This pull request is part of the `libbitcoinkernel` project https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/27587https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/18 and more specifically its "Step 2: Decouple most non-consensus code from libbitcoinkernel".
---
It removes the kernel library's dependency on `util/system` and `interface_ui`. `util/system` contains networking and shell-related code that should not be part of the kernel library. The following pull requests prepared `util/system` for this final step: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27419https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27254https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27238.
`interface_ui` defines functions for a more general node interface and has a dependency on `boost/signals2`. After applying the patches from this pull request, the kernel's reliance on boost is down to `boost::multiindex`.
The approach implemented here introduces some indirection, which makes the code a bit harder to read. Any suggestions for improving or reworking this pull request to make it more concise, or even reworking it into a more proper interface, are appreciated.

A single outbound slot is required, so if the first two slots
are taken by inbound in-flights, the node will reject additional
unless they are coming from outbound.
This means in the case where a fast sybil peer is attempting to
stall out a node, a single high bandwidth outbound peer can
mitigate the attack.
This commit is part of the libbitcoinkernel project and seeks to remove
the ChainstateManager's and, more generally, the kernel library's
dependency on interface_ui with options methods in this and the
following few commits. By removing interface_ui from the kernel library,
its dependency on boost is reduced to just boost::multi_index.
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.
b922f6b526 rpc: scanblocks, add "completed" flag to the result obj (furszy)
ce50acc54f rpc: scanblocks, do not traverse the whole chain block by block (furszy)
Pull request description:
Coming from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/23549#pullrequestreview-1105712566
The current `scanblocks` flow walks-through every block in the active chain
until hits the chain tip or processes 10k blocks, then calls `lookupFilterRange`
function to obtain all filters from that particular range.
This is only done to obtain the heights range to look up the block
filters. Which is unneeded.
As `scanblocks` only lookup block filters in the active chain, we can
directly calculate the lookup range heights, by using the chain tip,
without requiring to traverse the chain block by block.

To tell the user whether the process was aborted or not.
Plus, as the process can be aborted prior to the end range,
have also changed the "to_height" result value to return the
last scanned block instead of the end range block.
The current flow walks-through every block in the active chain until
hits the chain tip or processes 10k blocks, then calls
`lookupFilterRange()` to obtain all the filters from that
particular range.

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.
The fs.* files are already part of the libbitcoin_util library. With the
introduction of the fs_helpers.* it makes sense to move fs.* into the
util/ directory as well.
fe329dc936 test: Add test for getblockfrompeer on pruned nodes (Fabian Jahr)
cd761e6b2c rpc: Add note on guarantees to getblockfrompeer (Fabian Jahr)
Pull request description:
These are additions to `getblockfrompeer` that I already [suggested on the original PR](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/20295#pullrequestreview-817157738).
The two commits do the following:
1. Add a test for `getblockfrompeer` usage on pruned nodes. This is important because many use-cases for `getblockfrompeer` are in a context of a pruned node.
2. Add some information on how long the users of pruned nodes can expect the block to be available after they have used the RPC. I think the behavior is not very intuitive for users and I would not be surprised if users expect the block to be available indefinitely.

The rpc command verifychain now fails if the dbcache was not sufficient
to complete the verification at the specified level and depth.
In the same situation, the VerifyDB check during Init will now fail (and lead to
an early shutdown) if the user has explicitly specified -checkblocks or
-checklevel but the check couldn't be executed because of the limited
cache. If the user didn't change any of the two and is using the defaults, log a warning
but don't prevent the node from starting up.
This does not change behavior. It is in preparation for
special handling of the case where VerifyDB doesn't finish
for various reasons, but doesn't fail.

faf96721a6 test: Fix wrong types passed to RPCs (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
It seems brittle to require `RPCTypeCheck` being called inside the code logic. Without compile-time enforcement this will lead to places where it is forgotten and thus to inconsistencies and bugs. Fix this by removing the calls to `RPCTypeCheck` and doing the check internally.
The changes should be reviewed as refactoring changes. However, if they change behavior, it will be a bugfix. For example the changes here happen to also detect/fix bugs like the one fixed in commit 3b5fb6e77a.

f39d9269eb rpc: warn that nodes ignore requests for old stale blocks (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
Adds warning to RPC help that `getblockfrompeer` is of little use for stale blocks that are more than a month old.
This is an anti-fingerprinting measure. See `BlockRequestAllowed` in `net_processing`.
It's been in Bitcoin Core since 2014, introduced in #2910 and later improved to not rely on checkpoints.
Older and alternative clients might still serve these blocks, so not throwing an error.
Allowing whitelisted nodes to fetch these blocks anyway might be nice.

5826bf546e test: Add test for getblockfrompeer on syncing pruned nodes (Fabian Jahr)
7fa851fba8 rpc: Pruned nodes can not fetch unsynced blocks (Fabian Jahr)
Pull request description:
This PR prevents `getblockfrompeer` from getting used on blocks that the node has not synced past yet if the node is in running in prune mode.
### Problem
While a node is still catching up to the tip that it is aware of via the headers, the user can currently use to fetch blocks close to or at the tip. These blocks are stored in the block/rev file that otherwise contains blocks the node is receiving as part of the syncing process.
This creates a problem for pruned nodes: The files containing a fetched block are not pruned during syncing because they contain a block close to the tip. This means the entire file (~130MB) will not be pruned until the tip has moved on far enough from the fetched block. In extreme cases with heavy pruning (like 550) and multiple blocks being fetched this could mean that the disc usage far exceeds what the user expects, potentially running out of space.
### Approach
There would be certainly other approaches that could fix the problem while still allowing the current behavior, but all of the ideas I came up with seemed like overkill for a niche problem on a new RPC where it's still unclear how and how much it will be used.
### Testing
So far I did not see a simple enough way to test this I am still looking into it and if it's complex will potentially add it in a follow-up. What would be needed is a way to have a node fetch headers but not sync the blocks yet, that seems like a pattern that could be generally useful.
To manually reproduce the problematic behavior:
1. Start a node with current `master` with `-prune=550` and an empty/new datadir, Testnet and Mainnet should both work.
2. While the node is syncing run `getblockfrompeer` on the current tip and a few other recent blocks.
3. Go to your datadir and observe the blocks folder: There should be a few full `blk*.dat` and `rev*.dat` files that are not being pruned. When you "pinned" a few of these files the blocks folder should be significantly above the target size of 550MB.

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.

### Original PR description
> The `scanblocks` RPC call allows one to get relevant blockhashes from a set of descriptors by scanning all blockfilters in a given range.
>
> **Example:**
>
> `scanblocks start '["addr(<bitcoin_address>)"]' 661000` (returns relevant blockhashes for `<bitcoin_address>` from blockrange 661000->tip)
>
> ## Why is this useful?
> **Fast wallet rescans**: get the relevant blocks and only rescan those via `rescanblockchain getblockheader(<hash>)[height] getblockheader(<hash>)[height])`. A future PR may add an option to allow to provide an array of blockhashes to `rescanblockchain`.
>
> **prune wallet rescans**: (_needs additional changes_): together with a call to fetch blocks from the p2p network if they have been pruned, it would allow to rescan wallets back to the genesis block in pruned mode (relevant #15946).
>
> **SPV mode** (_needs additional changes_): it would be possible to build the blockfilterindex from the p2p network (rather then deriving them from the blocks) and thus allow some sort of hybrid-SPV mode with moderate bandwidth consumption (related #9483)

00eeb31c76 scripted-diff: rename CChainState -> Chainstate (James O'Beirne)
Pull request description:
Alright alright alright, I know: we hate refactors. We especially hate cosmetic refactors.
Nobody knows better than I that changing broad swaths of code out from under our already-abused collaborators, only to send a cascade of rebase bankruptcies, is annoying at best and sadistic at worst. And for a rename! The indignation!
But just for a second, imagine yourself. Programming `bitcoin/bitcoin`, on a sandy beach beneath a lapis lazuli sky. You go to type the name of what is probably the most commonly used data structure in the codebase, and you *only hit shift once*.
What could you do in such a world? You could do anything. [The only limit is yourself.](https://zombo.com/)

So maybe you like the idea of this patch but really don't want to deal with rebasing. You're in luck!
Here're the commands that will bail you out of rebase bankruptcy:
```sh
git rebase -i $(git merge-base HEAD master) \
-x 'sed -i "s/CChainState/Chainstate/g" $(git ls-files | grep -E ".*\.(py|cpp|h)$") && git commit --amend --no-edit'
# <commit changed?>
git add -u && git rebase --continue
