ee458d84fc187d69f002ebead6fccc4f4f9c0744 Add missing const to CAddrMan::Check_() (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
CAddrMan has internal consistency checks. Currently, these are only run when the program is compiled with the `DEBUG_ADDRMAN` option. This option is not enabled on any of our CI builds, and it's likely that no-one is running them at all.
This PR makes consistency checks a (hidden) runtime option that can be enabled with `-checkaddrman`, where `-checkaddrman=n` will result in the consistency checks running every n operations (similar to `-checkmempool=n`). We set the ratio to 1/100 for our unit tests, and leave it disabled by default for all networks. Additionally, a consistency check failure now asserts, rather than logging and continuing. This matches the behavior of CTxMemPool and TxRequestTracker, where a failed consistency check asserts.

ACK a4d78546b0858602c60c03fdf8b35ca666ab2e56 per `git diff 00fd089 a4d7854`, tested by adding logging similar to #22479 and running with `-checkaddrman=<n>` for various values 0/1/10/100 etc, tested the updated docs with `bitcoind -help-debug | grep -A2 "checkaddrman\|checkmempool"` and verified rebased on master that compiling with `CPPFLAGS="-DDEBUG_ADDRMAN"` no longer causes the build to error.

What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

License
Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
