Log whether the starting instance of bitcoin core is a debug or release
build (--enable-debug).
Also warn when running the benchmarks with a debug build, to prevent
mistakes comparing debug to non-debug results.
* inline performance critical code
* Average runtime is specified and used to calculate iterations.
* Console: show median of multiple runs
* plot: show box plot
* filter benchmarks
* specify scaling factor
* ignore src/test and src/bench in command line check script
* number of iterations instead of time
* Replaced runtime in BENCHMARK makro number of iterations.
* Added -? to bench_bitcoin
* Benchmark plotly.js URL, width, height can be customized
* Fixed incorrect precision warning
std::chrono removes portability issues.
Rather than storing doubles, store the untouched time_points. Then
convert to nanoseconds for display. This allows for maximum precision, while
keeping results comparable between differing hardware/operating systems.
Also, display full nanosecond counts rather than sub-second floats.
We were saving a div by caching the inverse as a float, but this
ended up requiring a int -> float -> int conversion, which takes
almost as much time as the difference between float mul and div.
There are lots of other more pressing issues with the bench
framework which probably require simply removing the adaptive
iteration count stuff anyway.
Avoid static analyzer warnings regarding "Function call argument
is a pointer to uninitialized value" in cases where we are
intentionally using such arguments.
This is achieved by using ...
`f(b.begin(), b.end())` (`std::array<char, N>`)
... instead of ...
`f(b, b + N)` (`char b[N]`)
Rationale:
* Reduce false positives by guiding static analyzers regarding our
intentions.

The initialization order of global data structures in different
implementation units is undefined. Making use of this is essentially
gambling on what the linker does, the so-called [Static initialization
order fiasco](https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/ctors#static-init-order).
In this case it apparently worked on Linux but failed on OpenBSD and
FreeBSD.
To create it on first use, make the registration structure local to
a function.
Fixes#8910.
Fee estimation can just check its own mapMemPoolTxs to determine the same information. Note that now fee estimation for block processing must happen before those transactions are removed, but this shoudl be a speedup.
