- This commit renamed coinbase_max_additional_weight to block_reserved_weight.
- Also clarify that the reservation is for block header, transaction count
and coinbase transaction.
Providing a script for the coinbase transaction is only done in test code
and for CPU solo mining.
Production miners use the getblocktemplate RPC which omits the coinbase
transaction entirely from its block template, leaving it to external (pool)
software to construct it.
A coinbase script can still be passed via BlockCreateOptions instead.
A temporary overload is added so that the test can be modified in the
next commit.
When using `sendrawtransaction` the ALREADY_IN_CHAIN error help string
may be confusing.
Rename TransactionError::ALREADY_IN_CHAIN to
TransactionError::ALREADY_IN_UTXO_SET and update the rpc help string.
Remove backwards compatibility alias as no longer required.
When generating a block template through e.g. getblocktemplate RPC,
we reserve 4000 weight units and 400 sigops. Pools use this space
for their coinbase outputs.
At least one pool patched their Bitcoin Core node to adjust
these hardcoded values. They eventually produced an invalid
block which exceeded the sigops limit.
https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/117837/how-many-sigops-are-in-the-invalid-block-783426
The existince of such patches suggests it may be useful to
make this value configurable. This commit would make such a
change easier.
The main motivation however is that the Stratum v2 spec
requires the pool to communicate the maximum bytes they intend
to add to the coinbase outputs. A proposed change to the spec
would also require them to communicate the maximum number of sigops.
This commit also documents what happens when
-blockmaxweight is lower than the coinbase
reserved value.

Rather than pass options individually to createNewBlock and then
combining them into BlockAssembler::Options, this commit introduces
BlockCreateOptions and passes that instead.
Currently there's only one option (use_mempool) but the next
commit adds more.

Add TransactionError to node namespace and include it directly instead of
relying on indirect include through common/messages.h
This is a followup to a previous commit which moved the TransactionError enum.
These changes were done in a separate followup just to keep the previous commit
more minimal and easy to review.
Add separate PSBTError enum instead of reusing TransactionError enum for PSBT
operations, and drop unused error codes. The error codes returned by PSBT
operations and transaction broadcast functions mostly do not overlap, so using
an unified enum makes it harder to call any of these functions and know which
errors actually need to be handled.
Define PSBTError in the common library because PSBT functionality is
implemented in the common library and used by both the node (for rawtransaction
RPCs) and the wallet.
New node/types.h file is analagous to existing wallet/types.h and is a better
place to define simple node types that are shared externally with wallet and
gui code than the util library.
Motivation for this change is to completely remove util/error.h file currently
holding TransactionError in a followup commit.
