2c7d90a6d67a159332d109aab278632d64078f0b miner: bugfix: fix duplicate weight reservation in block assembler (ismaelsadeeq)
Pull request description:
* This PR attempts to fix the duplicate coinbase weight reservation issue we currently have.
* Fixes#21950
We reserve 4000 weight units for coinbase transaction in `DEFAULT_BLOCK_MAX_WEIGHT`
7590e93bc7/src/policy/policy.h (L23)
And also reserve additional `4000` weight units in the default `BlockCreationOptions` struct.
7590e93bc7/src/node/types.h (L36-L40)
**Motivation**
- This issue was first noticed during a review here https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11100#discussion_r136157411)
- It was later reported in issue #21950.
- I also came across the bug while writing a test for building the block template. I could not create a block template above `3,992,000` in the block assembler, and this was not documented anywhere. It took me a while to realize that we were reserving space for the coinbase transaction weight twice.
---
This PR fixes this by consolidating the reservation to be in a single location in the codebase.
This PR then adds a new startup option `-blockreservedweight` whose default is `8000` that can be used to lower or increase the block reserved weight for block header, txs count, coinbase tx.
