Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#29623: Simplify network-adjusted time warning logic
c6be144c4b774a03a8bcab5a165768cf81e9b06b Remove timedata (stickies-v) 92e72b5d0d49aa395e626c238bc28aba8e4c3d44 [net processing] Move IgnoresIncomingTxs to PeerManagerInfo (dergoegge) 7d9c3ec622d73a98d07ab3cee78751718982a5bc [net processing] Introduce PeerManagerInfo (dergoegge) ee178dfcc1175e0af8163216c9c024f4bfc97965 Add TimeOffsets helper class (stickies-v) 55361a15d1aa6984051441bce88112000688fb43 [net processing] Use std::chrono for type-safe time offsets (stickies-v) 038fd979effb54ee76ce1b7cf078e920c652326a [net processing] Move nTimeOffset to net_processing (dergoegge) Pull request description: [An earlier approach](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commits/1d226ae1f984c5c808f5c24c431b959cdefa692e/) in #28956 involved simplifying and refactoring the network-adjusted time calculation logic, but this was eventually [left out](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28956#issuecomment-1904214370) of the PR to make it easier for reviewers to focus on consensus logic changes. Since network-adjusted time is now only used for warning/informational purposes, cleaning up the logic (building on @dergoegge's approach in #28956) should be quite straightforward and uncontroversial. The main changes are: - Previously, we would only calculate the time offset from the first 199 outbound peers that we connected to. This limitation is now removed, and we have a proper rolling calculation. I've reduced the set to 50 outbound peers, which seems plenty. - Previously, we would automatically use the network-adjusted time if the difference was < 70 mins, and warn the user if the difference was larger than that. Since there is no longer any automated time adjustment, I've changed the warning threshold to ~~20~~ 10 minutes (which is an arbitrary number). - Previously, a warning would only be raised once, and then never again until node restart. This behaviour is now updated to 1) warn to log for every new outbound peer for as long as we appear out of sync, 2) have the RPC warning toggled on/off whenever we go in/out of sync, and 3) have the GUI warn whenever we are out of sync (again), but limited to 1 messagebox per 60 minutes - no more globals - remove the `-maxtimeadjustment` startup arg Closes #4521 ACKs for top commit: sr-gi: Re-ACK [c6be144](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29623/commits/c6be144c4b774a03a8bcab5a165768cf81e9b06b) achow101: reACK c6be144c4b774a03a8bcab5a165768cf81e9b06b dergoegge: utACK c6be144c4b774a03a8bcab5a165768cf81e9b06b Tree-SHA512: 1063d639542e882186cdcea67d225ad1f97847f44253621a8c4b36c4d777e8f5cb0efe86bc279f01e819d33056ae4364c3300cc7400c087fb16c3f39b3e16b96
