After initially being merged in #20487, it's no-longer clear that an
internal syscall sandboxing mechanism is something that Bitcoin Core
should have/maintain, especially when compared to better
maintained/supported alterantives, i.e firejail.
Note that given where it's used, the sandbox also gets dragged into the
kernel.
There is some related discussion in #24771.
This should not require any sort of deprecation, as this was only ever
an opt-in, experimental feature.
Closes#24771.

Pull request description:
It seems odd to return `EXIT_SUCCESS` when the node aborted execution due a fatal internal error
or any post-init problem that triggers an unrequested shutdown.
e.g. blocks or coins db I/O errors, disconnect block failure, failure during thread import (external
blocks loading process error), among others.

This is a commit in preparation for the next few commits. The functions
are moved to methods to avoid their re-declaration for the purpose of
passing in BlockManager options.
The functions that were now moved into the BlockManager should no longer
use the params as an argument, but instead use the member variable.
In the moved ReadBlockFromDisk and UndoReadFromDisk, change
the function signature to accept a reference to a CBlockIndex instead of
a raw pointer. The pointer is expected to be non-null, so reflect that
in the type.
To allow for the move of functions to BlockManager methods all call
sites require an instantiated BlockManager, or a callback to one.
This commit effectively moves the definition of these constants
out of the chainparamsbase to their own file.
Using the ChainType enums provides better type safety compared to
passing around strings.
The commit is part of an ongoing effort to decouple the libbitcoinkernel
library from the ArgsManager and other functionality that should not be
part of the kernel library.
This is an extraction of ArgsManager related functions from util/system
into their own common file.
Config file related functions are moved to common/config.cpp.
The background of this commit is an ongoing effort to decouple the
libbitcoinkernel library from the ArgsManager. The ArgsManager belongs
into the common library, since the kernel library should not depend on
it. See doc/design/libraries.md for more information on this rationale.

This PR removes `mempool_sequence` from `transactionRemovedFromMempool` and `transactionAddedToMempool`.
`mempool_sequence` is not used in these methods, only in ZMQ notifications.

Pull request description:
Upon reviewing the documentation for `CTxMemPool::CalculateMemPoolAncestors`, I noticed `setAncestors` was meant to be an `out` parameter but actually is an `in,out` parameter, as can be observed by adding `assert(setAncestors.empty());` as the first line in the function and running `make check`. This PR fixes this unexpected behaviour and introduces refactoring improvements to make intents and effects of the code more clear.
## Unexpected behaviour
This behaviour occurs only in the package acceptance path, currently only triggered by `testmempoolaccept` and `submitpackage` RPCs.
In `MemPoolAccept::AcceptMultipleTransactions()`, we first call `PreChecks()` and then `SubmitPackage()` with the same `Workspace ws` reference. `PreChecks` leaves `ws.m_ancestors` in a potentially non-empty state, before it is passed on to `MemPoolAccept::SubmitPackage`. `SubmitPackage` is the only place where `setAncestors` isn't guaranteed to be empty before calling `CalculateMemPoolAncestors`. The most straightforward fix is to just forcefully clear `setAncestors` at the beginning of CalculateMemPoolAncestors, which is done in the first bugfix commit.
## Improvements
### Return value instead of out-parameters
This PR updates the function signatures for `CTxMemPool::CalculateMemPoolAncestors` and `CTxMemPool::CalculateAncestorsAndCheckLimits` to use a `util::Result` return type and eliminate both the `setAncestors` `in,out`-parameter as well as the error string. It simplifies the code and makes the intent and effects more explicit.
### Observability
There are 7 instances where we currently call `CalculateMemPoolAncestors` without actually checking if the function succeeded because we assume that it can't fail, such as in [miner.cpp](69b10212ea/src/node/miner.cpp (L399)). This PR adds a new wrapper `AssumeCalculateMemPoolAncestors` function that logs such unexpected failures, or in case of debug builds even halts the program. It's not crucial to the objective, more of an observability improvement that seems sensible to add on here.

b19c4124b3 refactor: Rename ambiguous interfaces::MakeHandler functions (Ryan Ofsky)
dd6e8bd71c build: remove BOOST_CPPFLAGS from libbitcoin_util (fanquake)
82e272a109 refactor: Move src/interfaces/*.cpp files to libbitcoin_common.a (Ryan Ofsky)
Pull request description:
These belong in `libbitcoin_common.a`, not `libbitcoin_util.a`, because they aren't general-purpose utilities, they just contain some common glue code that is used by both the node and the wallet. Another reason not to include these in `libbitcoin_util.a` is to prevent them from being used by the kernel library.
Also rename ambiguous `MakeHandler` functions to `MakeCleanupHandler` and `MakeSignalHandler`. Cleanup function handler was introduced after boost signals handler, so original naming didn't make much sense.
This just contains a move-only commit, and a rename commit. There are no actual code or behavior changes.
This PR is an alternative to #26293, and solves the same issue of removing a boost dependency from the _util_ library. The advantages of this PR compared to #26293 are that it keeps the source directory structure more flat, and it avoids having to change #includes all over the codebase.

filters"), which was never merged.

Simplifies function signatures by removing repetition of all the
ancestor/descendant limits, and increases readability by being
more verbose by naming the limits, while still reducing the LoC.
This makes a number of changes:
- Get rid of the verification_progress argument in the node interface
NotifyHeaderTip (it was always 0.0).
- Instead of passing a CBlockIndex* in the UI interface's NotifyHeaderTip,
send separate height, timestamp fields. This is becuase in headers presync,
no actual CBlockIndex object is available.
- Add a bool presync argument to both of the above, to identify signals
pertaining to the first headers sync phase.
This introduces an insignificant performance penalty, as it means locator
construction needs to use the skiplist-based CBlockIndex::GetAncestor()
function instead of the lookup-based CChain, but avoids the need for
callers to have access to a relevant CChain object.
