Merge #19572: ZMQ: Create "sequence" notifier, enabling client-side mempool tracking
759d94e70fUpdate zmq notification documentation and sample consumer (Gregory Sanders)68c3c7e1bdAdd functional tests for zmq sequence topic and mempool sequence logic (Gregory Sanders)e76fc2b84dAdd 'sequence' zmq publisher to track all block (dis)connects, mempool deltas (Gregory Sanders)1b615e61bfzmq test: Actually make reorg occur (Gregory Sanders) Pull request description: This PR creates a new ZMQ notifier that gives a "total hash history" of block (dis)connection, mempool addition/substraction, all in one pipeline. It also exposes a "mempool sequence number" to both this notifier and `getrawmempool` results, which allows the consumer to use the results together without confusion about ordering of results and without excessive `getrawmempool` polling. See the functional test `interfaces_zmq.py::test_mempool_sync` which shows the proposed user flow for the client-side tracking of mempool contents and confirmations. Inspired by https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19462#issuecomment-656140421 Alternative to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19462 due to noted deficiencies in current zmq notification streams. Also fixes a legacy zmq test that didn't actually trigger a reorg because of identical blocks being generated on each side of the split(oops) ACKs for top commit: laanwj: Code review ACK759d94e70fTree-SHA512: 9daf0d7d996190f3a68ff40340a687519323d7a6c51dcb26be457fbc013217ea7b62fbd0700b74b654433d2e370704feb61e5584399290692464fcfcb72ce3b7

There are several possibilities that ZMQ notification can get lost

using. Bitcoind appends an up-counting sequence number to each

notification which allows listeners to detect lost notifications.

The `sequence` topic refers specifically to the mempool sequence

number, which is also published along with all mempool events. This
|

is a different sequence value than in ZMQ itself in order to allow a total

||||
ordering of mempool events to be constructed.
