In previous commits in this patchset, we've made sure that every
Unload/UnloadBlockIndex member function resets its own members, and does
not reach out to globals.
This means that their corresponding classes' default destructors can now
replace them, and do an even more thorough job without the need to be
updated for every new member variable.
Therefore, we can remove them, and also remove UnloadBlockIndex since
that's not used anymore.
Unfortunately, chainstatemanager_loadblockindex relies on
CChainState::UnloadBlockIndex, so that needs to stay for now.
fa1970f075 Make BlockManager::LoadBlockIndex private (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
* After commit fa27f03b49 `BlockManager::LoadBlockIndex` is only called by `BlockManager::LoadBlockIndexDB`. Thus, it can be made `private`.
* After commit c600ee3816 `m_best_invalid` is no longer accessed by `BlockManager::LoadBlockIndex`. Thus, the unused `friend` can be removed.

This change also introduces an aditional buffer of 10 blocks (PRUNE_LOCK_BUFFER) that will not be pruned before the best block.

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.
I strongly recommend reviewing with the following git-diff flags:
--color-moved=dimmed_zebra --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change
Instead of having CBlockIndex's live on the heap, which requires manual
memory management, have them be owned by m_block_index. This means that
they will live and die with BlockManager.
A change to BlockManager::LookupBlockIndex:
- Previously, it was a const member function returning a non-const CBlockIndex*
- Now, there's are const and non-const versions of
BlockManager::LookupBlockIndex returning a CBlockIndex with the same
const-ness as the member function:
(e.g. const CBlockIndex* LookupBlockIndex(...) const)
See next commit for some weirdness that this eliminates.
The range based for-loops are modernize (using auto + destructuring) in
a future commit.
Mutex cs_main is already held by the caller of WriteUndoDataForBlock().
This change is needed to require CBlockIndex::GetUndoPos() to hold
cs_main and CBlockIndex::nStatus to be guarded by cs_main in the
following commits without adding 2 unnecessary cs_main locks to
WriteUndoDataForBlock().
