Merge #16713: Ignore old versionbit activations to avoid 'unknown softforks' warning

fdb3e8f8b27e3b0b2f88c32915975c6e4c299b1e Ignore old versionbit activations (Anthony Towns)

Pull request description:

  PR 16060 removed the CSV and Segwit BIP9 softfork definitions and hard-coded ('buried') the activation heights. The versionbits code will warn users if an undefined softfork has been signalled in block header versions, and removing the CSV/Segwit definitions caused those warnings to be triggered.

  Change the BIP 9 warning code to only check for unknown softforks after the segwit activation height.

    ACK fdb3e8f8b27e3b0b2f88c32915975c6e4c299b1e. It makes the bit 0 warning go away in mainnet and testnet QT when a new block arrives. I think the code is clear enough.
