It contains the following changes that are crucial for the embedding of asmap data which is added the following PR in the series (probably this will remain in #28792). The changes are: - Modernizes and simplifies the asmap code by operating on `std::byte` instead of bits - Unifies asmap version calculation and naming (previously it was called version and checksum interchangeably) - Operate on a `span` rather than a vector in the asmap internal to prevent holding the asmap data in memory twice - Add more extensive documentation to the asmap implementation - Unify asmap casing in implemetation function names The first three commits were already part of #28792, the others are new. The documentation commit came out of feedback gathered at the latest CoreDev. The primary input for the documentation was the documentation that already existed in the Python implementation (`contrib/asmap/asmap.py`) but there are several other comments as well. Please note: I have also asked several LLMs to provide suggestions on how to explain pieces of the implementation and better demonstrate how the parts work together. I have copied bits and pieces that I liked but everything has been edited further by me and obviously all mistakes here are my own.

Tool to verify that every merge commit was signed by a developer using the github-merge.py script.
Linearize
Construct a linear, no-fork, best version of the blockchain.
Qos
A Linux bash script that will set up traffic control (tc) to limit the outgoing bandwidth for connections to the Bitcoin network. This means one can have an always-on bitcoind instance running, and another local bitcoind/bitcoin-qt instance which connects to this node and receives blocks from it.

UTXO Set Tools
UTXO-to-SQLite
This script converts a compact-serialized UTXO set (as generated by Bitcoin Core with dumptxoutset)
to a SQLite3 database. For more details like e.g. the created table name and schema, refer to the
module docstring on top of the script, which is also contained in the command's --help output.
