de95953d87 rpc: Optimize serialization disk space of dumptxoutset (Fabian Jahr)
Pull request description:
The second attempt at implementing the `dumptxoutset` space optimization as suggested in #25675. Closes #25675.
This builds on the work done in #26045, addresses open feedback, adds some further improvements (most importantly usage of compact size), documentation, and an additional test.
The [original snapshot at height 830,000](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29551) came in at 10.82 GB. With this change, the same snapshot is 8.94 GB, a reduction of 17.4%.
This also enhances the metadata of the output file and adds the following data to allow for better error handling and make future upgrades easier:
- A newly introduced utxo set magic
- A version number
- The network magic
- The block height
