This avoids low-level log errors that are supposed to only occur when
there is an actual problem with the block on disk missing unexpectedly,
but not in the case where the block and/or undo data are expected not to be there.
It changes behavior such that in the first case (block index indicates
data is available but retrieving it fails) an error is thrown.
It also adjusts a functional tests that tried to simulate not
having undo data (but having block data) by deleting the undo file.
This situation should occur reality because block and undo data are pruned together.
Instead, test this situation with a block that hasn't been connected.
This currently has no effect due to fPowNoRetargeting,
except for the getnetworkhashps when called with -1.
It will when the next commit enforces the timewarp attack mitigation on regtest.

By throwing a custom exception from `Univalue::checkType` (instead of a plain
std::runtime_error) and catching it on the RPC server request handler.
So we properly return RPC_TYPE_ERROR (-3) on arg type errors and
not the general RPC_MISC_ERROR (-1).
f663b43df0 QA: rpc_blockchain: Test output of getblock verbosity 0, False, and True (Luke Dashjr)
Pull request description:
Currently getblock's "verbosity" is documented as a NUM, though it has a fallback to Boolean for the (deprecated?) "verbose" alias.
Since we've been doing more generic type-checking on RPC stuff, I think it would be a good idea to actually test the Boolean values work.
I didn't see an existing test for verbosity=0, so this adds that too.

In order to prevent memory DoS, we must ensure that we don't accept a new
header into memory until we've performed anti-DoS checks, such as verifying
that the header is part of a sufficiently high work chain. This commit adds a
new argument to AcceptBlockHeader() so that we can ensure that all call-sites
which might cause a new header to be accepted into memory have to grapple with
the question of whether the header is safe to accept, or needs further
validation.
This patch also fixes two places where low-difficulty-headers could have been
processed without such validation (processing an unrequested block from the
network, and processing a compact block).

fd826130a0 rpc: move softfork info from getblockchaininfo to getdeploymentinfo (Anthony Towns)
Pull request description:
The aim of this PR is to improve the ability to monitor soft fork status. It first moves the softfork section from getblockchaininfo into a new RPC named getdeploymentinfo, which is then also able to query the status of forks at an arbitrary block rather than only at the tip. In addition, bip9 status is changed to indicate the status of the given block, rather than just for the next block, and an additional field is included to indicate whether each block in the signalling period signaled.

On a period boundary, getdeploymentinfo (and previously getblockchaininfo)
would report the status and statistics for the next block rather than
the current block. Change this to always report the status/statistics
of the current block, but add status-next to report the status for the
next block.
The previous diff touched most files in ./test/, so bump the headers to
avoid having to touch them again for a bump later.

Pull request description:
All softforks that are active at the tip of mainnet, should also be active from genesis in regtest. Otherwise their rules might not be enforced in user testing, thus making their testing less useful.
To still allow tests to check pre-softfork rules, a runtime argument can change the activation height.

222290f543 test: Set BIP34Height = 2 for regtest (MarcoFalke)
fac90c55be test: Create all blocks with version 4 or higher (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
BIP34 is active on the current tip of mainnet, so all miners must obey it. It would be nice if it also was active in fresh regtest instances from the earliest time possible.
I changed the BIP34 height to `2`, so that the block at height=1 may be used to mine a duplicate coinbase. (Needed to test mainnet behaviour)
This pull is done in two commits:
* test: Create all blocks with version 4 or higher:
Now that BIP34 is activated earlier, we need to create blocks with a higher version number. Just bump it to 4 instead of 2 to avoid having to bump it again later.
* test: Set BIP34Height = 2 for regtest:
This fixes the BIP34 implementation in the tests (to match the one of the Core codebase) and updates the tests where needed
