  Parent PR: #15606
  Issue: #15605
  Specification: https://github.com/jamesob/assumeutxo-docs/tree/2019-04-proposal/proposal

  This changeset starts moving functionality intimately related to CChainState into methods. Parameterizing these functions by a particular CChainState is necessary for the use of multiple chainstates simultaneously (e.g. for asynchronous background validation).

  In this change, we
  - make the CChainState interface public - since other units will start to invoke its methods directly,
  - introduce `::ChainstateActive()`, the CChainState equivalent for `::ChainActive()`,
  - and move `IsInitialBlockDownload()` and `FlushStateToDisk()` into methods on CChainState.

  Independent of assumeutxo, these changes better encapsulate chainstate behavior and allow easier use from a testing context.

  There are more methods that we'll move in the future, but they require other substantial changes (i.e. moving ownership of the `CCoinsView*` hierarchy into CChainState) so we'll save them for future PRs.

  The first move-only commit is most easily reviewed with `git diff ... --color-moved=dimmed_zebra`.

    utACK 403e677c9ebbf9744733010e6b0c2d1b182ee850. Only change since previous review is removing global state comment as suggested.
  MarcoFalke:
    utACK 403e677c9e, though the diff still seems a bit bloated with some unnecessary changes in the second commit.
  promag:
    utACK 403e677 and rebased with current [master](c7cfd20a7).
