Pull request description:
Add Cap'n Proto wrapper for the Mining interface introduced in #30200, and its associated types.
This PR combined with #30509 will allow a separate mining process, like the one being implemented in https://github.com/Sjors/bitcoin/pull/48, to connect to the node over IPC, and create, manage, and submit block templates. (#30437 shows another simpler demo of a process using the Mining interface.)

735436df8cebf28d4bcf0ad7e8f1fd7f19191001 Remove outdated Eclipser fuzzing documentation (Jon Atack)
Pull request description:
Remove the Eclipser fuzzing documentation from `doc/fuzzing.md`, as that repository (https://github.com/SoftSec-KAIST/Eclipser) hasn't been updated in several years, appears possibly unmaintained, and likely isn't being actively used for fuzzing Bitcoin Core.
These docs were originally added in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22585.

bb3b980dfd96d9a89e6b04aef2859ce0555c6807 validation: drop maximum -dbcache (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
Due to recent UTXO set growth, the current maximum value for `-dbcache` of 16GB is ~just months away from being~ insufficient (for those who wish to complete IBD with the UTXO set held in RAM).
This drops the limit. It also adds a warning that it's up to users to check that they have enough RAM.
Fixes#28249.
---
A previous version of this PR increased the maximum to 64GB. It also made startup abort if the value provided is too high, rather than quietly round it down. But this didn't get much support.

Pull request description:
Add three more cmake presets to the project-wide `CMakePresets.json` file:
* `dev-mode`: enables all features and dependencies
* `libfuzzer`: builds for fuzzing with libfuzzer and the typical sanitizers (but not the optional ones that require suppressions) enabled.
* `libfuzzer-nosan`: builds for fuzzing with libfuzzer and no (other) sanitizers
... and then uses these in some documentation.

598b9bba5aa95d0b5f78ab90ac491f742819047a rpc: Don't re-enable previously disabled network after dumptxoutset (Fabian Jahr)
Pull request description:
First, this addresses two left-over comments in #29553:
- When running `dumptxoutset` the network gets disabled in the beginning and then re-enabled at the end. The network would be re-enabled even if the user had already disabled the network themself before running `dumptxoutset`. The network is now not re-enabled anymore since that might not be what the user wants.
- The `-rpcclienttimeout=0` option is added to `loadtxoutset` examples in documentation
Additionally, pablomartin4btc notified me that he found his node stuck at the invalidated height after some late testing after #29553 was merged. We could not find the actual source of the issue since his logs got lost. However, it seems likely that some kind of disruption stopped the process before the node could roll forward again. We fixed this issue for network disablement with a RAII class previously and it seems logical that this can happen the same way for the rollback part so I suggest to also fix it the same way.
An example to reproduce the issue described above as I think it happened: Remove the `!` in the following line in `PrepareUTXOSnapshot()` to simulate an issue occurring during `GetUTXOStats()`.
```
if (!maybe_stats) {
```
This leaves the node in the following state on master:
```
$ build/src/bitcoin-cli -rpcclienttimeout=0 -named dumptxoutset utxo-859750.dat rollback=859750
error code: -32603
error message:

(Note that the first tip is `headers-only` and not `invalid` only because I started `dumptxoutset` before my node had fully synced to the tip. pablomartin4btc saw it as `invalid`.)

8888beea8d477b1d4a2dfd2a0bb5f686de62f3ff scripted-diff: fuzz: Rename fuzz_seed_corpus to fuzz_corpora (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Now that cmake was a breaking change for all fuzz scripts, it seems fine to bundle it with another breaking change to rename the fuzz corpora directory, as discussed and approved in https://github.com/bitcoin-core/qa-assets/issues/200:
* The word "seed" in the old name doesn't really apply. In reality it is a collection of fuzz input seeds, as well as fuzz inputs.
* The rename will also allow in the future (when there is a need and desire) to provide a minimal set of possibly hand-crafted or otherwise non-fuzz-generated fuzz seed inputs to some fuzz targets (and possibly store them in a separate folder and validate that their format is still accurate and matches the fuzz target code).
* Finally, "corpus" is renamed to corpora, to clarify that the folder holds the fuzz inputs for several fuzz targets.

Pull request description:
This adds a height parameter to the `dumptxoutset` RPC. This internalizes the workflow that was previously done by scripts: roll back the chain to the height we actually want the snapshot from, create the snapshot, roll forward to the real tip again.
The nice thing about internalizing this functionality is that we can write tests for the code and it gives us more options to make the functionality robust. The shell scripts we have so far will be more cumbersome to maintain in the long run, especially since we will only notice later when we have broken them. I think it's safe to remove these `test_utxo_snapshots.sh` as well when we have this option in `dumptxoutset` because we have also added some good additional functional test coverage for this functionality.

Some of these changes were in example outputs - I haven't validated that the outputs are still the same.

333341589010b1d9b21b68ae6649992fd2653756 scripted-diff: LogPrint -> LogDebug (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
`LogPrint` has many issues:
* It seems to indicate that something is being "printed", however config options such as `-printtoconsole` actually control what and where something is logged.
* It does not mention the log severity (debug).
* It is a deprecated alias for `LogDebug`, according to the dev notes.
* It wastes review cycles, because reviewers sometimes point out that it is deprecated.
* It makes the code inconsistent, when both are used, possibly even in lines right next to each other (like in `InitHTTPServer`)
Fix all issues by removing the deprecated alias.
I checked all conflicting pull requests and at the time of writing there are no conflicts, except in pull requests that are marked as draft, are yet unreviewed, or are blocked on feedback for other reasons. So I think it is fine to do now.

Pull request description:
It is convenient to have a descriptor which specifies both receiving and change addresses in a single string. However, as discussed in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/17190#issuecomment-895515768, it is not feasible to use a generic multipath specification like BIP 88 due to combinatorial blow up and that it would result in unexpected descriptors.
To resolve that problem, this PR proposes a targeted solution which allows only a single pair of 2 derivation indexes to be inserted in the place of a single derivation index. So instead of two descriptor `wpkh(xpub.../0/0/*)` and `wpkh(xpub.../0/1/*)` to represent receive and change addresses, this could be written as `wpkh(xpub.../0/<0;1>/*)`. The multipath specifier is of the form `<NUM;NUM>`. Each `NUM` can have its own hardened specifier, e.g. `<0;1h>` is valid. The multipath specifier can also only appear in one path index in the derivation path.
This results in the parser returning two descriptors. The first descriptor uses the first `NUM` in all pairs present, and the second uses the second `NUM`. In our implementation, if a multipath descriptor is not provided, a pair is still returned, but the second element is just `nullptr`.
The wallet will not output the multipath descriptors (yet). Furthermore, when a multipath descriptor is imported, it is expanded to the two descriptors and each imported on its own, with the second descriptor being implicitly for internal (change) addresses. There is no change to how the wallet stores or outputs descriptors (yet).
Note that the path specifier is different from what was proposed. It uses angle brackets and the semicolon because these are unused characters available in the character set and I wanted to avoid conflicts with characters already in use in descriptors.
Closes#17190
