Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#25574: validation: Improve error handling when VerifyDB dosn't finish successfully 
0af16e7134 doc: add release note for #25574 (Martin Zumsande)
57ef2a4812 validation: report if pruning prevents completion of verification (Martin Zumsande)
0c7785bb25 init, validation: Improve handling if VerifyDB() fails due to insufficient dbcache (Martin Zumsande)
d6f781f1cf validation: return VerifyDBResult::INTERRUPTED if verification was interrupted (Martin Zumsande)
6360b5302d validation: Change return value of VerifyDB to enum type (Martin Zumsande)

Pull request description:

  `VerifyDB()` can fail to complete due to insufficient dbcache at the level 3 checks. This PR improves the error handling in this case in the following ways:
  - The rpc `-verifychain` now returns false if the check can't be completed due to insufficient cache
  - During init, we only log a warning if the default values for `-checkblocks` and `-checklevel` are taken and the check doesn't complete. However, if the user actively specifies one of these args, we return with an InitError if we can't complete the check.

  This PR also changes `-verifychain` RPC to return `false` if the verification didn't finish due to missing block data (pruning) or due to being interrupted by the node being shutdown.

  Previously, this PR also included a fix for a possible assert during verification - this was done in #27009 (now merged).

    Code review ACK 0af16e7134. Only small suggested changes since the last review, like renaming some of the enum values. I did leave more suggestions, but they are not very important and could be followups

Bitcoin Core

Setup

Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.

Running

The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.

Unix

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

  • bin/bitcoin-qt (GUI) or
  • bin/bitcoind (headless)

Windows

Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.

macOS

Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
