This commit effectively moves the definition of these constants
out of the chainparamsbase to their own file.
Using the ChainType enums provides better type safety compared to
passing around strings.
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.

This PR:
- gets rid of the `policy/fees` -> `txmempool` -> `policy/fees` circular dependency
- is an alternative to #13949, which nukes only one circular dependency

Developers are reporting crashes (potentially OOM) on IRC, but I can't reproduce. Still, revert this for now, since one developer reported the bare metal this was running on crashed.

29e983386b Fixes Bug in Transaction generation in ComplexMempool benchmark (Shorya)
Pull request description:
This fixes issues with `ComplexMempool` benchmark introduced in [#17292](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17292) , this stress test benchmarks performance of ancestor and descendant tracking of mempool graph algorithms on a complex Mempool.
This Benchmark first creates 100 base transactions and stores them in `available_coins` vector. `available_coins` is used for selecting ancestor transactions while creating 800 new transactions. For this a random transaction is picked from `available_coins` and some of its outputs are mapped to the inputs of the new transaction being created.
Now in case we exhaust all the outputs of an entry in `available_coins` then we need to remove it from `available_coins` before the next iteration of choosing a potential ancestor , it is now implemented with this patch.
As the index of the entry is randomly chosen from `available_coins` , In order to remove it from the vector , if index of the selected entry is not at the end of `available_coins` vector , it is swapped with the entry at the back of the vector , then the entry at the end of `available_coins` is popped out.
Earlier the code responsible for constructing outputs of the newly created transaction was inside the loop used for assigning ancestors to the transaction , which does some unnecessary work as it creates outputs of the transaction again and again , now it is moved out of the loop so outputs of the transaction are created just once before adding it to the final list of the transactions created. This one is a minor change to save some computation.
These changes have changed the `ComplexMempool` benchmark results on `bitcoin:master` as follows :

While generating transactions we select ancestors from available_coins ,in case we exhaust all the outputs of an entry in available_coins
then we need to remove it from available_coins before the next iteration of choosing a potential ancestor , it is now implemented with
this patch by ,As the index of the entry is randomly chosen from available_coins , In order to remove it from the vector if index of the
selected entry is not at the end of available_coins vector, it is swapped with the entry at the back of the vector , then the entry at the
end of available_coins is popped out.
Code generating outputs for the transaction is moved out of the loop, as it needs to be done only once before adding the transaction to ordered_coins
This replaces the current benchmarking framework with nanobench [1], an
MIT licensed single-header benchmarking library, of which I am the
autor. This has in my opinion several advantages, especially on Linux:
* fast: Running all benchmarks takes ~6 seconds instead of 4m13s on
an Intel i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz.
* accurate: I ran e.g. the benchmark for SipHash_32b 10 times and
calculate standard deviation / mean = coefficient of variation:
* 0.57% CV for old benchmarking framework
* 0.20% CV for nanobench
So the benchmark results with nanobench seem to vary less than with
the old framework.
* It automatically determines runtime based on clock precision, no need
to specify number of evaluations.
* measure instructions, cycles, branches, instructions per cycle,
branch misses (only Linux, when performance counters are available)
* output in markdown table format.
* Warn about unstable environment (frequency scaling, turbo, ...)
* For better profiling, it is possible to set the environment variable
NANOBENCH_ENDLESS to force endless running of a particular benchmark
without the need to recompile. This makes it to e.g. run "perf top"
and look at hotspots.
Here is an example copy & pasted from the terminal output:

* Adds support for asymptotes
This adds support to calculate asymptotic complexity of a benchmark.
This is similar to #17375, but currently only one asymptote is
supported, and I have added support in the benchmark `ComplexMemPool`
as an example.
Usage is e.g. like this:
```
./bench_bitcoin -filter=ComplexMemPool -asymptote=25,50,100,200,400,600,800
```
This runs the benchmark `ComplexMemPool` several times but with
different complexityN settings. The benchmark can extract that number
and use it accordingly. Here, it's used for `childTxs`. The output is
this:
| complexityN | ns/op | op/s | err% | ins/op | cyc/op | IPC | total | benchmark

| 0.0129823 | 114.4% | O(log n)
| 0.0815055 | 133.8% | O(1)
The best fitting curve is O(n^2), so the algorithm seems to scale
quadratic with `childTxs` in the range 25 to 800.
