Makes it friendlier for potential future users of the kernel library if
they do not store the headers in a std::vector, but can guarantee
contiguous memory.
fa899fb7aa fuzz: Speed up utxo_snapshot fuzz target (MarcoFalke)
fa386642b4 fuzz: Speed up utxo_snapshot by lazy re-init (MarcoFalke)
fa645c7a86 fuzz: Remove unused DataStream object (MarcoFalke)
fae8c73d9e test: Disallow fee_estimator construction in ChainTestingSetup (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Two commits to speed up unit and fuzz tests.
Can be tested by running the fuzz target and looking at the time it took, or by looking at the flamegraph. For example:
```
FUZZ=utxo_snapshot perf record -g --call-graph dwarf ./src/test/fuzz/fuzz -runs=100
hotspot ./perf.data

The re-init is expensive, so skip it if there is no need.
Also, add an even faster fuzz target utxo_snapshot_invalid, which does
not need any re-init at all.
Adds more testing options for creating an environment without networking
and a validation interface. This is useful for improving the performance
of the utxo snapshot fuzz test, which constructs a new TestingSetup on
each iteration.
Add the possibility of giving more guidance to the creation of the
metadata and/or coins, so that the fuzzer gets the chance
to reach more error conditions in ActivateSnapshot and sometimes
successfully creates a valid snapshot.
This also changes the asserts for the success case that were outdated,
and only didn't result in a crash because the fuzzer wasn't able
to reach this code before.
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.
The fs.* files are already part of the libbitcoin_util library. With the
introduction of the fs_helpers.* it makes sense to move fs.* into the
util/ directory as well.
In order to prevent memory DoS, we must ensure that we don't accept a new
header into memory until we've performed anti-DoS checks, such as verifying
that the header is part of a sufficiently high work chain. This commit adds a
new argument to AcceptBlockHeader() so that we can ensure that all call-sites
which might cause a new header to be accepted into memory have to grapple with
the question of whether the header is safe to accept, or needs further
validation.
This patch also fixes two places where low-difficulty-headers could have been
processed without such validation (processing an unrequested block from the
network, and processing a compact block).
Credit to Niklas Gögge for noticing this issue, and thanks to Sjors Provoost
for test code.
Warning: Replacing fs::system_complete calls with fs::absolute calls
in this commit may cause minor changes in behaviour because fs::absolute
no longer strips trailing slashes; however these changes are believed to
be safe.

11daf6ceb1 More Span simplifications (Pieter Wuille)
568dd2f839 Replace MakeSpan helper with Span deduction guide (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
C++17 supports [user-defined deduction guides](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/class_template_argument_deduction), allowing class constructors to be invoked without specifying class template arguments. Instead, the code can contain rules to infer the template arguments from the constructor argument types.
This alleviates the need for the `MakeSpan` helper. Convert the existing MakeSpan rules into deduction rules for `Span` itself, and replace all invocations of `MakeSpan` with just `Span` ones.
