6360b5302d validation: Change return value of VerifyDB to enum type (Martin Zumsande)
Pull request description:
`VerifyDB()` can fail to complete due to insufficient dbcache at the level 3 checks. This PR improves the error handling in this case in the following ways:
- The rpc `-verifychain` now returns false if the check can't be completed due to insufficient cache
- During init, we only log a warning if the default values for `-checkblocks` and `-checklevel` are taken and the check doesn't complete. However, if the user actively specifies one of these args, we return with an InitError if we can't complete the check.
This PR also changes `-verifychain` RPC to return `false` if the verification didn't finish due to missing block data (pruning) or due to being interrupted by the node being shutdown.
Previously, this PR also included a fix for a possible assert during verification - this was done in #27009 (now merged).

Code review ACK 0af16e7134. Only small suggested changes since the last review, like renaming some of the enum values. I did leave more suggestions, but they are not very important and could be followups

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.
Use DBParams struct to remove ArgsManager uses from txdb.
To reduce size of this commit, this moves references to gArgs variable out of
txdb.cpp to calling code in chainstate.cpp. But these moves are temporary. The
gArgs references in chainstate.cpp are moved out to calling code in init.cpp in
later commits.
This commit does not change behavior.
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.
Add functionality for activating a snapshot-based chainstate if one is
detected on-disk.
Also cautiously initialize chainstate cache usages so that we don't
somehow blow past our cache allowances during initialization, then
rebalance at the end of init.

Fixes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/22964
Previously, we used UnloadBlockIndex() in order to reset node.mempool
and node.chainman. However, that has proven to be fragile (see
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/22964), and requires
UnloadBlockIndex and its callees to be updated manually for each member
that's introduced to the mempool and chainman classes.
In this commit, we stop using the UnloadBlockIndex function and we
simply reconstruct node.mempool and node.chainman.
Since PeerManager needs a valid reference to both node.mempool and
node.chainman, we also move PeerManager's construction via `::make` to
after the chainstate activation sequence is complete.
There are no more callers to UnloadBlockIndex after this commit, so it
and its sole callees can be pruned.
...instead pass in a std::function<int64_t()>
Note that the static_cast is needed (apparently) for the compiler to
know which overloaded GetTime to choose.
...by moving the try/catch out of LoadChainstate
I strongly recommend reviewing with the following git-diff flags:
--color-moved=dimmed_zebra --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change
...instead allow the caller to optionally pass in callbacks which are
triggered for certain events.
Behaviour change: The string "Verifying blocks..." was previously
printed for each chainstate in chainman which did not have an
effectively empty coinsview, now it will be printed once unconditionally
before we call VerifyLoadedChain.
This allows us to separate the initialization code from translations and
error reporting.
This change changes the caller semantics of LoadChainstate quite
drastically.
To see that this change doesn't change behaviour, observe that:
1. Prior to this change, LoadChainstate returned false only in the "bad
genesis block" failure case (by returning InitError()), indicating
that the caller should immediately bail. After this change, the
corresponding ERROR_BAD_GENESIS_BLOCK handler in src/init.cpp
maintains behavioue by also bailing immediately.
2. The failed_* temporary booleans were only used to break out of the
outer do/while(false) loop. They can therefore be safely removed.
I strongly recommend reviewing with the following git-diff flags:
--color-moved=dimmed_zebra --color-moved-ws=allow-indentation-change
[META] This commit is intended to be as close to a move-only commit as
possible, and lingering ugliness will be resolved in subsequent
commits.
A few variables that are passed in by value instead of by reference
deserve explanation:
- fReset and fReindexChainstate are both local variables in AppInitMain
and are not modified in the sequence
- fPruneMode, despite being a global, is only modified in
AppInitParameterInteraction, long before LoadChainstate is called

[META] This semantic will change in a future commit named
"node/chainstate: Decouple from stringy errors"
