Pull request description:

  Miniscript is a language for writing (a subset of) Bitcoin Scripts in a structured way.

  Miniscript permits:
  - To safely extend the Output Descriptor language to many more scripting features thanks to the typing system (composition).
  - Statical analysis of spending conditions, maximum spending cost of each branch, security properties, third-party malleability.
  - General satisfaction of any correctly typed ("valid" [0]) Miniscript. The satisfaction itself is also analyzable.
  - To extend the possibilities of external signers, because of all of the above and since it carries enough metadata.

  Miniscript guarantees:
  - That for any statically-analyzed as "safe" [0] Script, a witness can be constructed in the bounds of the consensus and standardness rules (standardness complete).
  - That unless the conditions of the Miniscript are met, no witness can be created for the Script (consensus sound).
  - Third-party malleability protection for the satisfaction of a sane Miniscript, which is too complex to summarize here.

  For more details around Miniscript (including the specifications), please refer to the [website](https://bitcoin.sipa.be/miniscript/).

  Miniscript was designed by Pieter Wuille, Andrew Poelstra and Sanket Kanjalkar.
  This PR is an updated and rebased version of #16800. See [the commit history of the Miniscript repository](https://github.com/sipa/miniscript/commits/master) for details about the changes made since September 2019 (TL;DR: bugfixes, introduction of timelock conflicts in the type system, `pk()` and `pkh()` aliases, `thresh_m` renamed to `multi`, all recursive algorithms were made non-recursive).

  This PR is also the first in a series of 3:
  - The first one (here) integrates the backbone of Miniscript.
  - The second one (#24148) introduces support for Miniscript in Output Descriptors, allowing for watch-only support of Miniscript Descriptors in the wallet.
  - The third one (#24149) implements signing for these Miniscript Descriptors, using Miniscript's satisfaction algorithm.

  Note to reviewers:
  - Miniscript is currently defined only for P2WSH. No Taproot yet.
  - Miniscript is different from the policy language (a high-level logical representation of a spending policy). A policy->Miniscript compiler is not included here.
  - The fuzz target included here is more interestingly extended in the 3rd PR to check a script's satisfaction against `VerifyScript`. I think it could be further improved by having custom mutators as we now have for multisig (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/23105). A minified corpus of Miniscript Scripts is available at https://github.com/bitcoin-core/qa-assets/pull/85.

  [0] We call "valid" any correctly-typed Miniscript. And "safe" any sane Miniscript, ie one whose satisfaction isn't malleable, which requires a key for any spending path, etc..

Unit tests

The sources in this directory are unit test cases. Boost includes a unit testing framework, and since Bitcoin Core already uses Boost, it makes sense to simply use this framework rather than require developers to configure some other framework (we want as few impediments to creating unit tests as possible).

The build system is set up to compile an executable called test_bitcoin that runs all of the unit tests. The main source file for the test library is found in util/setup_common.cpp.

Compiling/running unit tests

Unit tests will be automatically compiled if dependencies were met in ./configure and tests weren't explicitly disabled.

After configuring, they can be run with make check.

To run the unit tests manually, launch src/test/test_bitcoin. To recompile after a test file was modified, run make and then run the test again. If you modify a non-test file, use make -C src/test to recompile only what's needed to run the unit tests.

To add more unit tests, add BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE functions to the existing .cpp files in the test/ directory or add new .cpp files that implement new BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE sections.

To run the GUI unit tests manually, launch src/qt/test/test_bitcoin-qt

To add more GUI unit tests, add them to the src/qt/test/ directory and the src/qt/test/test_main.cpp file.

Running individual tests

test_bitcoin accepts the command line arguments from the boost framework. For example, to run just the getarg_tests suite of tests:

test_bitcoin --log_level=all --run_test=getarg_tests

log_level controls the verbosity of the test framework, which logs when a test case is entered, for example. test_bitcoin also accepts the command line arguments accepted by bitcoind. Use -- to separate both types of arguments:

test_bitcoin --log_level=all --run_test=getarg_tests -- -printtoconsole=1

The -printtoconsole=1 after the two dashes redirects the debug log, which would normally go to a file in the test datadir (BasicTestingSetup::m_path_root), to the standard terminal output.

... or to run just the doubledash test:

test_bitcoin --run_test=getarg_tests/doubledash

Run test_bitcoin --help for the full list.

Adding test cases

To add a new unit test file to our test suite you need to add the file to src/Makefile.test.include. The pattern is to create one test file for each class or source file for which you want to create unit tests. The file naming convention is <source_filename>_tests.cpp and such files should wrap their tests in a test suite called <source_filename>_tests. For an example of this pattern, see uint256_tests.cpp.

Logging and debugging in unit tests

make check will write to a log file foo_tests.cpp.log and display this file on failure. For running individual tests verbosely, refer to the section above.

To write to logs from unit tests you need to use specific message methods provided by Boost. The simplest is BOOST_TEST_MESSAGE.

For debugging you can launch the test_bitcoin executable with gdb or lldb and start debugging, just like you would with any other program:

gdb src/test/test_bitcoin

Segmentation faults

If you hit a segmentation fault during a test run, you can diagnose where the fault is happening by running gdb ./src/test/test_bitcoin and then using the bt command within gdb.

Another tool that can be used to resolve segmentation faults is valgrind.

If for whatever reason you want to produce a core dump file for this fault, you can do that as well. By default, the boost test runner will intercept system errors and not produce a core file. To bypass this, add --catch_system_errors=no to the test_bitcoin arguments and ensure that your ulimits are set properly (e.g. ulimit -c unlimited).

Running the tests and hitting a segmentation fault should now produce a file called core (on Linux platforms, the file name will likely depend on the contents of /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern).

You can then explore the core dump using

gdb src/test/test_bitcoin core

(gbd) bt  # produce a backtrace for where a segfault occurred
