Pull request description:

  There are 2 proposed fixups in discussions in #23280 which I have not implemented:

  1. An overhaul to return types and an option type for the two `*Chainstate` functions: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/23280#issuecomment-984149564
      - The change reintroduces stringy return types and is quite involved. It could be discussed in a separate PR.
  2. Passing in the unix time to `VerifyChainstate` instead of a callback to get the time: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/23280#discussion_r765051533
      - I'm not sure it matters much whether it's a callback or just the actual unix time. Also, I think `VerifyDB` can take quite a while, and I don't want to impose that the function have to "run quickly" in order to have it be correct.

  If reviewers feel strongly about either of the two fixups listed above, please feel free to open a PR based on mine and I'll close this one!

Test library

This contains files for the test library, which is used by the test binaries (unit tests, benchmarks, fuzzers, gui tests).

Generally, the files in this folder should be well-separated modules. New code should be added to existing modules or (when in doubt) a new module should be created.

The utilities in here are compiled into a library, which does not hold any state. However, the main file setup_common defines the common test setup for all test binaries. The test binaries will handle the global state when they instantiate the BasicTestingSetup (or one of its derived classes).
