This fix is a based on the fix by Antoine Riard <ariard@student.42.fr> in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18600.
Unlike that PR, which implements some new behavior, this just restores previous
wallet notification and status behavior for transactions removed from the
mempool because they conflict with transactions in a block. The behavior was
accidentally changed in two `CWallet::BlockConnected` updates:
a31be09bfd and
7e89994133 from
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16624, causing issue
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/18325.
The change here could be improved and replaced with a more comprehensive
cleanup, so it includes a detailed comment explaining future considerations.

Pull request description:
This PR introduces mempool tracking of unbroadcast transactions and periodic reattempts at initial broadcast. This is a part of the rebroadcast project, and a standalone privacy win.
The current rebroadcast logic is terrible for privacy because 1. only the source wallet rebroadcasts transactions and 2. it does so quite frequently. In the current system, if a user submits a transaction that does not immediately get broadcast to the network (eg. they are offline), this "rebroadcast" behavior is the safety net that can actually serve as the initial broadcast. So, keeping the attempts frequent is important for initial delivery within a reasonable timespan.
This PR aims to improve # 2 by reducing the wallet rebroadcast frequency to ~1/day from ~1/15 min. It achieves this by separating the notion of initial broadcast from rebroadcasts. With these changes, the mempool tracks locally submitted transactions & periodically reattempts initial broadcast. Transactions submitted via the wallet or RPC are added to an "unbroadcast" set & are removed when a peer sends a `getdata` request, or the transaction is removed from the mempool. Every 10-15 minutes, the node reattempts an initial broadcast. This enables reducing the wallet rebroadcast frequency while ensuring the transactions will be propagated to the network.
For privacy improvements around # 1, please see #16698.
Thank you to gmaxwell for the idea of how to break out this subset of functionality (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16698#issuecomment-571399346)

- Mempool tracks locally submitted transactions (wallet or rpc)
- Transactions are removed from set when the node receives a GETDATA request
from a peer, or if the transaction is removed from the mempool.
NotifyEntryAdded never had any subscribers so can be removed.
Since ConnectTrace no longer subscribes to NotifyEntryRemoved, there are
now no subscribers.
The CValidationInterface TransactionAddedToMempool and
TransactionRemovedFromMempool methods can now provide this
functionality. There's no need for a special notifications framework for
the mempool.
The only CValidationInterface client that cares about transactions that
are removed from the mempool because of CONFLICT is the wallet.
Start using the TransactionRemovedFromMempool method to notify about
conflicted transactions instead of using the vtxConflicted vector in
BlockConnected.

Replace all uses of boost::optional with our own Optional type. Luckily, there aren't so many.
After this:
- `boost::optional` is no longer used directly (only through `Optional` which is an alias for it)

This moves the following policy settings functions and globals to a new
src/policy/settings unit in lib_server:
- `incrementalRelayFee`
- `dustRelayFee`
- `nBytesPerSigOp`
- `fIsBareMultisigStd`
These settings are only required by the node and should not be accessed
by other libraries.

Make objects in range declarations immutable by default.
Rationale:
* Immutable objects are easier to reason about.
* Prevents accidental or hard-to-notice change of value.

Pull request description:
Several years ago the transaction hash was not cached. For optimization the hash was instead passed into `addUnchecked` to avoid re-calculating it. See f77654a0e9
Passing in the hash is now redundant and the argument can safely be removed.
