Wallet code should use interfaces::Chain and not directly access to node state.
Add a g_rpc_chain replacement global for wallet code to use, and move
g_rpc_node definition to a libbitcoin_server source file so there are link
errors if wallet code tries to access it.

Pull request description:
This hardcodes CSV and segwit activation heights, similar to the BIP 90 buried deployments for BIPs 34, 65 and 66.
CSV and segwit have been active for over 18 months. Hardcoding the activation height is a code simplification, makes it easier to understand segwit activation status, and reduces technical debt.
This was originally attempted by jl2012 in #11398 and again by me in #12360.
ACKs for top commit:
ajtowns:
ACK e78aaf41f4 ; checked diff to previous acked commit, checked tests still work
ariard:
ACK e78aaf4, check diff, run the tests again and successfully activated csv/segwit heights on mainnet as expected.
MarcoFalke:
ACK e78aaf41f4 (still didn't check if the mainnet block heights are correct, but the code looks good now)

This change encapsulates UTXO set data within CChainState instances, removing
global data `pcoinsTip` and `pcoinsviewdb`. This is necessary if we want to
maintain multiple chainstates with their own rendering of the UTXO set.
We introduce a class CoinsViews which consolidates the construction of a
CCoins* hierarchy. Construction of its various pieces (db, coinscatcher,
in-memory cache) is split up so that we avoid flushing bad state to disk if
startup is interrupted.
We also introduce `CChainState::CanFlushToDisk()` which tells us when it is
safe to flush the chainstate based on this partial construction.
This commit could be broken into smaller pieces, but it would require more
ephemeral diffs to, e.g., temporarily change CCoinsViewDB's constructor
invocations.
Other changes:
- A parameter has been added to the CCoinsViewDB constructor that allows the
name of the corresponding leveldb directory to be specified.
Thanks to Russell Yanofsky and Marco Falke for helpful feedback.
Though at the moment ChainActive() simply references `g_chainstate.m_chain`,
doing this change now clears the way for multiple chainstate usage and allows
us to script the diff.

This work is prerequisite to attaching thread names to log lines and deadlock
debug utilities. This code allows setting of an "internal" threadname per
thread on platforms where thread_local is available.
This commit also moves RenameThread() out of a more general module and adds a
numeric suffix to disambiguate between threads with the same name. It
explicitly names a few main threads using the new util::ThreadRename().
