This changeset finishes the first phase of the assumeutxo project. It makes UTXO snapshots loadable via RPC (`loadtxoutset`) and adds `assumeutxo` parameters to chainparams. It contains all the remaining changes necessary to both use an assumedvalid snapshot chainstate and do a full validation sync in the background.
This may look like a lot to review, but note that
- ~200 lines are a (non-essential) demo shell script
- Many lines are functional test, documentation, and relatively dilute RPC code.
So it shouldn't be as burdensome to review as the linecount might suggest.
- **P2P**: minor changes are made to `init.cpp` and `net_processing.cpp` to make simultaneous IBD across multiple chainstates work.
- **Pruning**: implement correct pruning behavior when using a background chainstate
- **Blockfile separation**: to prevent "fragmentation" in blockfile storage, have background chainstates use separate blockfiles from active snapshot chainstates to avoid interleaving heights and impairing pruning.
- **Indexing**: some `CValidationInterface` events are given with an additional parameter, ChainstateRole, and all indexers ignore events from ChainstateRole::ASSUMEDVALID so that indexation only happens sequentially.
- Have `-reindex` properly wipe snapshot chainstates.
- **RPC**: introduce RPC commands `loadtxoutset` and (hidden) `getchainstates`.
- **Release docs & first assumeutxo commitment**: add notes and a particular assumeutxo hash value for first AU-enabled release.
- This will complete the project and allow use of UTXO snapshots for faster node bootstrap.
The next phase, if it were to be pursued, would be coming up with a way to distribute the UTXO snapshots over the P2P network.

### UTXO snapshots
Create your own with `./contrib/devtools/utxo_snapshot.sh`, e.g.
```shell
./contrib/devtools/utxo_snapshot.sh 788000 utxo.dat ./src/bitcoin-cli -datadir=$(pwd)/testdata`)
```
or use the pre-generated ones listed below.
- Testnet: **2'500'000** (Sjors):
- torrent: `magnet:?xt=urn:btih:511e09f4bf853aefab00de5c070b1e031f0ecbe9&dn=utxo-testnet-2500000.dat&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.bitcoin.sprovoost.nl%3A6969`

### Testing
#### For fun (~5min)
If you want to do a quick test, you can run `./contrib/devtools/test_utxo_snapshots.sh` and follow the instructions. This is mostly obviated by the functional tests, though.
#### For real (longer)
If you'd like to experience a real usage of assumeutxo, you can do that too.
I've cut a new snapshot at height 788'000 (http://img.jameso.be/utxo-788000.dat - but you can do it yourself with `./contrib/devtools/utxo_snapshot.sh` if you want). Download that, and then create a datadir for testing:
```sh
$ cd ~/src/bitcoin # or whatever
# get the snapshot
$ curl http://img.jameso.be/utxo-788000.dat > utxo-788000.dat
# you'll want to do this if you like copy/pasting
$ export AU_DATADIR=/home/${USER}/au-test # or wherever
$ mkdir ${AU_DATADIR}
$ vim ${AU_DATADIR}/bitcoin.conf
dbcache=8000 # or, you know, something high
blockfilterindex=1
coinstatsindex=1
prune=3000
logthreadnames=1
```
Obtain this branch, build it, and then start bitcoind:
```sh
$ git remote add jamesob https://github.com/jamesob/bitcoin
$ git fetch jamesob assumeutxo
$ git checkout jamesob/assumeutxo
$ ./configure $conf_args && make # (whatever you like to do here)
# start 'er up and watch the logs
$ ./src/bitcoind -datadir=${AU_DATADIR}
```
Then, in some other window, load the snapshot
```sh
$ ./src/bitcoin-cli -datadir=${AU_DATADIR} loadtxoutset $(pwd)/utxo-788000.dat
```
You'll see some log messages about headers retrieval and waiting to see the snapshot in the headers chain. Once you get the full headers chain, you'll spend a decent amount of time (~10min) loading the snapshot, checking it, and flushing it to disk. After all that happens, you should be syncing to tip in pretty short order, and you'll see the occasional `[background validation]` log message go by.
In yet another window, you can check out chainstate status with
```sh
$ ./src/bitcoin-cli -datadir=${AU_DATADIR} getchainstates
```
as well as usual favorites like `getblockchaininfo`.
