fa0c9dbf9156d64a4b9bff858da97825369a9134 txpool: Make nTransactionsUpdated atomic (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  Take the mempool read lock during reorgs, so that we don't accidentally read an inconsistent mempool.

    utACK fa2b083c3feb0522baf652045efa6b73458761a3 [EDIT: was ~e284e422e75189794e24fe482819d8b1407857c3~, from bad copy and paste]. Changes since last review: rebase after #15976, adding vTxHashes lock annotation, adding new commit dropping mempool lock for nTransactionsUpdated and making it atomic to avoid deadlock between mempool lock and g_best_block_mutex

+/**
+ * Test that mempool updates happen atomically with reorgs.
+ *
+ * This prevents RPC clients, among others, from retrieving immediately-out-of-date mempool data
+ * during large reorgs.
+ *
+ * The test verifies this by creating a chain of `num_txs` blocks, matures their coinbases, and then
+ * submits txns spending from their coinbase to the mempool. A fork chain is then processed,
+ * invalidating the txns and evicting them from the mempool.
+ *
+ * We verify that the mempool updates atomically by polling it continuously
+ * from another thread during the reorg and checking that its size only changes
+ * once. The size changing exactly once indicates that the polling thread's
+ * view of the mempool is either consistent with the chain state before reorg,
+ * or consistent with the chain state after the reorg, and not just consistent
+ * with some intermediate state during the reorg.
