Pull request description:
Wallets that have a ton of non-ranged descriptors (such as a migrated non-HD wallet) perform fairly poorly due to looping through all of the wallet's `ScriptPubKeyMan`s. This is done in various places, such as `IsMine`, and helper functions for fetching a `ScriptPubKeyMan` and a `SolvingProvider`. This also has a bit of a performance impact on standard descriptor wallets, although less noticeable due to the small number of SPKMs.
As these functions are based on doing `IsMine` for each `ScriptPubKeyMan`, we can improve this performance by caching `IsMine` scriptPubKeys for all descriptors and use that to determine which `ScriptPubKeyMan` to actually use for those things. This cache is used exclusively and we no longer iterate the SPKMs.
Also added a benchmark for `IsMine`.

Instead of iterating m_spk_managers a DescriptorSPKM has been loaded in
order to get it's ID to compare, have LoadDescriptorSPKM return a
reference to the loaded DescriptorSPKM so it can be queried directly.
Have CWallet maintain a cache of all known scriptPubKeys for its
DescriptorSPKMs in order to improve performance of the functions that
require searching for scriptPubKeys.
After TopUp completes, the wallet containing each SPKM will want to know
what new scriptPubKeys were generated. In order for all TopUp calls
(including ones internal the the SPKM), we use a callback function in
the WalletStorage interface.

Transactions are intended to be started on upper layers rather than
internally by the bdb batch object. This enables us to consolidate
different write operations within a procedure in the same db txn,
improving consistency due to the atomic property of the transaction,
as well as its performance due to the reduction of disk write
operations.
Important Note:
This approach also ensures that the BerkeleyBatch::ErasePrefix
function behaves exactly as the SQLiteBatch::ErasePrefix function,
which does not create a db txn internally.
Furthermore, since the `BerkeleyBatch::ErasePrefix' implementation
erases records one by one (by traversing the db), this change
ensures that the function is always called within an active txn
context. Without this measure, there's a potential risk to consistency;
certain records may be removed while others could persist due to an
internal failure during the procedure.
'RunWithinTxn()' provides a way to execute db operations within a
transactional context. It avoids writing repetitive boilerplate code for
starting and committing the database transaction.

Pull request description:
Work decoupled from #28574. Brother of #28894.
Includes two different, yet interconnected, performance and code improvements to the zap wallet transactions process.
1) As the goal of the `ZapSelectTx` function is to erase tx records that match any of the inputted hashes. There is no need to traverse the whole database record by record. We could just check if the tx exist, and remove it directly by calling `EraseTx()`.
2) Instead of performing single write operations per removed tx record, this PR batches them all within a single atomic db txn.
Moreover, these changes will enable us to consolidate all individual write operations that take place during the wallet migration process into a single db txn in the future.

***Please refer to the [topic on Delving Bitcoin](https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/gutterguard-and-coingrinder-simulation-results/279) discussing Gutter Guard/Coingrinder simulation results.***
Adds a coin selection algorithm that minimizes the weight of the input set while creating change.
Motivations
---
- At high feerates, using unnecessary inputs can significantly increase the fees
- Users are upset when fees are relatively large compared to the amount sent
- Some users struggle to maintain a sufficient count of UTXOs in their wallet
Approach
---
So far, Bitcoin Core has used a balanced approach to coin selection, where it will generate multiple input set candidates using various coin selection algorithms and pick the least wasteful among their results, but not explicitly minimize the input set weight. Under some circumstances, we _do_ want to minimize the weight of the input set. Sometimes changeless solutions require many or heavy inputs, and there is not always a changeless solution for Branch and Bound to find in the first place. This can cause expensive transactions unnecessarily. Given a wallet with sufficient funds, `CoinGrinder` will pick the minimal-waste input set for a transaction with a change output. The current implementation only runs `CoinGrinder` at feerates over 3×long-term-feerate-estimate (by default 30 ṩ/vB), which may be a decent compromise between our goal to reduce costs for the users, but still permit transactions at lower feerates to naturally reduce the wallet’s UTXO pool to curb bloat.
Trade-offs
---
Simulations for my thesis on coin selection ([see Section 6.3.2.1 [PDF]](https://murch.one/erhardt2016coinselection.pdf)) suggest that minimizing the input set for all transactions tends to grind a wallet’s UTXO pool to dust (pun intended): an approach selecting inputs per coin-age-priority (in effect similar to “largest first selection”) on average produced a UTXO pool with 15× the UTXO count as Bitcoin Core’s Knapsack-based Coin Selection then (in 2016). Therefore, I do not recommend running `CoinGrinder` under all circumstances, but only at extreme feerates or when we have another good reason to minimize the input set for other reasons. In the long-term, we should introduce additional metrics to score different input set candidates, e.g. on basis of their privacy and wallet health impact, to pick from all our coin selection results, but until then, we may want to limit use of `CoinGrinder` in other ways.

The goal of the function is to erase the wallet transactions that
match the inputted hashes. There is no need to traverse the database,
reading record by record, to then perform single entry removals for
each of them.
To ensure consistency and improve performance, this change-set removes
all tx records within a single atomic db batch operation, as well as
it cleans up code, improves error handling and simplifies the
transactions removal process entirely.
This optimizes the removal of watch-only transactions during the wallet
migration process and the 'removeprunedfunds' RPC command.
Given a lot of small amount UTXOs it is possible that the lookahead
indicates sufficient funds, but any combination of them would push us
beyond the current best_weight.
We can estimate a lower bound for the minimal necessary weight to reach
target from the maximal amount and minimal weight in the tail of the
UTXO pool: if adding a number of hypothetical UTXOs of this maximum
amount and minimum weight would not be able to beat `best_weight`, we
can SHIFT to the omission branch, and CUT if the last selected UTXO is
not heavier than the minimum weight of the remainder.
In situations where we have UTXO groups of various weight, we can CUT
rather than SHIFT when we exceeded the max_weight or the best
selection’s weight while the last step was equal to the minimum weight
in the lookahead.
When two successive UTXOs differ in weight but match in effective value,
we can skip the second if the first is not selected, because all input
sets we can generate by swapping out a lighter UTXOs with a heavier UTXO
of matching effective value would be strictly worse.
When two successive UTXOs match in effective value and weight, we can
skip the second if the prior is not selected: adding it would create an
equivalent input set to a previously evaluated.
E.g. if we have three UTXOs with effective values {5, 3, 3} of the same
weight each, we want to evaluate
{5, _, _}, {5, 3, _}, {5, 3, 3}, {_, 3, _}, {_, 3, 3},
but skip {5, _, 3}, and {_, _, 3}, because the first 3 is not selected,
and we therefore do not need to evaluate the second 3 at the same
position in the input set.
If we reach the end of the branch, we must SHIFT the previously selected
UTXO group instead.
Introduces a dedicated data structure to track the total
effective_value available in the remaining UTXOs at each index of the
UTXO pool. In contrast to the approach in BnB, this allows us to
immediately jump to a lower index instead of visiting every UTXO to add
back their eff_value to the lookahead.
CoinGrinder may not be able to exhaustively search all potentially
interesting combinations for large UTXO pools, so we keep track of
whether the search was terminated by the iteration limit.

548ecd1155 tests: Test for concurrent writes with db tx (Ava Chow)
395bcd2454 sqlite: Ensure that only one SQLiteBatch is writing to db at a time (Ava Chow)
Pull request description:
The way that we have configured SQLite to run means that only one database transaction can be open at a time. Typically, each individual read and write operation will be its own transaction that is opened and committed automatically by SQLite. However, sometimes we want these operations to be batched into a multi-statement transaction, so `SQLiteBatch::TxnBegin`, `SQLiteBatch::TxnCommit`, and `SQLiteBatch::TxnAbort` are used to manage the transaction of the database.
However, once a db transaction is begun with one `SQLiteBatch`, any operations performed by another `SQLiteBatch` will also occur within the same transaction. Furthermore, those other `SQLiteBatch`s will not be expecting a transaction to be active, and will abort it once the `SQLiteBatch` is destructed. This is problematic as it will prevent some data from being written, and also cause the `SQLiteBatch` that opened the transaction in the first place to be in an unexpected state and throw an error.
To avoid this situation, we need to prevent the multiple batches from writing at the same time. To do so, I've implemented added a `CSemaphore` within `SQLiteDatabase` which will be used by any `SQLiteBatch` trying to do a write operation. `wait()` is called by `TxnBegin`, and at the beginning of `WriteKey`, `EraseKey`, and `ErasePrefix`. `post()` is called in `TxnCommit`, `TxnAbort` and at the end of `WriteKey`, `EraseKey`, and `ErasePrefix`. To avoid deadlocking on ` TxnBegin()` followed by a `WriteKey()`, `SQLiteBatch will now also track whether a transaction is in progress so that it knows whether to use the semaphore.
This issue is not a problem for BDB wallets since BDB uses WAL and provides transaction objects that must be used if an operation is to occur within a transaction. Specifically, we either pass a transaction pointer, or a nullptr, to all BDB operations, and this allows for concurrent transactions so it doesn't have this problem.

Instead of doing one db transaction per removed record,
we now batch all removals in a single db transaction.
Speeding up the process and preventing the wallet from entering
an inconsistent state when any of the intermediate writes fail.
1) Encode destination only once (instead of three).
2) Fail if the entry's linked data cannot be removed.
3) Don't remove entry from memory if db write fail.
4) Notify GUI only if removal succeeded

A SQLiteBatch need to wait for any other batch to finish writing before
it can begin writing, otherwise db txn state may be incorrectly
modified. To enforce this, each SQLiteDatabase has a semaphore which
acts as a lock and is acquired by a batch when it begins a write, erase,
or a transaction, and is released by it when it is done.
To avoid deadlocking on itself for writing during a transaction,
SQLiteBatch also keeps track of whether it has begun a transaction.
The wallet decryption process (CheckDecryptionKey() and Unlock())
contains an arg 'accept_no_keys,' introduced in #13926, that has
never been used.
Additionally, this also removes the unimplemented SplitWalletPath
function.

Pull request description:
A transaction does not necessarily have to belong to either the migrated wallet (with the private keys) and the watchonly wallet (with watchonly things), it could have multiple outputs with each isminetype. So we should be putting such transactions in one or the other wallet, but rather putting it in both.
I've added a test for this behavior, however the test also revealed a few other issues. Notably, it revealed that `migratewallet` would have the watchonly wallet rescan from genesis when it is reloaded at the end of migration. This could be a cause for migration appearing to be very slow. This is resolved by first writing best block records to the watchonly and solvable wallets, as well as updating the test to make sure that rescans don't happen.
The change to avoid rescans also found an issue where some of our early exits would result in unloading the wallet even though nothing happened. So there is also a commit to reload the wallet for such early exits.

It is possible for a transaction that has an output that belongs to the
mgirated wallet, and another output that belongs to the watchonly
wallet. Such transaction should appear in both wallets during migration.
Migration will unload loaded wallets prior to beginning. It will then
perform some checks which may exit early. Such unloaded wallets should
be reloaded prior to exiting.
When migrating, we should also be writing the bestblock record to the
watchonly and solvable wallets to avoid rescanning on the reload as that
can be slow.

Blank wallets (wallets without any keys are scripts) are being detected as already being descriptor wallets even though they are not.

Pull request description:
Discovered while was reviewing #29112, specifically https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29112#pullrequestreview-1821862931.
If the db handler that initiated the database transaction is destroyed,
the ongoing transaction cannot be left dangling when the db txn fails
to abort. It must be forcefully reverted; otherwise, any subsequent
db handler executing a write operation will dump the dangling,
to-be-reverted transaction data to disk.
This not only breaks the isolation property but also results in the
improper storage of incomplete information on disk, impacting
the wallet consistency.
This PR fixes the issue by resetting the db connection, automatically
rolling back the transaction (per https://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/close.html)
when the handler object is being destroyed and the txn abortion failed.
