d511adb664 [miner] omit dummy extraNonce via IPC (Sjors Provoost)
bf3b5d6d06 test: clarify getCoinbaseRawTx() comparison (Sjors Provoost)
78df9003d6 [doc] Update comments on dummy extraNonces in tests (Anthony Towns)
Pull request description:
This PR changes the Mining IPC interface to stop including a dummy `extraNonce` in the coinbase `scriptSig` by default, exposing only the consensus-required BIP34 height. This simplifies downstream mining software (including Stratum v2), avoids forcing clients to strip or ignore data we generate, and reduces the risk of incompatibilities if future soft forks add required commitments to the `scriptSig`.
Existing behavior is preserved for RPCs, tests, regtest, and internal mining by explicitly opting in to the dummy `extraNonce` where needed (e.g. to satisfy `bad-cb-length` at low heights), so consensus rules and test coverage are unchanged. The remainder of the PR consists of small comment fixes, naming clarifications, and test cleanups to make the intent and behavior clearer.

Code review ACK d511adb664. Just rebased since last review and make suggested tweaks. I'd really like to see this PR merged for the cleanups and sanity it brings to this code. Needs another reviewer though.

Previously the coinbase transaction generated by our miner code was
not used downstream, because the getblocktemplate RPC excludes it.
Since the Mining IPC interface was introduced in #30200 we do expose
this dummy coinbase transaction. In Stratum v2 several parts of it
are communicated downstream, including the scriptSig.
This commit removes the dummy extraNonce from the coinbase scriptSig
in block templates requested via IPC. This limits the scriptSig
to what is essential for consensus (BIP34) and removes the need for
external mining software to remove the dummy, or even ignore
the scriptSig we provide and generate it some other way. This
could cause problems if a future soft fork requires additional
data to be committed here.
A test is added to verify the new IPC behavior.
It achieves this by introducing an include_dummy_extranonce
option which defaults to false with all test code updated to
set it to true. Because this option is not exposed via IPC,
callers will no longer see it.
The caller needs to ensure that for blocks 1 through 16
they pad the scriptSig in order to avoid bad-cb-length.

Since #28280, the cost of a non-wiping sync of the UTXO cache is only proportional to the number of dirty entries, rather than proportional to the size of the entire cache. Because of that, there is no reason to perform a wiping flush in case the contents of the cache is still useful.
Split the FlushStateMode::ALWAYS mode into a FORCE_SYNC (non-wiping) and a FORCE_FLUSH (wiping), and then use the former in scantxoutset, gettxoutsetinfo, snapshot creation.

The std::move in coinstatsindex was not necessary since it was passed as a const reference argument.
The other change in the utxo supply fuzz test changes a line that seems to have triggered a false alarm.

fa7809aeab fuzz: Add missing SeedRandomStateForTest(SeedRand::ZEROS) (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
This is the first step toward improving fuzz stability and determinism (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/29018).
A fuzz target using the global test-only PRNG will now abort if the seed is re-used across fuzz inputs.
Also, temporarily add `SeedRandomStateForTest(SeedRand::ZEROS)` to all affected fuzz targets. This may slow down the libfuzzer leak detector, but it will disable itself after some time, or it can be disabled explicitly with `-detect_leaks=0`.
In a follow-up, each affected fuzz target can be stripped of the global random use and a local `RandomMixin` (or similar) can be added instead.
(Can be tested by removing any one of the re-seed calls and observing a fuzz abort)

This commit effectively moves the definition of these constants
out of the chainparamsbase to their own file.
Using the ChainType enums provides better type safety compared to
passing around strings.
The commit is part of an ongoing effort to decouple the libbitcoinkernel
library from the ArgsManager and other functionality that should not be
part of the kernel library.
