I somehow often type `-netinfo 5` which gets treated as `-netinfo 0`, after this change it's `-netinfo 4` which seems more convenient behavior.

Some miscellaneous improvements that came up when working on #21061
- The first commit is a helper to make valid mempool transactions & submit via ATMP. Introducing in this PR, using in #21061.
- The second commit is a small improvement in `miner_tests.cpp` that uses `BOOST_REQUIRE_EQUAL` to properly terminate the program instead of segfaulting in the failure scenario where the blocks do not include the expected number of transactions.
- The third commit changes the function signature of `GetMockTime()` to return a chrono type.
- The fourth & fifth commit overload `SetMockTime` to also accept chrono type, and adds documentation to indicate that the `int64_t` function signature is deprecated.

Pull request description:
This is part of the [assumeutxo project](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/11):
Parent PR: #15606
Issue: #15605
Specification: https://github.com/jamesob/assumeutxo-docs/tree/master/proposal
---
This change proposes logic for activating UTXO snapshots, which is unused at the moment aside from an included unittest. There are a few moveonyish/refactoring commits to allow for halfway decent unittests.
Basic structure is included for specifying and checking the assumeutxo hash values used to validate activated snapshots. Initially I had specified a few height/hash pairs for mainnet in this change, but because of the security-critical nature of those parameters, I figured it was better to leave their inclusion to a future PR that includes only that change - my intent being that reviewers will be more likely to verify those parameters firsthand in a dedicated PR.
Aside from that and the snapshot activation logic, there are a few related changes:
- ~~allow caching the `nChainTx` value in the CCoinsViewDB; this is set during snapshot activation. Because we don't necessarily have access to the full chain at the time of snapshot load, this value is communicated through the snapshot metadata and must be cached within the chainstate to survive restarts.~~
- break out `CreateUTXOSnapshot()` from dumptxoutset. This is essentially a move-only change to allow the reuse of snapshot creation logic from within unittests.
- ...and a few other misc. changes that are solely related to unittests.
The move-onlyish commit is most easily reviewed with `--color-moved=zebra`.

We can't support a reset of the dbwrapper object when in-memory configuration is used
because it results in the permanent loss of coins. This only affects unittest
configurations (since that's the only place we use in-memory CCoinsViewDB instances).
Values for mainnet and testnet will be specified in a follow-up PR that can be
scrutinized accordingly. This structure is required for use in snapshot activation
logic.
fe3e993968 [p2p] No delay in adding fixed seeds if -dnsseed=0 and peers.dat is empty. Add -fixedseeds arg. (Dhruv Mehta)
Pull request description:
Closes#19795
Before PR: If `peers.dat` is empty and `-dnsseed=0`, bitcoind will fallback on to fixed seeds but only after a 60 seconds delay.
After PR: There's no 60 second delay.
To reproduce:
`rm ~/.bitcoin/peers.dat && src/bitcoind -dnsseed=0` without and with patch code
Other changes in the PR:
- `-fixedseeds` command line argument added: `-dnsseed=0 -fixedseeds=0 -addnode=X` provides a trusted peer only setup. `-dnsseed=0 -fixedseeds=0` allows for a `addnode` RPC to add a trusted peer without falling back to hardcoded seeds.

Pull request description:
This replaces `boost::shared_mutex` and `boost::unique_lock` with [`std::shared_mutex`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/shared_mutex) & [`std::unique_lock`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/unique_lock).
Even though [some concerns were raised](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16684#issuecomment-726214696) in #16684 with regard to `std::shared_mutex` being unsafe to use across some glibc versions, I still think this change is an improvement. As I mentioned in #21022, I also think trying to restrict standard library feature usage based on bugs in glibc is not only hard to do, but it's not currently clear exactly how we do that in practice (does it also extend to patching out use in our dependencies, should we be implementing more runtime checks for features we are using, when do we consider an affected glibc "old enough" not to worry about? etc). If you take a look through the [glibc bug tracker](https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/describecomponents.cgi?product=glibc) you'll no doubt find plenty of (active) bug reports for standard library code we already using. Obviously not to say we shouldn't try and avoid buggy code where possible.
Two other points:
[Cory mentioned in #21022](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21022#issuecomment-769274179):
> It also seems reasonable to me to worry that boost hits the same underlying glibc bug, and we've just not happened to trigger the right conditions yet.
Moving away from Boost to the standard library also removes the potential for differences related to Boosts configuration. Boost has multiple versions of `shared_mutex`, and what you end up using, and what it's backed by depends on:
* The version of Boost.
* The platform you're building for.
* Which version of `BOOST_THREAD_VERSION` is defined: (2,3,4 or 5) default=2. (see [here](https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_70_0/doc/html/thread/build.html#thread.build.configuration) for some of the differences).
* Is `BOOST_THREAD_V2_SHARED_MUTEX` defined? (not by default). If so, you might get the ["less performant, but more robust"](https://github.com/boostorg/thread/issues/230#issuecomment-475937761) version of `shared_mutex`.
A lot of these factors are eliminated by our use of depends, but users will have varying configurations. It's also not inconceivable to think that a distro, or some package manager might start defining something like `BOOST_THREAD_VERSION=3`. Boost tried to change the default from 2 to 3 at one point.
With this change, we no longer use Boost Thread, so this PR also removes it from depends, the build system, CI etc.
Previous similar PRs were #19183 & #20922. The authors are included in the commits here.

Pull request description:
Darwin targets do not have a `protected` visibility function attribute, see [LLVM explanation](8e9a505139/clang/lib/Basic/Targets/OSTargets.h (L131)). This means that the `AX_GCC_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE` check for `visibility` fails:
```bash
configure:24513: checking for __attribute__((visibility))
configure:24537: g++ -std=c++11 -o conftest -g -O2 -DHAVE_BUILD_INFO -D__STDC_FORMAT_MACROS -DMAC_OSX -DOBJC_OLD_DISPATCH_PROTOTYPES=0 -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names conftest.cpp >&5
conftest.cpp:35:56: warning: target does not support 'protected' visibility; using 'default' [-Wunsupported-visibility]
int foo_pro( void ) __attribute__((visibility("protected")));
^
1 warning generated.
configure:24537: $? = 0
configure:24550: result: no
```
This leads to `EXPORT_SYMBOL` being [defined to nothing](f4de89edfa/src/script/bitcoinconsensus.h (L29)), as `HAVE_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE_VISIBILITY` is not defined, and when building with reduced exports, you end up with a libbitcoinconsensus.dylib that doesn't export any `_bitcoinconsensus_*` symbols.
```bash
➜ git:(master) nm -C src/.libs/libbitcoinconsensus.dylib | rg _bitcoinconsensus_
➜ git:(master)
```
We do have a [second check](f4de89edfa/configure.ac (L882)) for the `visibility` attribute, which works for Darwin as it's only testing for default visibility, however the result of this check isn't used at all. It was added in #4725, along with the `--enable-reduce-exports` option, however when libbitcoinconsensus was added in #5235, it used the results of the added `AX_GCC_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE` calls.
This PR removes our usage of the AX_GCC_FUNC_ATTRIBUTE macro entirely, in favour of our own checks in configure. This meant adding a check for `dllexport`, which I've tested as working with both [GCC](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Microsoft-Windows-Function-Attributes.html) and [Clang](https://releases.llvm.org/10.0.0/tools/clang/docs/AttributeReference.html#dllexport) when building for Windows. I haven't added an equivalent check for `dllimport`, as we weren't actually using the result of that check, we're just testing that `MSC_VER` was defined before using.
With these changes building a libbitcoinconsensus with reduced exports, when targeting Darwin, works as expected:
```bash
./autogen.sh
./configure --disable-tests --disable-bench --with-utils=no --with-daemon=no --with-gui=no --disable-wallet --with-libs=yes --enable-reduce-exports

Code review ACK e987ae5a55. Looks very good. I left one suggestion to simplify code, but feel free to ignore it here and maybe consider it for later since PR has already had a lot of review.

which was introduced in #20788.
We are already testing for this, and our test works correctly with a Darwin
target, where the macro does not. Darwin targets do not support "protected"
visibility.

Pull request description:
Move `Pre-allocating up to position 0x[…] in […].dat` log message to debug category.
After the cleanup of `-debug=net` log messages PR (#20724) was merged recently the console log now has very high signal to noise ratio. That's great! :)
This PR increases the signal to noise ratio slightly more by moving the most common remaining implementation detail log message (`Pre-allocating up to position 0x[…] in […].dat`) to the debug category where it belongs :)

I find the latter alternative much easier to visually scan for anomalies (and more aesthetically pleasing TBH!).
Non-GUI users deserve nice interfaces too :)
