I could not create a block template above `3,992,000` in the block assembler, and this was not documented anywhere. It took me a while to realize that we were reserving space for the coinbase transaction weight twice. --- This PR fixes this by consolidating the reservation to be in a single location in the codebase. This PR then adds a new startup option `-blockreservedweight` whose default is `8000` that can be used to lower or increase the block reserved weight for block header, txs count, coinbase tx.

Bitcoin Core
Setup
Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires several hundred gigabytes or more of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to several days or more.
To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.
Running
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.
Unix
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
bin/bitcoin-qt(GUI) orbin/bitcoind(headless)
Windows
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.
macOS
Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
