Transaction hashes are cached, it may not be intuitive that their sizes are actually recalculated every time.
This is done before the other refactors to clarify why we want to avoid calling this method;

To improve privacy, broadcast locally submitted transactions (from the `sendrawtransaction` RPC) to the P2P network only via Tor or I2P short-lived connections, or to IPv4/IPv6 peers but through the Tor network.
* Introduce a new connection type for private broadcast of transactions with the following properties:
* started whenever there are local transactions to be sent
* opened to Tor or I2P peers or IPv4/IPv6 via the Tor proxy
* opened regardless of max connections limits
* after handshake is completed one local transaction is pushed to the peer, `PING` is sent and after receiving `PONG` the connection is closed
* ignore all incoming messages after handshake is completed (except `PONG`)
* Broadcast transactions submitted via `sendrawtransaction` using this new mechanism, to a few peers. Keep doing this until we receive back this transaction from one of our ordinary peers (this takes about 1 second on mainnet).
* The transaction is stored in peerman and does not enter the mempool.
* Once we get an `INV` from one of our ordinary peers, then the normal flow executes: we request the transaction with `GETDATA`, receive it with a `TX` message, put it in our mempool and broadcast it to all our existent connections (as if we see it for the first time).
* After we receive the full transaction as a `TX` message, in reply to our `GETDATA` request, only then consider the transaction has propagated through the network and remove it from the storage in peerman, ending the private broadcast attempts.
The messages exchange should look like this:
```
tx-sender >--- connect -------> tx-recipient
tx-sender >--- VERSION -------> tx-recipient (dummy VERSION with no revealing data)
tx-sender <--- VERSION -------< tx-recipient
tx-sender <--- WTXIDRELAY ----< tx-recipient (maybe)
tx-sender <--- SENDADDRV2 ----< tx-recipient (maybe)
tx-sender <--- SENDTXRCNCL ---< tx-recipient (maybe)
tx-sender <--- VERACK --------< tx-recipient
tx-sender >--- VERACK --------> tx-recipient
tx-sender >--- INV/TX --------> tx-recipient
tx-sender <--- GETDATA/TX ----< tx-recipient
tx-sender >--- TX ------------> tx-recipient
tx-sender >--- PING ----------> tx-recipient
tx-sender <--- PONG ----------< tx-recipient
tx-sender disconnects
```
Whenever a new transaction is received from `sendrawtransaction` RPC, the node will send it to a few (`NUM_PRIVATE_BROADCAST_PER_TX`) recipients right away. If after some time we still have not heard anything about the transaction from the network, then it will be sent to 1 more peer (see `PeerManagerImpl::ReattemptPrivateBroadcast()`).
A few considerations:
* The short-lived private broadcast connections are very cheap and fast wrt network traffic. It is expected that some of those peers could blackhole the transaction. Just one honest/proper peer is enough for successful propagation.
* The peers that receive the transaction could deduce that this is initial transaction broadcast from the transaction originator. This is ok, they can't identify the sender.

<summary>How to test this?</summary>
Thank you, @stratospher and @andrewtoth!
Start `bitcoind` with `-privatebroadcast=1 -debug=privatebroadcast`.
Create a wallet and get a new address, go to the Signet faucet and request some coins to that address:
```bash
build/bin/bitcoin-cli -chain="signet" createwallet test
build/bin/bitcoin-cli -chain="signet" getnewaddress
```
Get a new address for the test transaction recipient:
```bash
build/bin/bitcoin-cli -chain="signet" loadwallet test
new_address=$(build/bin/bitcoin-cli -chain="signet" getnewaddress)
```
Create the transaction:
```bash
# Option 1: `createrawtransaction` and `signrawtransactionwithwallet`:
txid=$(build/bin/bitcoin-cli -chain="signet" listunspent | jq -r '.[0] | .txid')
vout=$(build/bin/bitcoin-cli -chain="signet" listunspent | jq -r '.[0] | .vout')
echo "txid: $txid"
echo "vout: $vout"
tx=$(build/bin/bitcoin-cli -chain="signet" createrawtransaction "[{\"txid\": \"$txid\", \"vout\": $vout}]" "[{\"$new_address\": 0.00001000}]" 0 false)
echo "tx: $tx"
signed_tx=$(build/bin/bitcoin-cli -chain="signet" signrawtransactionwithwallet "$tx" | jq -r '.hex')
echo "signed_tx: $signed_tx"
# OR Option 2: `walletcreatefundedpsbt` and `walletprocesspsbt`:
# This makes it not have to worry about inputs and also automatically sends back change to the wallet.
# Start `bitcoind` with `-fallbackfee=0.00003000` for instance for 3 sat/vbyte fee.
psbt=$(build/bin/bitcoin-cli -chain="signet" walletcreatefundedpsbt "[]" "[{\"$new_address\": 0.00001000}]" | jq -r '.psbt')
echo "psbt: $psbt"
signed_tx=$(build/bin/bitcoin-cli -chain="signet" walletprocesspsbt "$psbt" | jq -r '.hex')
echo "signed_tx: $signed_tx"
```
Finally, send the transaction:
```bash
raw_tx=$(build/bin/bitcoin-cli -chain="signet" sendrawtransaction "$signed_tx")
echo "raw_tx: $raw_tx"
```

Further extensions:
* Have the wallet do the private broadcast as well, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/11887 would have to be resolved.
* Have the `submitpackage` RPC do the private broadcast as well, [draft diff in the comment below](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29415#pullrequestreview-2972293733), thanks ismaelsadeeq!
* Add some stats via RPC, so that the user can better monitor what is going on during and after the broadcast. Currently this can be done via the debug log, but that is not convenient.
* Make the private broadcast storage, currently in peerman, persistent over node restarts.
* Add (optional) random delay before starting to broadcast the transaction in order to avoid correlating unrelated transactions based on the time when they were broadcast. Suggested independently of this PR [here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/30471).
* Consider periodically sending transactions that did not originate from the node as decoy, discussed [here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29415#discussion_r2035414972).
* Consider waiting for peer's FEEFILTER message and if the transaction that was sent to the peer is below that threshold, then assume the peer is going to drop it. Then use this knowledge to retry more aggressively with another peer, instead of the current 10 min. See [comment below](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29415#issuecomment-3258611648).
* It may make sense to be able to override the default policy -- eg so submitrawtransaction can go straight to the mempool and relay, even if txs are normally privately relayed. See [comment below](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29415#issuecomment-3427086681).
* As a side effect we have a new metric available - the time it takes for a transaction to reach a random node in the network (from the point of view of the private broadcast recipient the tx originator is a random node somewhere in the network). This can be useful for monitoring, unrelated to privacy characteristics of this feature.

_A previous incarnation of this can be found at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27509. It puts the transaction in the mempool and (tries to) hide it from the outside observers. This turned out to be too error prone or maybe even impossible._

fab1f4b800d007bd4756b2519c64e1506ffe0d6c rpc: [mempool] Remove erroneous Univalue integral casts (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Casting without reason can only be confusing (because it is not needed), or wrong (because it does the wrong thing).
For example, the added test that adds a positive chunk prioritization will fail:
```
AssertionError: not(-1.94936096 == 41.000312)
```
Fix all issues by removing the erroneous casts, and by adding a test to check against regressions.

fa66e2d07a4b87d62382a54acf5fab6af77be24e refactor: [rpc] Remove confusing and brittle integral casts (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
When constructing an UniValue from integral values, historically (long ago), in some cases casts where needed. With the current UniValue constructor, only very few are actually needed.
Keeping the unused casts around is:
* confusing, because code readers do not understand why they are needed
* brittle, because some may copy them into new places, where they will lead to hard-to-find logic bugs, such as the ones fixed in pull https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/34112
So fix all issues by removing them, except for a few cases, where casting was required:
* `ret.pushKV("coinbase", static_cast<bool>(coin->fCoinBase));`, or
* `static_cast<std::underlying_type_t<decltype(info.nServices)>>(info.nServices)`.
This hardening refactor does not fix any bugs and does not change any behavior.

Pull request description:
[Reopening #28676 here as a new PR, because GitHub is slow to load the page making it hard to scroll through and see comments. Also, that PR was originally opened with a prototype implementation which has changed significantly with the introduction of `TxGraph`.]
This is an implementation of the [cluster mempool proposal](https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/an-overview-of-the-cluster-mempool-proposal/393).
This branch implements the following observable behavior changes:
- Maintains a partitioning of the mempool into connected clusters (via the `txgraph` class), which are limited in vsize to 101 kvB by default, and limited in count to 64 by default.
- Each cluster is sorted ("linearized") to try to optimize for selecting highest-feerate-subsets of a cluster first
- Transaction selection for mining is updated to use the cluster linearizations, selecting highest feerate "chunks" first for inclusion in a block template.
- Mempool eviction is updated to use the cluster linearizations, selecting lowest feerate "chunks" first for removal.
- The RBF rules are updated to: (a) drop the requirement that no new inputs are introduced; (b) change the feerate requirement to instead check that the feerate diagram of the mempool will strictly improve; (c) replace the direct conflicts limit with a directly-conflicting-clusters limit.
- The CPFP carveout rule is eliminated (it doesn't make sense in a cluster-limited mempool)
- The ancestor and descendant limits are no longer enforced.
- New cluster count/cluster vsize limits are now enforced instead.
- Transaction relay now uses chunk feerate comparisons to determine the order that newly received transactions are announced to peers.
Additionally, the cached ancestor and descendant data are dropped from the mempool, along with the multi_index indices that were maintained to sort the mempool by ancestor and descendant feerates. For compatibility (eg with wallet behavior or RPCs exposing this), this information is now calculated dynamically instead.

Now that ancestor calculation never fails (due to ancestor/descendant limits
being eliminated), we can eliminate the error handling from
CalculateMemPoolAncestors.

Pull request description:
The `RPCHelpMan::{Arg,MaybeArg}` helpers avoid copying (potentially) large strings by returning them as `const std::string*` (`MaybeArg`) or `const std::string&` (`Arg`). For `MaybeArg`, this has the not-so-nice effect that users need to deal with raw pointers, potentially also requiring new functions (e.g. [`EnsureUniqueWalletName` ](d127b25199 (diff-d8bfcfbdd5fa7d5c52d38c1fe5eeac9ce5c5a794cdfaf683585140fa70a32374R32))) with raw pointers being implemented.
This PR aims to improve on this by returning a trivially copyable `std::string_view` (`Arg`) or `std::optional<std::string_view>` (`MaybeArg`), modernizing the interface without introducing any additional copying overhead. In doing so, it also generalizes whether we return by value or by pointer/reference using `std::is_trivially_copyable_v` instead of defining the types manually.
In cases where functions currently take a `const std::string&` and it would be too much work / touching consensus logic to update them (`signmessage.cpp`), a `std::string` copy is made (which was already happening anyway).
The last 2 commits increase usage of the `{Arg,MaybeArg}<std::string_view>` helpers, and could be dropped/pruned if anything turns out to be controversial - I just think it's a nice little cleanup.

Use the {Arg,MaybeArg}<std::string_view> helper in all places where
it is a trivial change. In many places, this simplifies the logic
and reduces duplication of default values.
When submitpackage produced no per-transaction result for a member,
the RPC previously set "error": "unevaluated" but then continued
without inserting the entry into tx-results, making it impossible for
callers to know which wtxids were unevaluated.
Insert the placeholder result before continuing, update help text, and
adjust functional tests to expect entries for all submitted wtxids.

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.
This allows adding a GetIter(const Wtxid&) overload in a next
commit, making it easier to visit this function from a variant.

Pull request description:
Part of #27463.
(Transaction) **orphan resolution** is a process that kicks off when we are missing UTXOs to validate an unconfirmed transaction. We currently request missing parents by txid; BIP 331 also defines a way to [explicitly request ancestors](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0331.mediawiki#handle-orphans-better).
Currently, when we find that a transaction is an orphan, we only try to resolve it with the peer who provided the `tx`. If this doesn't work out (e.g. they send a `notfound` or don't respond), we do not try again. We actually can't, because we've already forgotten who else could resolve this orphan (i.e. all the other peers who announced the transaction).
What is wrong with this? It makes transaction download less reliable, particularly for 1p1c packages which must go through orphan resolution in order to be downloaded.
Can we fix this with BIP 331 / is this "duct tape" before the real solution?
BIP 331 (receiver-initiated ancestor package relay) is also based on the idea that there is an orphan that needs resolution, but it's just a new way of communicating information. It's not inherently more honest; you can request ancestor package information and get a `notfound`. So ancestor package relay still requires some kind of procedure for retrying when an orphan resolution attempt fails. See the #27742 implementation which builds on this orphan resolution tracker to keep track of what packages to download (it just isn't rebased on this exact branch). The difference when using BIP 331 is that we request `ancpkginfo` and then `pkgtxns` instead of the parent txids.
Zooming out, we'd like orphan handling to be:
- Bandwidth-efficient: don't have too many requests out at once. As already implemented today, transaction requests for orphan parents and regular download both go through the `TxRequestTracker` so that we don't have duplicate requests out.
- Not vulnerable to censorship: don't give up too easily, use all candidate peers. See e.g. https://bitcoincore.org/en/2024/07/03/disclose_already_asked_for/
- Load-balance between peers: don't overload peers; use all peers available. This is also useful for when we introduce per-peer orphan protection, since each peer will have limited slots.
The approach taken in this PR is to think of each peer who announces an orphan as a potential "orphan resolution candidate." These candidates include:
- the peer who sent us the orphan tx
- any peers who announced the orphan prior to us downloading it
- any peers who subsequently announce the orphan after we have started trying to resolve it
For each orphan resolution candidate, we treat them as having "announced" all of the missing parents to us at the time of receipt of this orphan transaction (or at the time they announced the tx if they do so after we've already started tracking it as an orphan). We add the missing parents as entries to `m_txrequest`, incorporating the logic of typical txrequest processing, which means we prefer outbounds, try not to have duplicate requests in flight, don't overload peers, etc.

Add ability to add and track multiple announcers per orphan transaction,
erasing announcers but not the entire orphan.
The tx creation code in orphanage_tests needs to be updated so that each
tx is unique, because the CountOrphans() check assumes that calling
EraseForPeer necessarily means its orphans are deleted.
Unused for now.
