Rather than having the rule change period/threshold be constant for all
potential deployments on a chain, have it be specific to the deployment
itself. This both matches history (BIP 9 specified a 2016 block period
and 1916 block threshold; BIP 91 specified a 336 block period and 269
block threshold; and BIP 341 specified a 2016 block period and 1815
block threshold), and allows the code to be simplified, as only the
BIP9Deployment structure is needed, not the full Consensus::Params
structure.
For an abstract class, specifying parameters in detail serves no point;
and for the concrete implementation, changing the consensus parameters
between invocations doesn't make sense. So simplify the class by removing
the consensus params from the method arguments, and just make it a member
variable in the concrete object where needed. This also allows dropping
dummy parameters from the unit/fuzz tests.
Add sanity asserts for return value of `CBlockIndex::GetAncestor()` where appropriate.
In validation.cpp `CheckSequenceLocks`, check the return value of `tip->GetAncestor(maxInputHeight)` stored into `lp->maxInputBlock`. If it ever returns `nullptr` because the ancestor isn't found, it's going to be a bad bug to keep going, since a `LockPoints` object with the `maxInputBlock` member set to `nullptr` signifies no relative lock time.
In the other places, the added asserts would prevent accidental dereferencing of a null pointer which is undefined behavior.

fd826130a0 rpc: move softfork info from getblockchaininfo to getdeploymentinfo (Anthony Towns)
Pull request description:
The aim of this PR is to improve the ability to monitor soft fork status. It first moves the softfork section from getblockchaininfo into a new RPC named getdeploymentinfo, which is then also able to query the status of forks at an arbitrary block rather than only at the tip. In addition, bip9 status is changed to indicate the status of the given block, rather than just for the next block, and an additional field is included to indicate whether each block in the signalling period signaled.

On a period boundary, getdeploymentinfo (and previously getblockchaininfo)
would report the status and statistics for the next block rather than
the current block. Change this to always report the status/statistics
of the current block, but add status-next to report the status for the
next block.
This removes the DEFINED->FAILED transition and changes the
STARTED->FAILED transition to only occur if signalling didn't pass the
threshold. This ensures that it is always possible for activation to
occur, no matter what settings are chosen, or the speed at which blocks
are found.
Previously we used deployments that would timeout prior to Bitcoin's
invention, which allowed the deployment to still be activated in unit
tests. This switches those deployments to be truly never active.

Segwit's version bit will be signalled for all invocations of CreateNewBlock,
and not specifying segwit only will cause CreateNewBlock to skip transactions
with witness from being selected.
