Pull request description:

  The Consensus Cleanup soft fork proposal includes enforcing that coinbase transactions set their
  nLockTime field to the block height minus 1, as well as their nSequence such as to not disable the
  timelock. If such a fork were to be activated by Bitcoin users, miners need to be ready to produce
  compliant blocks at the risk of losing substantial amounts mining would-be invalid blocks. As miners
  are unfamously slow to upgrade, it's good to make this change as early as possible.

  Although Bitcoin Core's GBT implementation does not provide the `coinbasetxn` field, and mining
  pool software crafts the coinbase on its own, updating the Bitcoin Core mining code is a first step
  toward convincing pools to update their (often closed source) code. A possible followup is also to
  introduce new fields to GBT. In addition, this first step also makes it possible to test future
  Consensus Cleanup changes.

  The commit making the change also updates a bunch of seemingly-unrelated tests. This is because those tests were asserting error messages based on the txid of transactions involved, and changing the coinbase transaction structure necessarily changes the txid of all tests' transactions.

src/node/

The src/node/ directory contains code that needs to access node state (state in CChain, CBlockIndex, CCoinsView, CTxMemPool, and similar classes).

Code in src/node/ is meant to be segregated from code in src/wallet/ and src/qt/, to ensure wallet and GUI code changes don't interfere with node operation, to allow wallet and GUI code to run in separate processes, and to perhaps eventually allow wallet and GUI code to be maintained in separate source repositories.

As a rule of thumb, code in one of the src/node/, src/wallet/, or src/qt/ directories should avoid calling code in the other directories directly, and only invoke it indirectly through the more limited src/interfaces/ classes.

This directory is at the moment sparsely populated. Eventually more substantial files like src/validation.cpp and src/txmempool.cpp might be moved there.
