Pull request description:

  The goal of this PR is to establish that fatal blockstorage flush errors should be treated as errors at their call site.

  Prior to this patch `FlushBlockFile` may have failed without returning in `Chainstate::FlushStateToDisk`, leading to a potential write from `WriteBlockIndexDB` that may refer to a block that is not fully flushed to disk yet. By returning if either `FlushUndoFile` or `FlushBlockFile` fail, we ensure that no further write operations take place that may lead to an inconsistent database when crashing. Add `[[nodiscard]]` annotations to them such that they are not ignored in future.

  Functions that call either `FlushUndoFile` or `FlushBlockFile`, need to handle these extra abort cases properly. Since `Chainstate::FlushStateToDisk` already produces an abort error in case of `WriteBlockIndexDB` failing, no extra logic for functions calling `Chainstate::FlushStateToDisk` is required.

  Besides `Chainstate::FlushStateToDisk`, `FlushBlockFile` is also called by `FindBlockPos`, while `FlushUndoFile` is only called by `FlushBlockFile` and `WriteUndoDataForBlock`. For both these cases, the flush error is not further bubbled up. Instead, the error is logged and a comment is provided why bubbling up an error would be less desirable in these cases.

  This pull request is part of a larger effort towards improving the shutdown / abort / fatal error handling in validation code. It is a first step towards implementing proper fatal error return type enforcement similar as proposed by theuni in this pull request [comment](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27711#issuecomment-1563561502). For ease of review of these critical changes, a first step would be checking that `AbortNode` leads to early and error-conveying returns at its call site. Further work for enforcing returns when `AbortNode` is called is done in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27862.

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree

https://bitcoincore.org

For an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/.

What is Bitcoin Core?

Bitcoin Core connects to the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network to download and fully validate blocks and transactions. It also includes a wallet and graphical user interface, which can be optionally built.

Further information about Bitcoin Core is available in the doc folder.

License

Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
