Add a method Cursor() to CCoinsView that returns a cursor which can be
used to iterate over the whole UTXO set.
- rpc: Change gettxoutsetinfo to use new Cursor method
- txdb: Remove GetStats method - Now that GetStats is implemented in
terms of Cursor, remove it.
Compute the value of inputs that already are in the chain at time of mempool entry and only increase priority due to aging for those inputs. This effectively changes the CTxMemPoolEntry's GetPriority calculation from an upper bound to a lower bound.
It's possible coins with the same hash exist when you create a duplicate coinbase, so previously we were reading from the database to make sure we had the old coins cached so if we were to spend the new ones, the old ones would also be spent. This pull instead just marks the new coins as not fresh if they are from a coinbase, so if they are spent they will be written all the way down to the database anyway overwriting any duplicates.
The docs talk about bits 2 and 4 instead of 2 and 3, and bits are being
indexed from both 1 (describing nCode) and 0 (in second example).
Changed to use zero-indexing for all.
When processing a new transaction, in addition to spending the Coins of its txin's it creates a new Coins for its outputs. The existing ModifyCoins function will first make sure this Coins does not already exist. It can not exist due to BIP 30, but because of that the lookup can't be cached and always has to go to the database. Since we are creating the coins to match the new tx anyway, there is no point in checking if they exist first anyway. However this should not be used for coinbase tx's in order to preserve the historical behavior of overwriting the two existing duplicate tx pairs.
It is easily confused with CCoinsViewCache(CCoinsView*), which creates a sub-cache, but instead of creating a sub-cache, the copy constructor would copy the original and use that original's base, defeating the intended isolation.

Closes#5325#5184#5183#5182
Instead of storing CCoins entries directly in CCoinsMap, store a CCoinsCacheEntry
which additionally keeps track of whether a particular entry is:
* dirty: potentially different from its parent view.
* fresh: the parent view is known to not have a non-pruned version.
This allows us to skip non-dirty cache entries when pushing batches of changes up,
and to remove CCoins entries about transactions that are fully spent before the
parent cache learns about them.
All direct modifications are now done through ModifyCoins, and BatchWrite is
used for pushing batches of queued modifications up, so we don't need the
low-level SetCoins and SetBestBlock anymore in the top-level CCoinsView class.
Replace the mutable non-copying GetCoins method with a ModifyCoins, which
returns an encapsulated iterator, so we can keep track of concurrent
modifications (as iterators can be invalidated by those) and run cleanup
code after a modification is finished.
This also removes the overloading of the 'GetCoins' name.
The efficient version of CCoinsViewCache::GetCoins only works for known-to-exist
cache entries, requiring a separate HaveCoins call beforehand. This is
inefficient as both perform a hashtable lookup.
Replace the non-mutable GetCoins with AccessCoins, which returns a potentially-NULL
pointer. This also decreases the overloading of GetCoins.
Also replace some copying (inefficient) GetCoins calls with equivalent AccessCoins,
decreasing the copying.
- ensures a consistent usage in header files
- also add a blank line after the copyright header where missing
- also remove orphan new-lines at the end of some files
It currently returns uint64_t, which on older boost (at least 1.46) causes
test failures on 32-bit systems.
This problem was introduced in bc42503.
Fixes#4634.
