Use C++11's better capability of expressing an interface of a non-copyable class by publicly deleting its copy ctor and assignment operator instead of just declaring them private.
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.
Since we are more accurately measuring pcoinsTip peak usage at twice the current in dynamic usage, it makes sense to double the default (this will lead to the same effective usage and peak usage as previously).
We should also double the buffer used to avoid flushing if above 90% but still sufficient space remaining.
Remove the nType and nVersion as parameters to all serialization methods
and functions. There is only one place where it's read and has an impact
(in CAddress), and even there it does not impact any of the recursively
invoked serializers.
Instead, the few places that need nType or nVersion are changed to read
it directly from the stream object, through GetType() and GetVersion()
methods which are added to all stream classes.
Also cap the allocation for the leveldb-specific cache for the UTXO set
to 8MiB.
This avoids that the extra cache memory goes to the much less effective
leveldb cache instead of our application-level cache.
Break the circular dependency between main and txdb by:
- Moving `CBlockFileInfo` from `main.h` to `chain.h`. I think this makes
sense, as the other block-file stuff is there too.
- Moving `CDiskTxPos` from `main.h` to `txdb.h`. This type seems
specific to txdb.
- Pass a functor `insertBlockIndex` to `LoadBlockIndexGuts`. This leaves
it up to the caller how to insert block indices.
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.

Closes#5325#5184#5183#5182
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.
Use misc methods of avoiding unnecesary header includes.
Replace int typedefs with int##_t from stdint.h.
Replace PRI64[xdu] with PRI[xdu]64 from inttypes.h.
Normalize QT_VERSION ifs where possible.
Resolve some indirect dependencies as direct ones.
Remove extern declarations from .cpp files.
As block index entries have a flag for marking invalid blocks, the
'best invalid work' information can be derived from there. In addition,
remove the global from main.h
