Original description:
This PR makes explicit the now implicit conversion constructor `CTransaction(const CMutableTransaction&)` in `transaction.h`.
Minimal changes were made elsewhere to make the code compilable. I'll follow up with other PRs to address individually refactoring functions that should have a `CMutableTransaction` version, or where a `CTransaction` should be reused.
The rationale for this change is:
- Conversion constructors should not be explicit unless there's a strong reason for it (in the opinion of, for example, https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html, and https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines#Ro-conversion. Let me know your take on this).
- This particular conversion is very costly -- it implies a serialization plus hash of the transaction.
- Even though `CTransaction` and `CMutableTransaction` represent the same data, they have very different use cases and performance properties.
- Making it explicit allows for easier reasoning of performance trade-offs.
- There has been previous performance issues caused by unneeded use of this implicit conversion.
- This PR creates a map for places to look for possible refactoring and performance gains (this benefit still holds if the PR is not merged).
