ActiveTip() subsequently without holding the
::cs_main lock over both calls may result in a height that does not
correspond to the tip due to a race.
Fix this by holding the lock.
a62e84438d fuzz: add `SplitString` fuzz target (MarcoFalke)
4fad7e46d9 test: add unit tests for `SplitString` helper (Kiminuo)
9cc8e876e4 refactor: introduce single-separator split helper `SplitString` (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
This PR adds a simple string split helper `SplitString` that takes use of the spanparsing `Split` function that was first introduced in #13697 (commit fe8a7dcd78). This enables to replace most calls to `boost::split`, in the cases where only a single separator character is used. Note that while previous attempts to replace `boost::split` were controversial (e.g. #13751), this one has a trivial implementation: it merely uses an internal helper (that is unit tested and in regular use with output descriptiors) and converts its result from spans to strings. As a drawback though, not all `boost::split` instances can be tackled.
As a possible optimization, one could return a vector of `std::string_view`s (available since C++17) instead of strings, to avoid copies. This would need more carefulness on the caller sites though, to avoid potential lifetime issues, and it's probably not worth it, considering that none of the places where strings are split are really performance-critical.

Code review ACK a62e84438d. Ran all tests. I also like that with `boost::split` it was not obvious that the resulting container was cleared, and with `SplitString` API that's obvious.

This helper uses spanparsing::Split internally and enables to replace
all calls to boost::split where only a single separator is passed.

Pull request description:
In RESTful APIs, [typically](https://rapidapi.com/blog/api-glossary/parameters/query/) path parameters (e.g. `/some/unique/resource/`) are used to represent resources, and query parameters (e.g. `?sort=asc`) are used to control how these resources are being loaded through e.g. sorting, pagination, filtering, ...
As first [discussed in #17631](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17631#discussion_r733031180), the [current REST api](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/REST-interface.md) contains two endpoints `/headers/` and `/blockfilterheaders/` that rather unexpectedly use path parameters to control how many (filter) headers are returned in the response. While this is no critical issue, it is unintuitive and we are still early enough to easily phase this behaviour out and ensure new endpoints (if any) do not have to stick to non-standard behaviour just for internal consistency.
In this PR, a new `HTTPRequest::GetQueryParameter` method is introduced to easily parse query parameters, as well as two new `/headers/` and `/blockfilterheaders/` endpoints that use a count query parameter are introduced. The old path parameter-based endpoints are kept without too much overhead, but the documentation now points to the new query parameter-based endpoints as the default interface to encourage standardness.
## Behaviour change
### New endpoints and default values
`/headers/` and `/blockfilterheaders/` now have 2 new endpoints that contain query parameters (`?count=<count>`) instead of path parameters (`/<count>/`), as described in REST-interface.md. Since query parameters can easily have default values, I have set this at 5 for both endpoints.
**headers**
`GET /rest/headers/<BLOCK-HASH>.<bin|hex|json>?count=<COUNT=5>`
should now be used instead of
`GET /rest/headers/<COUNT>/<BLOCK-HASH>.<bin|hex|json>`
**blockfilterheaders**
`GET /rest/blockfilterheaders/<FILTERTYPE>/<BLOCK-HASH>.<bin|hex|json>?count=<COUNT=5>`
should now be used instead of
`GET /rest/blockfilterheaders/<FILTERTYPE>/<COUNT>/<BLOCK-HASH>.<bin|hex|json>`
### Some previously invalid API calls are now valid
API calls that contained query strings in the URI could not be parsed prior to this PR. This PR changes behaviour in that previously invalid calls (e.g. `GET /rest/headers/5/somehash.json?someunusedparam=foo`) would now become valid, as the query parameters are properly parsed, and discarded if unused.
For example, prior to this PR, adding an irrelevant `someparam` parameter would be illegal:
```
GET /rest/headers/5/0000004c6aad0c89c1c060e8e116dcd849e0554935cd78ff9c6a398abeac6eda.json?someparam=true
->
Invalid hash: 0000004c6aad0c89c1c060e8e116dcd849e0554935cd78ff9c6a398abeac6eda.json?someparam=true
```
**This behaviour change affects all rest endpoints, not just the 2 new ones introduced here.**
*(Note: I'd be open to implementing additional logic to refuse requests containing unrecognized query parameters to minimize behaviour change, but for the endpoints that we currently have I don't really see the point for that added complexity. E.g. I don't see any scenarios where misspelling a parameter could lead to harmful outcomes)*
## Using the REST API
To run the API HTTP server, start a bitcoind instance with the `-rest` flag enabled. To use the
`blockfilterheaders` endpoint, you'll also need to set `-blockfilterindex=1`:
```
./bitcoind -signet -rest -blockfilterindex=1
```
As soon as bitcoind is fully up and running, you should be able to query the API, for example by
using curl on the command line: ```curl "127.0.0.1:38332/rest/chaininfo.json"```.
To more easily parse the JSON output, you can also use tools like 'jq' or `json_pp`, e.g.:
```
curl -s "localhost:38332/rest/blockfilterheaders/basic/0000004c6aad0c89c1c060e8e116dcd849e0554935cd78ff9c6a398abeac6eda.json?count=2" | json_pp .
```

In most RESTful APIs, path parameters are used to represent resources, and
query parameters are used to control how these resources are being filtered/sorted/...
The old /<count>/ functionality is kept alive to maintain backwards compatibility,
but new paths with query parameters are introduced and documented as the default
interface so future API methods don't break consistency by using query parameters.

The only important commit is "Only load BlockMan in BlockMan member functions", everything else is all just small style changes.
Here's the commit message, reproduced:
```
This commit effectively splits the "load block index itself" logic from
"derive Chainstate variables from loaded block index" logic.
This means that BlockManager::LoadBlockIndex{,DB} will only load what's
relevant to the BlockManager.

URLs may contain a query string (prefixed with '?') and this should be ignored when parsing
the data format.
To facilitate testing this functionality, ParseDataFormat has been made non-static.
As RetFormat is now exposed in a header, it is renamed to the more
understandable RESTResponseFormat
