3c5d1a4681Remove checkpoints (marcofleon)632ae47372update comment on MinimumChainWork check (marcofleon) Pull request description: The headers presync logic (only downloading headers that lead to a chain with sufficient work, implemented in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25717) should be enough to prevent memory DoS using low-work headers. Therefore, we no longer have any use for checkpoints. All checkpoints and checkpoint logic are removed in a single commit, to make it easy to revert if necessary. Some previous discussion can be found in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25725. The conclusion at the time was that more testing of the presync logic was needed. Now that we have [unit](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/test/headers_sync_chainwork_tests.cpp), [functional](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/test/functional/p2p_headers_sync_with_minchainwork.py), and [fuzz](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/test/fuzz/p2p_headers_presync.cpp) tests for this logic, it seems safe to move forward with checkpoint removal.
