b31a0cd037 log: expand BCLog::LogFlags (categories) to 64 bits (Larry Ruane)
Pull request description:
Increase the maximum number of logging categories from 32 to 64.
We're currently using 29 of the 32 available logging categories (there are only 3 remaining). It would be good to increase the limit soon; the fourth PR to be merged that adds a new logging category will be blocked until something like this is done.
This PR also adds a `TEST` category that uses the new range (`1ULL << 63`) in case there's a hidden assumption somewhere that the `BCLog::LogFlags` type is 32 bits. (Also added a test for this test category.) It also provides an example showing that the expression must be `1ULL << <shift>` for shift value 31 and beyond.

The src/node/ directory contains code that needs to access node state
(state in CChain, CBlockIndex, CCoinsView, CTxMemPool, and similar
classes).
Code in src/node/ is meant to be segregated from code in
src/wallet/ and src/qt/, to ensure wallet and GUI
code changes don't interfere with node operation, to allow wallet and GUI code
to run in separate processes, and to perhaps eventually allow wallet and GUI
code to be maintained in separate source repositories.
As a rule of thumb, code in one of the src/node/,
src/wallet/, or src/qt/ directories should avoid
calling code in the other directories directly, and only invoke it indirectly
through the more limited src/interfaces/ classes.
This directory is at the moment
sparsely populated. Eventually more substantial files like
src/validation.cpp and
src/txmempool.cpp might be moved there.
