fa0dfdf447d5b84a1849dc823d8508463600136a refactor: Remove confusing BlockIndex global (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
The global `::BlockIndex()` is problematic for several reasons:
* It returns a mutable reference to the block tree, without the appropriate lock annotation (`m_block_index` is guarded by `cs_main`). The current code is fine, but in the future this might lead to accidental races and data corruption.
* The rpc server shouldn't rely on node globals, but rather a context that is passed in to the RPC method.
* Tests might want to spin up their own block tree, and thus should also not rely on a single global.
Fix all issues by removing the global
