533eab7d67 bugfix: Streamline setting reindex option (TheCharlatan)
Pull request description:
When restarting `bitcoind` during an ongoing reindex without setting the `-reindex` flag again, the block and coins db is left intact, but any data from the optional indexes is discarded. While not a bug per se, wiping the data again is
wasteful, both in terms of having to write it again, as well as potentially leading to longer startup times. So keep the index data instead when continuing a prior reindex.
Also includes a bugfix and smaller code cleanups around the reindexing code. The bug was introduced in b47bd95920: "kernel: De-globalize fReindex".

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.
