Pull request description:
Overall PR: #20158 (tree-wide: De-globalize ChainstateManager)
Note to reviewers:
1. This bundle may _apparently_ introduce usage of `g_chainman` or `::Chain(state|)Active()` globals, but these are resolved later on in the overall PR. [Commits of overall PR](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/20158/commits)
2. There may be seemingly obvious local references to `ChainstateManager` or other validation objects which are not being used in callers of the current function in question, this is done intentionally to **_keep each commit centered around one function/method_** to ease review and to make the overall change systematic. We don't assume anything about our callers. Rest assured that once we are considering that particular caller in later commits, we will use the obvious local references. [Commits of overall PR](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/20158/commits)
3. When changing a function/method that has many callers (e.g. `LookupBlockIndex` with 55 callers), it is sometimes easier (and less error-prone) to use a scripted-diff. When doing so, there will be 3 commits in sequence so that every commit compiles like so:
1. Add `new_function`, make `old_function` a wrapper of `new_function`, divert all calls to `old_function` to `new_function` **in the local module only**
2. Scripted-diff to divert all calls to `old_function` to `new_function` **in the rest of the codebase**
3. Remove `old_function`

81c54dec20891f2627a49b2e3e785fdaf2a1e664 rpc: update getblocktemplate with signet rule, include signet_challenge (Anthony Towns)
Pull request description:
Adds `contrib/signet/miner` for mining signet blocks.
Adds `bitcoin-util` cli utility, with the idea being it can provide bitcoin related functionality that does not rely on the ability to access a running node. Only subcommand currently is "grind" which takes a hex-encoded header and grinds its nonce until its nBits is satisfied.
Updates `getblocktemplate` to include `signet_challenge` field, and makes `getblocktemplate` require the signet rule when invoked on the signet change. Removes connectivity and IBD checks from `getblocktemplate` when applied to a test chain (regtest, testnet, signet).

This moves the CBlockPolicyEstimator to the NodeContext, which get rids
of two globals and allows us to conditionally create the

Remove the CRPCCommand arguments, now that they are asserted to be equal and thus redundant
### Future work
> Here or follow up, makes sense to also assert type of returned UniValue?
Sure, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. I am going to submit any further works as follow-ups, including:
* Removing all python regex linters on the args, now that RPCMan can be used to generate any output, including the cli.cpp table
* Auto-formatting and sanity checking the RPCExamples with RPCMan
* Checking passed-in json in self-check. Removing redundant checks
* Checking returned json against documentation to avoid regressions or false documentation
* Compile the RPC documentation at compile-time to ensure it doesn't change at runtime and is completely static
### Bugs found
* The assert identified issue #18607
* The changes itself fixed bug #19250

Pull request description:
This PR continues and completes the work begun in #17700 working on issue #16000 to create a client-side version of RPC `generate`.
Basically, `bitcoin-cli -generate` wraps calling `generatenewaddress` followed by `generatetoaddress [nblocks] [maxtries]` and prints the following:
```
$ bitcoin-cli -generate
{
"address": "bcrt1qn4aszr2y2xvpa70y675a76wsu70wlkwvdyyln6"
"blocks": [
"01d2ebcddf663da90b28da7f6805115e2ba7818f16fe747258836646a43a0bb5",
]
}
$ bitcoin-cli -rpcwallet=wallet-name -generate 3 100
{
"address": "bcrt1q4cunfw0gnsj7g7e6mk0v0uuvvau9mwr09dj45l",
"blocks": [
"7a6650ca5e0c614992ee64fb148a7e5e022af842e4b6003f81abd8baf1e75136",
"01d2ebcddf663da90b28da7f6805115e2ba7818f16fe747258836646a43a0bb5",
"3f8795ec40b1ad812b818c177680841be319a3f6753d4e32dc7dfb5bafe5d00e"
]
}
```
Help doc:
```
$ bitcoin-cli -h | grep -A5 "\-generate"
-generate
Generate blocks immediately, equivalent to RPC generatenewaddress
followed by RPC generatetoaddress. Optional positional arguments
are number of blocks to generate (default: 1) and maximum
iterations to try (default: 1000000), equivalent to RPC
generatetoaddress nblocks and maxtries arguments. Example:
bitcoin-cli -generate 4 1000
```
Quite a bit of test coverage turned out to be needed to cover the change and the different cases (arguments, multiwallet mode) and error-handling.
This PR also improves some things that working on these changes brought to light.
Credit to Harris Brakmić for the initial work in #17700.

691c817b340d10e806dc3b1834d2a8fcc5e681fd Add util::Ref class as temporary alternative for c++17 std::any (Russell Yanofsky)
Pull request description:
This PR removes the `g_rpc_node` global, to get same benefits we see removing other globals and make RPC code more testable, modular, and reusable.
This uses a hybrid of the approaches suggested in #17548. Instead of using `std::any`, which isn't available in c++11, or `void*`, which isn't type safe, it uses a small new `util::Ref` helper class, which acts like a simplified `std::any` that only holds references, not values.
Motivation for writing this was to provide an simpler alternative to #18647 by Harris Brakmić (brakmic) which avoids some shortcomings of that PR (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18647#issuecomment-617878826)

2abe8cc3b760219cfa434e4c96e9f8d3611d0037 Bugfix: Include "csv","!segwit" in "rules" (Luke Dashjr)
Pull request description:
#16060 removed CSV & segwit from versionbits, breaking the "rules" key returned by GBT.
Without this, miners don't know they're mining segwit blocks, and should fall back to pre-segwit block creation.

dcc8332543f8fb6d1bb47cb270fcbb6a814a7d6e Add generateblock rpc (Andrew Toth)
Pull request description:
The existing block generation rpcs for regtest, `generatetoaddress` and `generatetodescriptor`, mine everything in the mempool up to the block weight limit. This makes it difficult to test a system for several scenarios where a different set of transactions are mined. For example:
- Testing the common scenario where a transaction is replaced in the mempool but the replaced transaction is mined instead.
- Testing for a double-spent transaction where a transaction that conflicts with the mempool is mined.
- Testing for non-standard transactions that are mined.
- Testing the scenario where several blocks are mined without a specific transaction in the mempool being included in a block.
This PR introduces a new rpc, `generateblock`, that takes an array of raw transactions and txids and mines only those and the coinbase. Any txids must be in the mempool, but the raw txs can be anything conforming to consensus rules. The coinbase can be specified as either an address or descriptor.
This reopens#17653 since it was closed by mistake.
Thanks to instagibbs for code suggestions that I used here.

Pull request description:
This enforces most syntax rules of the RPCResult at compile time (or some at run time during unit and functional tests)
Apart from normalizing the syntax, by separating stylistic formatting from the structure, we could in theory directly generate the html for e.g. https://bitcoincore.org/en/doc/0.19.0/rpc/wallet/importmulti/
