/** Epoch: RAII-style guard for using epoch-based graph traversal algorithms.
* When walking ancestors or descendants, we generally want to avoid
* visiting the same transactions twice. Some traversal algorithms use
* std::set (or setEntries) to deduplicate the transaction we visit.
* However, use of std::set is algorithmically undesirable because it both
* adds an asymptotic factor of O(log n) to traversals cost and triggers O(n)
* more dynamic memory allocations.
* In many algorithms we can replace std::set with an internal mempool
* counter to track the time (or, "epoch") that we began a traversal, and
* check + update a per-transaction epoch for each transaction we look at to
* determine if that transaction has not yet been visited during the current
* traversal's epoch.
* Algorithms using std::set can be replaced on a one by one basis.
* Both techniques are not fundamentally incompatible across the codebase.
* Generally speaking, however, the remaining use of std::set for mempool
* traversal should be viewed as a TODO for replacement with an epoch based
* traversal, rather than a preference for std::set over epochs in that
* algorithm.
