Pull request description:

  Opening for discussion / conceptual review.

  We like the idea of a smaller maximum transaction size because:
  - It lowers potential replacement cost (i.e. harder to do Rule 3 pinning via gigantic transaction)
  - They are easier to bin-pack in block template production
  - They equate to a tighter memory limit in data structures that are bounded by a number of transactions (e.g. orphanage and vExtraTxnForCompact). For example, the current memory bounds for orphanage is 100KvB * 100 = 40MB, and guaranteeing 1 tx per peer would require reserving a pretty large space.

  History for `MAX_STANDARD_TX_WEIGHT=100KvB` (copied from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29873#issuecomment-2115459510):
  - 2010-09-13 In 3df62878c3 satoshi added a 100kB (MAX_BLOCK_SIZE_GEN/5 with MBS_GEN = MAX_BLOCK_SIZE/2) limit on new transactions in CreateTransaction()
  - 2013-02-04 https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/2273 In gavin gave that constant a name, and made it apply to transaction relay as well

  Lowering `MAX_STANDARD_TX_WEIGHT` for all txns is not being proposed, as there are existing apps/protocols that rely on large transactions. However, it's been brought up that we should consider this for TRUCs (which is especially designed to avoid Rule 3 pinning).

  This reduction should be ok because using nVersion=3 isn't standard yet, so this wouldn't break somebody's existing use case. If we find that this is too small, we can always increase it later. Decreasing would be much more difficult.
  ~[Expected size of a commitment transaction](https://github.com/lightning/bolts/blob/master/03-transactions.md#expected-weight-of-the-commitment-transaction) is within (900 + 172 * 483 + 224) / 4 = 21050vB~ EDIT: this is incorrect, but perhaps not something that should affect how we choose this number.

Test library

This contains files for the test library, which is used by the test binaries (unit tests, benchmarks, fuzzers, gui tests).

Generally, the files in this folder should be well-separated modules. New code should be added to existing modules or (when in doubt) a new module should be created.

The utilities in here are compiled into a library, which does not hold any state. However, the main file setup_common defines the common test setup for all test binaries. The test binaries will handle the global state when they instantiate the BasicTestingSetup (or one of its derived classes).
