This change drops the last kernel dependency on shutdown.cpp. It also adds new
hooks for libbitcoinkernel applications to be able to interrupt kernel
operations when the chain tip changes.
This is a refactoring that does not affect behavior. (Looking at the code it
can appear like the new break statement in the ActivateBestChain function is a
change in behavior, but actually the previous StartShutdown call was indirectly
triggering a break before, because it was causing m_chainman.m_interrupt to be
true. The new code just makes the break more obvious.)
Remove access to the global gArgs for the stopatheight argument and
replace it by adding a field to the existing ChainstateManager Options
struct.
This should eventually allow users of the ChainstateManager to not rely
on the global gArgs and instead pass in their own options.
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.
This changes the flag for the bitcoin-chainstate executable. Previously
it was false, now it is the chain's default value (still false for the
main chain).
This changes the minimum chain work for the bitcoin-chainstate
executable. Previously it was uint256{}, now it is the chain's default
minimum chain work.
