This CreateAndActivateUTXOSnapshot parameter is necessary once we
perform snapshot completion within ABC, since the existing UpdateTip
test will fail because the IBD chain that has generated the snapshot
will exceed the base of the snapshot.
Being able to test snapshots being loaded into a mostly-uninitialized
datadir allows for more realistic unittest scenarios.
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).

for test code.
Use {Chain,}TestingSetup's existing {Chainstate,Block}Manager and avoid
unnecessarily creating a local one.
This also helps reduce the code diff for a later commit where we change
{Chainstate,Block}Manager's constructor signature.

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.
[META] Although it seems like we don't need it for just one option,
we're going to introduce another member to this struct *in the
next commit*. In future patchsets for libbitcoinkernel decoupling
it from ArgsManager, even more members will be added here.
This is needed to turn globals into member variables. Otherwise, this
will lead to issues:
runtime error: reference binding to null pointer of type 'CBlockFileInfo'

This changes background_cs from being a pointer to a reference to work
around a gcc false warning. Also, this makes the test easier to read.

Modify UpdateTip and CheckBlockIndex for use with multiple chainstates. Includes a new unittest verifying `g_best_block` behavior (previously untested at the unit level) and various changes necessary for running and testing `ProcessNewBlock()`-like behavior on the background validation chainstate.
This changeset introduces a new block index `nStatus` flag called `BLOCK_ASSUMED_VALID`, and it is applied to block index entries that are beneath the UTXO snapshot base block upon snapshot load. Once each block is validated (during async background validation), the flag is removed. This allows us to avoid (ab)using `BLOCK_VALID_*` flags for snapshot chain block entries, and preserves the original meaning of those flags.
Note: this PR previously incorporated changes to `LoadBlockIndex()` and `RewindBlockIndex()` as noted in Russ' comments below, but once I generated the changes necessary to test the UpdateTip change, I decided to split this changes out into another PR due to the size of this one.

Since we now have multiple chainstate objects, only one of them is active at any given
time. An active chainstate has a mempool, but there's no point to others having one.
This change will simplify proposed assumeutxo semantics. See the discussion here:
