Also:
- Make DEFAULT_MAX_SIG_CACHE_SIZE into constexpr
DEFAULT_MAX_SIG_CACHE_BYTES to utilize the compile-time integer
arithmetic overflow checking available to constexpr.
- Fix comment (MiB instead of MB) for DEFAULT_MAX_SIG_CACHE_BYTES.
- Pass in max_size_bytes parameter to InitS*Cache(), modify log line to
no longer allude to maxsigcachesize being split evenly between the two
validation caches.
- Fix possible integer truncation and add a comment.
[META] I've kept the integer types as int64_t in order to not introduce
unintended behaviour changes, in the next commit we will make
them size_t.
Returning the approximate total size eliminates the need for
InitS*Cache() to do nElems*sizeof(uint256). The cuckoocache has a better
idea of this information.
...instead of explicitly calling init::{Set,Unset}Globals.
Cool thing about this is that in both the testing and bitcoin-chainstate
codepaths, we no longer need to explicitly unset globals. The
kernel::Context goes out of scope and the globals are unset
"automatically".
Also construct kernel::Context outside of AppInitSanityChecks()
This decouples validation.cpp from netaddress.cpp (transitively,
timedata.cpp, and asmap.cpp).
This is important for libbitcoinkernel as:
- There is no reason for the consensus engine to be coupled with
netaddress, timedata, and asmap
- Users of libbitcoinkernel can now easily supply their own
std::function that provides the adjusted time.
See the src/Makefile.am changes for some satisfying removals.
[META] Although it seems like we don't need it for just one option,
we're going to introduce another member to this struct *in the
next commit*. In future patchsets for libbitcoinkernel decoupling
it from ArgsManager, even more members will be added here.

Pull request description:
Part of: #24303
This PR introduces a `libbitcoinkernel` static library linking in the minimal list of files necessary to use our consensus engine as-is. `bitcoin-chainstate` introduced in #24304 now will link against `libbitcoinkernel`.
Most of the changes are related to the build system.
Please read the commit messages for more details.

In previous commits in this patchset, we've made sure that every
Unload/UnloadBlockIndex member function resets its own members, and does
not reach out to globals.
This means that their corresponding classes' default destructors can now
replace them, and do an even more thorough job without the need to be
updated for every new member variable.
Therefore, we can remove them, and also remove UnloadBlockIndex since
that's not used anymore.
Unfortunately, chainstatemanager_loadblockindex relies on
CChainState::UnloadBlockIndex, so that needs to stay for now.
[META] This is done in preparation for extracting libbitcoinkernel in a
following commit. It seems logical that generally users of a
library shouldn't need to export its own symbols to use the
library.
The bitcoin-chainstate executable serves to surface the dependencies
required by a program wishing to use Bitcoin Core's consensus engine as
it is right now.
More broadly, the _SOURCES list serves as a guiding "North Star" for the
libbitcoinkernel project: as we decouple more and more modules of the
codebase from our consensus engine, this _SOURCES list will grow shorter
and shorter. One day, only what is critical to our consensus engine will
remain. Right now, it's "the minimal list of files to link in to even
use our consensus engine".
[META] In a future commit the libbitcoinkernel library will be extracted
from bitcoin-chainstate, and the libbitcoinkernel library's
_SOURCES list will be the list that we aim to shrink.
