`CBlockPolicyEstimator` will implement `CValidationInterface` and
subscribe to its notification to process transactions added and removed
from the mempool.
Re-delegate calculation of `validForFeeEstimation` from validation to fee estimator.
Also clean up the validForFeeEstimation arg thats no longer needed in `CTxMempool`.

Pull request description:
This PR is a follow-up to fix review comments and a bugfix from #28385
The PR
- Updated `DisconnectedBlockTransactions`'s `MAX_DISCONNECTED_TX_POOL` from kb to bytes.
- Moved `DisconnectedBlockTransactions` implementation code to `kernel/disconnected_transactions.cpp`.
- `AddTransactionsFromBlock` now assume duplicate transactions are not passed by asserting after inserting each transaction to `iters_by_txid`.
- Included a Bug fix: In the current master we are underestimating the memory usage of `DisconnectedBlockTransactions`.
* When adding and subtracting `cachedInnerUsage` we call `RecursiveDynamicUsage` with `CTransaction` which invokes this [`RecursiveDynamicUsage(const CTransaction& tx)`](6e721c923c/src/core_memusage.h (L32)) version of `RecursiveDynamicUsage`, the output of that call only account for the memory usage of the inputs and outputs of the `CTransaction`, this omits the memory usage of the `CTransaction` object and the control block.
* This PR fixes this bug by calling `RecursiveDynamicUsage` with `CTransactionRef` when adding and subtracting `cachedInnerUsage` which invokes [`RecursiveDynamicUsage(const std::shared_ptr<X>& p)`](6e721c923c/src/core_memusage.h (L67)) version of `RecursiveDynamicUsage` the output of the calculation accounts for the` CTransaction` object, the control blocks, inputs and outputs memory usage.
* see [comment ](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28385#discussion_r1322948452)
- Added test for DisconnectedBlockTransactions memory limit.

Pull request description:
Motivation
- I think it's preferable to use stdlib data structures instead of depending on boost if we can achieve the same thing.
- Also see #28335 for further context/motivation. This PR simplifies that one.
Things done in this PR:
- Add a bench for `DisconnectedBlockTransactions` where we reorg and the new chain has {100%, 90%, 10%} of the same transactions. AFAIU in practice, it's usually close to 100%.
- Rewrite `DisconnectedBlockTransactions` as a `std::list` + `unordered_map` instead of a boost multi index container.
- On my machine, the bench suggests the performance is very similar.
- Move `DisconnectedBlockTransactions` from txmempool.h to its own kernel/disconnected_transactions.h. This struct isn't used by txmempool and doesn't have much to do with txmempool. My guess is that it's been living there for convenience since the boost includes are there.

Pull request description:
Some future work needs to touch things in script/standard.{h/cpp}, however it is unclear if it is safe to do so as they are included in several different places that could effect standardness and consensus. It contains a mix of policy parameters, consensus parameters, and utilities only used by the wallet. This PR breaks up the various components and renames the files to clearly separate everything.
* `CTxDestination` is moved to a new file `src/addresstype.{cpp/h}`
* `TaprootSpendData` and `TaprootBuilder` (and their utility functions and structs) are moved to `SigningProvider` as these are used only during signing.
* `CScriptID` is moved to `script/script.h` to be next to `CScript`.
* `MANDATORY_SCRIPT_VERIFY_FLAGS` is moved to `interpreter.h`
* The parameters `DEFAULT_ACCEPT_DATACARRIER` and `MAX_OP_RETURN_RELAY` are moved to `policy.h`
* `standard.{cpp/h}` is renamed to `solver.{cpp/h}` since that's all that's left in the file after the above moves

Pull request description:
Leveldb headers are currently included in the `dbwrapper.h` file and thus available to many of Bitcoin Core's source files. However, leveldb-specific functionality should be abstracted by the `dbwrapper` and does not need to be available to the rest of the code. Having leveldb included in a widely-used header such as `dbwrapper.h` bloats the entire project's header tree.
The `dbwrapper` is a key component of the libbitcoinkernel library. Future users of this library would not want to contend with having the leveldb headers exposed and potentially polluting their project's namespace.
For these reasons, the leveldb headers are removed from the `dbwrapper` by moving leveldb-specific code to the implementation file and creating a [pimpl](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/pimpl) where leveldb member variables are indispensable. As a final step, the leveldb include flags are removed from the `BITCOIN_INCLUDES` and moved to places where the dbwrapper is compiled.

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.)
FatalError replaces what previously was the AbortNode function in
shutdown.cpp.
This commit is part of the libbitcoinkernel project and further removes
the shutdown's and, more generally, the kernel library's dependency on
interface_ui with a kernel notification method. By removing interface_ui
from the kernel library, its dependency on boost is reduced to just
boost::multi_index. At the same time it also takes a step towards
de-globalising the interrupt infrastructure.

This change helps generalize shutdown code so an interrupt can be
provided to libbitcoinkernel callers. This may also be useful to
eventually de-globalize all of the shutdown code.

After initially being merged in #20487, it's no-longer clear that an
internal syscall sandboxing mechanism is something that Bitcoin Core
should have/maintain, especially when compared to better
maintained/supported alterantives, i.e firejail.
Note that given where it's used, the sandbox also gets dragged into the
kernel.
There is some related discussion in #24771.
This should not require any sort of deprecation, as this was only ever
an opt-in, experimental feature.
Closes #24771.
The background of this commit is an ongoing effort to decouple the
libbitcoinkernel library from code that is not strictly required by it.
The settings code belongs into the common library and namespace, since
the kernel library should not depend on it. See doc/design/libraries.md
for more information on this rationale.
Changing the namespace of the moved functions is scripted in the
following commit.
Since the kernel library no longer depends on the system file, move it
to the common library instead in accordance to the diagram in
doc/design/libraries.md.
With the previous move of AlertNotify out of the validation file, and
thus out of the kernel library, ScheduleBatchPriority is the last
remaining function used by the kernel library from util/system. Move it
to its own file, such that util/system can be moved out of the util
library in the following few commits.
Moving util/system out of the kernel library removes further networking
as well as shell related code from it.
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.
Define a new kernel notification class with virtual methods for
notifying about internal kernel events. Create a new file in the node
library for defining a function creating the default set of notification
methods such that these do not need to be re-defined all over the
codebase. As a first step, add a `blockTip` method, wrapping
`uiInterface.NotifyBlockTip`.

Implement Mini version of BlockAssembler to calculate mining scores
Run the mining algorithm on a subset of the mempool, only disturbing the
mempool to copy out fee information for relevant entries. Intended to be
used by wallet to calculate amounts needed for fee-bumping unconfirmed
transactions.
From comments of sipa and glozow below:

> * Has the ability to remove transactions that will be replaced so they don't impact their ancestors
> * Does not hold mempool lock outside of the constructor, makes copies of the entries it needs instead (though I'm not sure if this has an effect in practice)
> * Doesn't do the sanity checks like keeping weight within max block weight and `IsFinalTx()`
> * After the block template is built, additionally calculates fees to bump remaining ancestor packages to target feerate

1b1ffbd014 Build: Log when test -f fails in Makefile (TheCharlatan)
541012e621 Build: Use AM_V_GEN in Makefiles where appropriate (TheCharlatan)
Pull request description:
This PR triages some behavior around Makefile recipe echoing suppression.
When generating new files as part of the Makefile the recipe is sometimes suppressed with $(AM_V_GEN) and sometimes with `@`. We should prefer $(AM_V_GEN), since this also prints the lines in silent mode. This is arguably more in style with the current recipe echoing.
Before:
`Generated test/data/script_tests.json.h`
Now:
` GEN test/data/script_tests.json.h`
A side effect of this change is that the recipe for generating build.h is now echoed on each make run. Arguably this makes its generation more transparent.
Sometimes the error emitted by `test -f` is currently thrown without any logging. This makes it a bit harder to debug. Instead, print a helpful log message to point the developer in the right direction.
Alternatively this could have been implemented by just removing the recipe echo suppression (@), but the subsequent make output became too noisy.

This is the first of a number of commits with the goal of moving the
chain type definitions out of chainparamsbase to their own file and
implementing them as enums instead of constant strings. The goal is to
allow the kernel chainparams to no longer include chainparamsbase.
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.

A memory resource similar to `std::pmr::unsynchronized_pool_resource`, but optimized for node-based containers. The goal is to be able to cache more coins with the same memory usage, and allocate/deallocate faster.
This is a reimplementation of #22702. The goal was to implement it in a way that is simpler to review & test
* There is now a generic `PoolResource` for allocating/deallocating memory. This has practically the same API as `std::pmr::memory_resource`. (Unfortunately I cannot use std::pmr because libc++ simply doesn't implement that API).
* Thanks to sipa there is now a fuzzer for PoolResource! On a fast machine I ran it for ~770 million executions without finding any issue.
* The estimation of the correct node size is now gone, PoolResource now has multiple pools and just needs to be created large enough to have space for the unordered_map nodes.
I ran benchmarks with #22702, mergebase, and this PR. Frequency locked Intel i7-8700, clang++ 13.0.1 to reindex up to block 690000.
```sh
bitcoind -dbcache=5000 -assumevalid=00000000000000000002a23d6df20eecec15b21d32c75833cce28f113de888b7 -reindex-chainstate -printtoconsole=0 -stopatheight=690000
```
The performance is practically identical with #22702, just 0.4% slower. It's ~21% faster than master:
Note that on cache drops mergebase's memory doesnt go so far down because it does not free the `CCoinsMap` bucket array.

Rewrite the same algo instead of reusing BlockAssembler because we have
a few extra requirements that would make the changes invasive and
difficult to review:
- Only operate on the relevant transactions rather than full mempool
- Remove transactions that will be replaced so they can't bump their ancestors
- Don't hold mempool lock outside of the constructor
- Skip things like max block weight and IsFinalTx
- Additionally calculate fees to bump remaining ancestor packages to target feerate

This pull request is part of the `libbitcoinkernel` project https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/24303https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/18 and more specifically its "Step 2: Decouple most non-consensus code from libbitcoinkernel". dongcarl is the original author of this patchset, these commits were taken from https://github.com/dongcarl/bitcoin/tree/2022-03-libbitcoinkernel-chainparams-args-only.
#### Context
The bitcoin kernel library currently relies on code containing user configurations through the `ArgsManager`. This is not optimal, since as a stand-alone library it should not rely on bitcoind's argument parsing logic. Instead, its interfaces should accept control and options structs that control the kernel library's desired configuration.
Similar work towards decoupling the `ArgsManager` from the kernel has been done in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25290, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25487, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25527 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25862.
#### Changes
By moving the `CChainParams` class definition into the kernel and giving it new factory functions `CChainParams::{RegTest,SigNet,Main,TestNet}`it can be constructed without an `ArgsManager` reference, unlike the current factory function `CreateChainParams`.
The first few commits remove uses of `ArgsManager` within `CChainParams`. Then the `CChainParams` definition is moved to a new file in the `kernel/` subdirectory.

Moves chainparams code not using the ArgsManager to the kernel.
Subsequently use the kernel chainparams header now where possible in
order to further decouple chainparams call sites from gArgs.
This is a minimal extraction of a single function, but also the only use
of std::exception in util/system.
The background of this commit is an ongoing effort to decouple the
libbitcoinkernel library from the ArgsManager defined in system.h.
Moving the function out of system.h allows including it from a separate
source file without including the ArgsManager definitions from system.h.
Add common InitConfig function to deduplicate bitcoind and bitcoin-qt code
reading config files and creating the datadir.
There are a few minor changes in behavior:
- In bitcoin-qt, when there is a problem reading the configuration file, the
GUI error text has changed from "Error: Cannot parse configuration file:" to
"Error reading configuration file:" to be consistent with bitcoind.
- In bitcoind, when there is a problem reading the settings.json file, the
error text has changed from "Failed loading settings file" to "Settings
file could not be read" to be consistent with bitcoin-qt.
- In bitcoind, when there is a problem writing the settings.json file, the
error text has changed from "Failed saving settings file" to "Settings file
could not be written" to be consistent with bitcoin-qt.
- In bitcoin-qt, if there datadir is not accessible (e.g. no permission to read),
there is an normal error dialog showing "Error: filesystem error: status:
Permission denied [.../settings.json]", instead of an uncaught exception
