Pull request description:
This PR:
1. Coalesce the Chainstate loading sequence between `AppInitMain` and `*TestingSetup` (which makes it more tested)
2. Makes the Chainstate loading sequence reusable in preparation for future work extracting out our consensus engine.
Code-wise, this PR:
1. Extracts `AppInitMain`'s Chainstate loading sequence into a `::LoadChainstateSequence` function
2. Makes this `::LoadChainstateSequence` function reusable by
1. Decoupling it from various concepts (`ArgsManager`, `uiInterface`, etc)
2. Making it report errors using an `enum` rather than by setting a `bilingual_str`
3. Makes `*TestingSetup` use this new `::LoadChainstateSequence`
Reviewers: Aside from commentary, I've also included `git diff` flags of interest in the commit messages which I hope will aid review!

Pull request description:
This adds an RPC method to fetch a block directly from a peer. This can used to fetch stale blocks with lower proof of work that are normally ignored by the node (`headers-only` in `getchaintips`).
Usage:
```
bitcoin-cli getblockfrompeer HASH peer_n
```
Closes#20155
Limitations:
* you have to specify which peer to fetch the block from
* the node must already have the header

Pull request description:
Remove `CTxMemPool` parameter from `AcceptToMemoryPool` function, as suggested in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/23437#issuecomment-962536149 .
This requires that `CChainState` has access to `MockedTxPool` in `tx_pool.cpp` as mentioned https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/23173#discussion_r731895386. So the `MockedTxPool` is attributed to `CChainState::m_mempool` before calling `AcceptToMemoryPool`.
Requires #23437.

Pull request description:
Remove 2 circular dependencies: validation - txmempool and validation - policy/rbf - txmempool
Validation should depend on txmempool (e.g. `CChainstateManager` has a mempool and we often need to know what's in our mempool to validate transactions), but txmempool is a data structure that shouldn't really need to know about chain state.
- Changes `removeForReorg()` to be parameterized by a callable that returns true/false (i.e. whether the transaction should be removed due to being now immature or nonfinal) instead of a `CChainState`. The mempool really shouldn't need to know about coinbase maturity or lockpoints, it just needs to know which entries to remove.

No behavior change.
Parameterize removeForReorg using a CChain and callable that
encapsulates validation logic. The mempool shouldn't need to know a
bunch of details about coinbase maturity and lock finality. Instead,
just pass in a callable function that says true/false. Breaks circular
dependency by removing txmempool's dependency on validation.

Pull request description:
Similarly to how #18698 added `ProcessNewBlock()` and `ProcessNewBlockHeaders()` methods to the `ChainstateManager` class, this PR adds a new `ProcessTransaction()` method. Code outside validation no longer calls `AcceptToMemoryPool()` directly, but calls through the higher-level `ProcessTransaction()` method. Advantages:
- The interface is simplified. Calling code no longer needs to know about the active chainstate or mempool object, since `AcceptToMemoryPool()` can only ever be called for the active chainstate, and that chainstate knows which mempool it's using. We can also remove the `bypass_limits` argument, since that can only be used internally in validation.
- responsibility for calling `CTxMemPool::check()` is removed from the callers, and run automatically by `ChainstateManager` every time `ProcessTransaction()` is called.

No change in behavior, because package transactions would not be going
through the rbf logic in PreChecks anyway (BIP125 is currently disabled
for package acceptance, see ATMPArgs).
We draw the line here because each individual transaction in package
validation still goes through all PreChecks. For example, checking that
one's own conflicts and dependencies are disjoint (a consensus check)
and individual transaction mempool ancestor/descendant limits.
The aliases are leftover from a previous MOVEONLY refactor - they are
unnecessary and removing them reduces the diff for splitting out mempool
Checks from PreChecks, making RBF variables MemPoolAccept-wide, etc.

CTxMemPool::check() will carry out internal consistency checks 1/n times,
where n is set by the `-checkmempool` configuration option. By default,
mempool consistency checks are disabled entirely on mainnet.
Therefore, this change has no effect on mainnet nodes running with
default configuration. It simply removes the responsibility to trigger
mempool consistency checks from net_processing.
This just calls through to AcceptToMemoryPool() internally, and is currently unused.
Also add a new transaction validation failure reason TX_NO_MEMPOOL to
indicate that there is no mempool.
"This logic is not necessary for memory pool transactions, as
AcceptToMemoryPool already refuses previously-known transaction ids
entirely." refers to the logic at
a206b0ea12/src/main.cpp (L484-L486),
which was later removed in commit 450cbb0944cd20a06ce806e6679a1f4c83c50db2.
This is not only cleaner but also helps make sure we are always using
the virtual size measure that includes the sigop weight heuristic (which
is the vsize the mempool would return).
This bool was originally part of Workspace and was removed in #22539
when it was no longer needed in Finalize(). Re-introducing it because,
once again, multiple functions will need to know whether we're doing an
RBF. Member of MemPoolAccept so that we can use this to inform package
RBF in the future.
No change in behavior.
ATMPArgs can continue to have granular rules like switching BIP125
on/off while we create an interface for the different sets of rules for
single transactions vs multiple-testmempoolaccept vs package validation.
This is a cleaner interface than manually constructing the args, which
makes it easy to mix up ordering, use the wrong default, etc. It also
means we don't need to edit ATMP/single transaction validation code
every time we update ATMPArgs for package validation.

Pull request description:
Remove the txmempool <-> validation circular dependency by removing txmempool's dependency on validation. There are two functions in txmempool that need validation right now: `check()` and `removeForReorg()`. This PR removes the dependencies in `check()`.
This PR also improves the performance of `CTxMemPool::check()` by walking through the entries exactly once, in ascending ancestorcount order, which guarantees that we see parents before children.

The tracepoint `validation:block_connected` was introduced in #22006.
The first argument was the hash of the connected block as a pointer
to a C-like String. The last argument passed the hash of the
connected block as a pointer to 32 bytes. The hash was only passed as
string to allow `bpftrace` scripts to print the hash. It was
(incorrectly) assumed that `bpftrace` cannot hex-format and print the
block hash given only the hash as bytes.
The block hash can be printed in `bpftrace` by calling
`printf("%02x")` for each byte of the hash in an `unroll () {...}`.
By starting from the last byte of the hash, it can be printed in
big-endian (the block-explorer format).
```C
$p = $hash + 31;
unroll(32) {
$b = *(uint8*)$p;
printf("%02x", $b);
$p -= 1;
}
```

UpdateCoins is an unnecessary dependency on validation. All we need to
do is add and remove coins to check inputs. We don't need the extra
logic for checking coinbases and handling TxUndos.
Also remove the wrapper function in validation.h which constructs a
throwaway TxUndo object before calling UpdateCoins because it is now
unused.

Pull request description:
This is part of the [assumeutxo project](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/11) (parent PR: #15606)
---
Modify UpdateTip and CheckBlockIndex for use with multiple chainstates. Includes a new unittest verifying `g_best_block` behavior (previously untested at the unit level) and various changes necessary for running and testing `ProcessNewBlock()`-like behavior on the background validation chainstate.
This changeset introduces a new block index `nStatus` flag called `BLOCK_ASSUMED_VALID`, and it is applied to block index entries that are beneath the UTXO snapshot base block upon snapshot load. Once each block is validated (during async background validation), the flag is removed. This allows us to avoid (ab)using `BLOCK_VALID_*` flags for snapshot chain block entries, and preserves the original meaning of those flags.
Note: this PR previously incorporated changes to `LoadBlockIndex()` and `RewindBlockIndex()` as noted in Russ' comments below, but once I generated the changes necessary to test the UpdateTip change, I decided to split this changes out into another PR due to the size of this one.
