Back when we implemented coin age priority as a miner policy, miners
mempools might admit transactions paying very low fees, but then want to
set a higher fee for block inclusion. However, since coin age priority
was removed in v0.15, the block assembly policy is solely based on fees,
so we do not need to apply minimum feerate rules in multiple places. In
fact, the block assembly policy ignoring transactions that are added to
the mempool is likely undesirable as we waste resources accepting and
storing this transaction.
Instead, rely on mempool policy to enforce a minimum entry feerate to
the mempool (minrelaytxfee). Set the minimum block feerate to the
minimum non-zero amount (1sat/kvB) so it collects everything it finds in
mempool into the block.
Github-Pull: #33106

Previously, `wait_for_getheaders` would check whether a node had received **any**
getheaders message. This implied that, if a test needed to check for a specific block
hash within a headers message, it had to make sure that it was checking the desired message.
This normally involved having to manually clear `last_message`. This method, apart from being
too verbose, was error prone, given an undesired `getheaders` would make tests pass.
This adds the ability to check for a specific block_hash within the last `getheaders` message.
Included a test that checks if we call submitblock with
block.vtx.empty() then it throws an rpc deserialization error, currently
we only test if !block.vtx->IsCoinBase() throws an rpc deserialization
error
The previous diff touched most files in ./test/, so bump the headers to
avoid having to touch them again for a bump later.

Use object returned from add_p2p_connection to refer to
p2ps. Add a test class attribute if it needs to be used across
many methods. Don't use the p2p property.
Migrates the CScriptNum decode tests into a unit test, and moved some
changes made in #14816. Made possible by the integration of
test_framework unit testing in #18576. Further extends the original
test with larger ints, similar to the scriptnum_tests.cpp file. Adds
test to blocktools.py testing fn create_coinbase() with CScriptNum
decode.
1abcecc40c Tests: Use self.chain instead of 'regtest' in almost all current tests (Jorge Timón)
Pull request description:
Simply avoiding the hardcoded string in more places for consistency.
It can also allow for more easily reusing tests for other chains other than regtest.
Separated from #8994 .
Continues #16509 .
It is still not complete (ie to be complete, we need the -chain parameter in #16680 and make whether acceptnonstdtxs is allowed for that chain or not customizable for regtest [or for custom chains like in #8994 ] ). But while being incomplete like #16509 , it's quite simple to review and another step forward IMO.
ACKs for top commit:
Sjors:
re-ACK 1abcecc. I think it's an improvement even if incomplete and if some PR's might accidentally bring "regtest" back. Subsequent improvements hopefully don't have to touch 16 files.

fa178a6385 [rpc] mining: Omit uninitialized currentblockweight, currentblocktx (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Previously we'd report "0", which could be mistaken for a valid number. E.g. the number of transactions is 0 or the block weight is 0, whatever that means.

Calling getblocktemplate without the segwit rule specified is most
likely a client error, since it results in lower fees for the miner.
Prevent this client error by failing getblocktemplate if called without
the segwit rule specified.
fa6ab8ada1 rpc: Return more specific reject reason for submitblock (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
The second commit in #13439 made the `TODO` in the first commit impossible to solve.
The meaning of `fNewBlock` changed from "This is the first time we process this block" to "We are about to write the new *valid* block".
So whenever `fNewBlock` is true, the block was valid. And whenever the `fNewBlock` is false, the block is either valid or invalid. If it was valid and not new, we know it is a `"duplicate"`. In all other cases, the `BIP22ValidationResult()` will return the reason why it is invalid.
