Add a belt-and-suspenders feature, limit the amount of
memory and cpu possible when unlucky or simply misconfigured.
The worst case limit is roughly 400kB * 10,000 = 4GB, regardless
of usage pattern.
Before this change, sheer volume of broadcasts, mismatches in
standardness rules, or simply fee mismatches may result in unbounded
growth of memory usage. As the feature may be expanded in
the future, explicit bounds helps reasoning going forward.

src/node/
The src/node/ directory contains code that needs to access node state
(state in CChain, CBlockIndex, CCoinsView, CTxMemPool, and similar
classes).
Code in src/node/ is meant to be segregated from code in
src/wallet/ and src/qt/, to ensure wallet and GUI
code changes don't interfere with node operation, to allow wallet and GUI code
to run in separate processes, and to perhaps eventually allow wallet and GUI
code to be maintained in separate source repositories.
As a rule of thumb, code in one of the src/node/,
src/wallet/, or src/qt/ directories should avoid
calling code in the other directories directly, and only invoke it indirectly
through the more limited src/interfaces/ classes.
This directory is at the moment
sparsely populated. Eventually more substantial files like
src/validation.cpp and
src/txmempool.cpp might be moved there.
