As the maximum amount of data that can be pulled into the cache due to
a block validation is much lower now (at most one CCoin entry per input
and per output), reduce the conservative estimate used to determine
flushing time.
This patch makes several related changes:
* Changes the CCoinsView virtual methods (GetCoins, HaveCoins, ...)
to be COutPoint/Coin-based rather than txid/CCoins-based.
* Changes the chainstate db to a new incompatible format that is also
COutPoint/Coin based.
* Implements reconstruction code for hash_serialized_2.
* Adapts the coins_tests unit tests (thanks to Russell Yanofsky).
A side effect of the new CCoinsView model is that we can no longer
use the (unreliable) test for transaction outputs in the UTXO set
to determine whether we already have a particular transaction.
This clarifies a bit more the ways in which the new script execution
cache could break consensus in the future if additional data from
the CCoins object were to be used as a part of script execution.
After this change, any such consensus breaks should be very visible
to reviewers, hopefully ensuring no such changes can be made.
The new functions are:
* CCoinsViewCache::AddCoin: Add a single COutPoint/Coin pair.
* CCoinsViewCache::SpendCoin: Remove a single COutPoint.
* AddCoins: utility function that invokes CCoinsViewCache::AddCoin for
each output in a CTransaction.
* AccessByTxid: utility function that searches for any output with
a given txid.
* CCoinsViewCache::AccessCoin: retrieve the Coin for a COutPoint.
* CCoinsViewCache::HaveCoins: check whether a non-empty Coin exists
for a given COutPoint.
The AddCoin and SpendCoin methods will eventually replace ModifyCoins
and ModifyNewCoins, AddCoins will replace CCoins::FromTx, and the new
AccessCoins and HaveCoins functions will replace their per-txid
counterparts.
Note that AccessCoin for now returns a copy of the Coin object. In a
later commit it will be change to returning a const reference (which
keeps working in all call sites).
The earlier CTxInUndo class now holds the same information as the Coin
class. Instead of duplicating functionality, replace CTxInUndo with a
serialization adapter for Coin.
Previously, transaction metadata (height, coinbase or not, and before
the previous commit also nVersion) was only stored for undo records
that correspond to the last output of a transaction being spent.
This only saves 2 bytes per undo record. Change this to storing this
information for every undo record, and stop complaining for having it
in non-last output spends. This means that undo dat written with
this patch won't be readable by older versions anymore.
This makes the following changes:
* In undo data and the chainstate database, the transaction nVersion
field is removed from the data structures, always written as 0, and
ignored when reading.
* The definition of hash_serialized in gettxoutsetinfo is changed to no
longer incude the nVersion field. It is renamed to hash_serialized_2
to avoid confusion. The new definition also includes transaction
height and coinbase information, as this information was missing
before.
This depends on having a CHashVerifier-based undo data checksum
verifier.
Apart from changing the definition of serialized_hash, downgrading
after using this patch is supported, as no release ever used the value
of nVersion field in UTXO entries.
This is necessary later, when we drop the nVersion field from the undo
data. At that point deserializing and reserializing the data won't
roundtrip anymore, and thus that approach can't be used to verify
checksums anymore.
With this CHashVerifier approach, we can deserialize while hashing the
exact serialized form that was used. This is both more efficient and
more correct in that case.
The error() function unconditionally reports an error. It should only
be used for actually exception situations, and not for the type of
inconsistencies that ApplyTxInUndo/DisconnectBlock can graciously deal
with.
This also makes a subtle semantics change: in ApplyTxInUndo, when a
record with metadata is encountered (indicating it is the last spend
from a tx), don't wipe the CCoins record if it wasn't empty at that
point. This makes sure that UTXO operations never affect any other
UTXOs (including those from the same tx).

A few code changes were needed to accompany the test:
* Adding setObjectName() calls for a few Qt controls to make them easily
accessible from the test.
* Calling contextMenu->popup() instead of contextMenu->exec() to open
the transaction list context menu without blocking the test thread.
* Opening the context menu at the contextualMenu event point rather than
the cursor position (this change was not strictly needed to make the test
work, but is more correct).
* Updating the bumped transaction row with showTransaction=true instead of
false. This is needed to prevent the bumped tx from being hidden, so the last
part of the test which attempts to bump the bumped tx can work. (Technically
this change is a more general bugfix not limited to the testing environment,
but the bug doesn't happen outside of the testing environment because in the
full Qt client, a queued NotifyTransactionChanged notification causes the row
to be updated twice, first with showTransaction=false, then immediately after
with showTransaction=true.)
