d831e711ca [validation] RewindBlockIndex no longer needed (Dhruv Mehta)
Pull request description:
Closes#17862
Context from [original comment](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/17862#issuecomment-744285188) (minor edits):
`RewindBlockIndex()` is a mechanism to allow nodes to be upgraded after segwit activation, while still keeping their chainstate/datadir in a consistent state. It works as follows:
- A pre-segwit (i.e. v0.13.0 or older) node is running.
- Segwit activates. The pre-segwit node remains sync'ed to the tip, but is not enforcing the new segwit rules.
- The user upgrades the node to a segwit-aware version (v0.13.1 or newer).
- On startup, in `AppInitMain()`, `RewindBlockIndex()` is called. This walks the chain backwards from the tip, disconnecting and erasing blocks that from after segwit activation that weren't validated with segwit rules.
- those blocks are then redownloaded (with witness data) and validated with segwit rules.
This logic probably isn't required any more since:
- Segwit activated at height 481824, when the block chain was 130GB and the total number of txs was 250 million. Today, we're at height 667704, the blockchain is over 315GB and the total number of txs is over 600 million. Even if 20% of that added data is witness data (a high estimate), then around 150GB of transactions would need to be rewound to get back to segwit activation height. It'd probably be faster to simply validate from genesis, especially since we won't be validating any scripts before the assumevalid block. It's also unclear whether rewinding 150GB of transactions would even work. It's certainly never been tested.
- Bitcoin Core v0.13 is hardly used any more. https://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/charts/software.html shows less than 50 nodes running it. The software was EOL on Aug 1st 2018. It's very unlikely that anyone is running 0.13 and will want to upgrade to 0.22.
This PR introduces `NeedsRedownload()` which merely checks for insufficiently validated segwit blocks and requests that the user restarts the node with `-reindex`. Reindexing the block files upon restart will make the node rebuild chain state and block index from the `blk*.dat` files on disk. The node won't be able to index the blocks with `BLOCK_OPT_WITNESS`, so they will be missing from the chain and be re-downloaded, with witness data.
Removing this code allows the following (done in follow-up #21090):
- removal of tests using `segwitheight=-1` in `p2p_segwit.py`.
- in turn, that allows us to drop support for `-segwitheight=-1`, which is only supported for that test.
- that allows us to always set `NODE_WITNESS` in our local services. The only reason we don't do that is to support `-segwitheight=-1`.
- that in turn allows us to drop all of the `GetLocalServices() & NODE_WITNESS` checks inside `net_processing.cpp`, since our local services would always include `NODE_WITNESS`

Pull request description:
This picks up the closed pull request #21030 and is the first step toward fixing #21220.
The basic idea is to move all disk access into a separate module with benefits:
* Breaking down the massive files init.cpp and validation.cpp into logical units
* Creating a standalone-module to reduce the mental complexity
* Pave the way to fix validation related circular dependencies
* Pave the way to mock disk access for testing, especially where it is performance critical (like fuzzing)

Code review ACK fadcd3f78e. New organization makes sense, moves extraneous things outside of validation.cpp. PR is also easy to review with helpfully split up moveonly commits.

Pull request description:
Maintaining the blockfilterindexes in prune mode is possible and may lead to efficient p2p based rescans of wallets (restore backups, import/sweep keys) beyond the prune height (rescans not part of that PR).
This PR allows running the blockfilterindex(es) in conjunction with pruning.
* Bitcoind/Qt will shutdown during startup when missing block data has been detected ([re]enable `-blockfilterindex` when we already have pruned)
* manual block pruning is disabled during blockfilterindex sync
* auto-pruning is delayed during blockfilterindex sync

* [x] Functional tests

Pull request description:
This is the first 4 commits of #20833, and does refactoring only. It should be relatively simple to review, and offers a few nice things:
- It makes accessing values that don't make sense (e.g. fee) when the tx is invalid an error.
- Returning `MempoolAcceptResult` from ATMP makes the interface cleaner. The caller can get a const instead of passing in a mutable "out" param.
- We don't have to be iterating through a bunch of lists for package validation, we can just return a `std::vector<MempoolAcceptResult>`.
- We don't have to refactor all ATMP call sites again if/when we want to return more stuff from it.

This creates a cleaner interface with ATMP, allows us to make results const,
and makes accessing values that don't make sense (e.g. fee when tx is
invalid) an error.
Since these chainstates are:
1. Also vulnerable to the race condition described in the previous
commit
2. Documented as having similar semantics as m_active_chainstate
we should also protect them with ::cs_main.
