Pull request description:

  Performance of block template building matters as miners likely want to be able to start mining on a block with transactions asap after a block is found. We would want to know if a mempool PR accidentally caused, for example, a 100x slowdown. An `AssembleBlock()` bench exists, but it operates on a mempool with 101 transactions, each with 0 ancestors or descendants and with the same fee. Adding a bench with a more complex mempool is useful because (1) it's more realistic (2) updating packages can potentially cause the algorithm to take a long time.

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).
