Adds support for versionbits deployments to DeploymentEnabled,
DeploymentActiveAfter and DeploymentActiveAt. Also moves versionbitscache
from validation to deploymentstatus.
This removes the DEFINED->FAILED transition and changes the
STARTED->FAILED transition to only occur if signalling didn't pass the
threshold. This ensures that it is always possible for activation to
occur, no matter what settings are chosen, or the speed at which blocks
are found.
Previously we used deployments that would timeout prior to Bitcoin's
invention, which allowed the deployment to still be activated in unit
tests. This switches those deployments to be truly never active.
This generalises the ComputeBlockVersion test so that it can apply to
any activation parameters we might set, and checks all the parameters
set for each deployment on each chain, to simultaneously ensure that the
deployments we have configured work sensibly, and that the test code
does not suffer bitrot in the event that all interesting deployments
are buried.
The intent here is to allow checking ComputeBlockVersion behaviour with
each deployment, rather than only testdummy on mainnet. This commit does
the trivial refactoring component of that change.
2c448d6bc7 parameterize hard coded numbers referring to miner conf window (Jordan Baczuk)
Pull request description:
Replace hard coded values (eg. 2016) with `mainnetParams.nMinerConfirmationWindow` where appropriate. This parameterizes hard coded values in the unit test that refer to the `Miner Confirmation Window`, which currently is `2016`. This includes values not exactly 2016 but which were derived from it. Also changed `int` to `uint32_t` where appropriate to avoid compiler warnings. This makes one source of truth, and also helps people who might be adjusting this value in testing so the unit tests don't break.

9ad6746ccd Use static_cast instead of C-style casts for non-fundamental types (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
A C-style cast is equivalent to try casting in the following order:
1. `const_cast(...)`
2. `static_cast(...)`
3. `const_cast(static_cast(...))`
4. `reinterpret_cast(...)`
5. `const_cast(reinterpret_cast(...))`
By using `static_cast<T>(...)` explicitly we avoid the possibility of an unintentional and dangerous `reinterpret_cast`. Furthermore `static_cast<T>(...)` allows for easier grepping of casts.
For a more thorough discussion, see ["ES.49: If you must use a cast, use a named cast"](https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines#es49-if-you-must-use-a-cast-use-a-named-cast) in the C++ Core Guidelines (Stroustrup & Sutter).

In this test, `nTime` is used for all the calls to `Mine()`, each time being set to the correct time beforehand, except for in the last few calls to `Mine()` where `nStartTime` is used directly, even though `nTime` is still set to `nStartTime` beforehand. `nTime` just remains unused for these last few calls to `Mine()`.
Changed the last few calls to `Mine()` to use `nTime` instead, improving consistency. This also fixes an unused value static analyzer warning about `nTime` being set to a value which is never used.
There are only a few uses of `insecure_random` outside the tests.
This PR replaces uses of insecure_random (and its accompanying global
state) in the core code with an FastRandomContext that is automatically
seeded on creation.
This is meant to be used for inner loops. The FastRandomContext
can be in the outer scope, or the class itself, then rand32() is used
inside the loop. Useful e.g. for pushing addresses in CNode or the fee
rounding, or randomization for coin selection.
As a context is created per purpose, thus it gets rid of
cross-thread unprotected shared usage of a single set of globals, this
should also get rid of the potential race conditions.
- I'd say TxMempool::check is not called enough to warrant using a special
fast random context, this is switched to GetRand() (open for
discussion...)
- The use of `insecure_rand` in ConnectThroughProxy has been replaced by
an atomic integer counter. The only goal here is to have a different
credentials pair for each connection to go on a different Tor circuit,
it does not need to be random nor unpredictable.
- To avoid having a FastRandomContext on every CNode, the context is
passed into PushAddress as appropriate.
There remains an insecure_random for test usage in `test_random.h`.
