Pull request description:

  This is part of the [assumeutxo project](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/11):

  Parent PR: #15606
  Issue: #15605
  Specification: https://github.com/jamesob/assumeutxo-docs/tree/master/proposal

  ---

  This changeset defines the serialization format for UTXO snapshots and adds an RPC command for creating them, `dumptxoutset`. It also adds a convenience script for generating and verifying snapshots at a certain height, since that requires doing a hacky rewind of the chain via `invalidateblock`.

  All of this is unused at the moment.
