1134686ef9 mempool: Don't share mempool with dbcache in blocksonly (willcl-ark)

Pull request description:

  Fixes #9526

  When `-blocksonly` has been set reduce default mempool size to avoid surprising resource usage via sharing un-used mempool cache space with dbcache.

  In comparison to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9569 which either set `maxmempool` size to 0 when `-blocksonly` was set or else errored on startup, this change will permit `maxmempool` options being set.

  This preserves the current (surprising?) behaviour of having a functional mempool in `-blocksonly` mode, to permit whitelisted peer transaction relay, whilst reducing average runtime memory usage for blocksonly nodes which either use the default settings or have otherwise configured a `maxmempool` size.

  To use the previous old defaults node operators can configure their node with: `-blocksonly -maxmempool=300`.
