This is preparation for the simulation fuzz test added in a later commit. Since
AddChildrenToWorkSet consumes randomness, there is no way for the simulator to
exactly predict its behavior. By returning the set of made-reconsiderable announcements
instead, the simulator can instead test that it is *a* valid choice, and then
apply it to its own data structures.
For the default number of peers (125), allows each to relay a default
descendant package (up to 25-1=24 can be missing inputs) of small (9
inputs or fewer) transactions out of order.
This limit also gives acceptable bounds for worst case LimitOrphans iterations.
Functional tests aren't changed to check for larger cap because it would
make the runtime too long.
Also deletes the now-unused DEFAULT_MAX_ORPHAN_TRANSACTIONS.
This is largely a reimplementation using boost::multi_index_container.
All the same public methods are available. It has an index by outpoint,
per-peer tracking, peer worksets, etc.
A few differences:
- Limits have changed: instead of a global limit of 100 unique orphans,
we have a maximum number of announcements (which can include duplicate
orphans) and a global memory limit which scales with the number of
peers.
- The maximum announcements limit is 100 to match the original limit,
but this is actually a stricter limit because the announcement count
is not de-duplicated.
- Eviction strategy: when global limits are reached, a per-peer limit
comes into play. While limits are exceeded, we choose the peer whose
“DoS score” (max usage / limit ratio for announcements and memory
limits) is highest and evict announcements by entry time, sorting
non-reconsiderable ones before reconsiderable ones. Since announcements
are unique by (wtxid, peer), as long as 1 announcement remains for a
transaction, it remains in the orphanage.
- This eviction strategy means no peer can influence the eviction of
another peer’s orphans.
- Also, since global limits are a multiple of per-peer limits, as long
as a peer does not exceed its limits, its orphans are protected from
eviction.
- Orphans no longer expire, since older announcements are generally
removed before newer ones.
- GetChildrenFromSamePeer returns the transactions from newest to
oldest.

Move towards a model where TxOrphanage is initialized with limits that
it remembers throughout its lifetime.
Remove the param. Limiting by number of unique orphans will be removed
in a later commit.
Now that -maxorphantx is gone, this does not change the node behavior.
The parameter is only used in tests.
Expiry is going away in a later commit.
This is only an RPC change. Behavior of the orphanage does not change.
Note that getorphantxs is marked experimental.
