Pull request description:
This is part of the [assumeutxo project](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/11):
Parent PR: #15606
Issue: #15605
Specification: https://github.com/jamesob/assumeutxo-docs/tree/master/proposal
---
In certain circumstances, we may want to flush chainstate data to disk without
emptying `cacheCoins`, which affects performance. UTXO snapshot
activation is one such case, as we populate `cacheCoins` with the snapshot
contents and want to persist immediately afterwards but also enter IBD.
See also #15265, which makes the case that under normal operation a
flush-without-erase doesn't necessarily add much benefit. I open this PR
even in light of the previous discussion because (i) flush-without-erase
almost certainly provides benefit in the case of snapshot activation (especially
on spinning disk hardware) and (ii) this diff is fairly small and gives us convenient
options for more granular cache management without changing existing policy.
See also #15218.

Since the removal of NODISCARD in 81d5af42f4,
the only attributes def is LIFETIMEBOUND, and it's included in many more
places that it is used.
This removes all includes which do not have an associated use of LIFETIMEBOUND,
and adds it to the following files, due to their use of the same:
* src/validationinterface.h
* src/script/standard.h

c205979031 [docs] Improve commenting in coins.cpp|h (John Newbery)
Pull request description:
- Add full commenting for spentness / DIRTYness / FRESHness and which combinations are valid
- Remove the 'pruned' terminology, which doesn't make sense since per-txout chainstate db was merged (#10195).
- Rename `potential_overwrite` to `possible_overwrite` to standardize terminology (there were previously examples of both, which made searching the codebase difficult).
- Make other minor improvements to the comments

Re-ACK 21fa0a4 per `git diff 98bee55 21fa0a4` the only change since my previous review is the following code commenting diff in `src/coins.cpp::L177-179`; rebuilt/ran unit tests anyway as a sanity check on the unit test changes.

Before this change, the coins simulation test uses a base view of type
CCoinsViewTest, which has no relevance outside of the unittest suite. Might as
well reuse this testcase with a more realistic configuration that has
CCoinsViewDB at the bottom of the view structure.
fae43a97ca test: Seed test RNG context for each test case, print seed (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Debugging failing unit tests is hard if the failure is non-deterministic and the seed is not known.
Fix that by printing the seed and making it possible to set the seed from outside.

Make objects in range declarations immutable by default.
Rationale:
* Immutable objects are easier to reason about.
* Prevents accidental or hard-to-notice change of value.
