fa9112aac07dc371bfda437d40eb1b841f36f392 Remove utxo db upgrade code (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
It is not possible to upgrade Bitcoin Core pre-segwit (pre-0.13.1) to a recent version without a full IBD from scratch after commit 19a56d1519fb493c3e1bd5cad55360b6b80fa52b (released in version 22.0).
Any Bitcoin Core version with the new database format after commit 1088b02f0ccd7358d2b7076bb9e122d59d502d02 (released in version 0.15), can upgrade to any version that is supported as of today.
This leaves the versions 0.13.1-0.14.x. Even though those versions are unsupported, some users with an existing datadir may want to upgrade to a recent version. However, it seems reasonable to simply ask them to `-reindex` to run a full IBD from scratch. This allows us to remove the utxo db upgrade code.

src/node/
The src/node/ directory contains code that needs to access node state
(state in CChain, CBlockIndex, CCoinsView, CTxMemPool, and similar
classes).
Code in src/node/ is meant to be segregated from code in
src/wallet/ and src/qt/, to ensure wallet and GUI
code changes don't interfere with node operation, to allow wallet and GUI code
to run in separate processes, and to perhaps eventually allow wallet and GUI
code to be maintained in separate source repositories.
As a rule of thumb, code in one of the src/node/,
src/wallet/, or src/qt/ directories should avoid
calling code in the other directories directly, and only invoke it indirectly
through the more limited src/interfaces/ classes.
This directory is at the moment
sparsely populated. Eventually more substantial files like
src/validation.cpp and
src/txmempool.cpp might be moved there.
