Notes:
- bitcoin/bitcoin#23083 increassed how stict the RPC documentation type checks are
- I initially tried fixing all the types -- you can see that work in this commit.
- In the end, I decided there were way too many discrepencies and that it would take
way too long to fix them all. So I just disabled the type check for elements (also in this commit).
Modifies the getnewblockhex json rpc call to accept an array of
commitments instead of a single commitment.
Backwards compatibility is maintained by first attempting to parse as a
string for a singular commitment.
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 required for removing the UniValue copy constructor.

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
This decouples validation.cpp from netaddress.cpp (transitively,
timedata.cpp, and asmap.cpp).
This is important for libbitcoinkernel as:
- There is no reason for the consensus engine to be coupled with
netaddress, timedata, and asmap
- Users of libbitcoinkernel can now easily supply their own
std::function that provides the adjusted time.
See the src/Makefile.am changes for some satisfying removals.

Pull request description:
It seems confusing to pass chain params, consensus params, or a time function around when it is not needed.
Fix this by:
* Inlining the passed time getter function. I don't see a use case why this should be mockable.
* Using `chainman.GetConsensus()` or `chainman.GetParams()`, where possible.

fa9af21878 scripted-diff: Use getInt<T> over get_int/get_int64 (MacroFake)
Pull request description:
Seems better to see the return type directly and be able to modify it easier, as the return type is used for exceptions (in-range checking and parsing feedback).
