This adds an option to return the non-verbose response of just the txids. It is identical to the rpc response so the diff here is minimal. This also adds the mempool_sequence parameter for rpc consistency. Verbose defaults to true to remain backwards compatible. It uses query parameters to be compatible with the efforts in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/25752.

In the REST interface, we have an endpoint named`/rest/chaininfo.json` (which refers to `getblockchaininfo`), so, this PR adds a new REST endpoint named `/deploymentinfo` which refers to `getdeploymentinfo`. You can use it by passing a block hash, e.g: '/rest/deploymentinfo/<BLOCKHASH>.json' or you can use it without passing a block hash to get the 'deploymentinfo' for the last block.

2022-04-05Update /<count>/ endpoints to use a '?count=' query parameter insteadstickies-v
In most RESTful APIs, path parameters are used to represent resources, and query parameters are used to control how these resources are being filtered/sorted/... The old /<count>/ functionality is kept alive to maintain backwards compatibility, but new paths with query parameters are introduced and documented as the default interface so future API methods don't break consistency by using query parameters.

5c3eaf9983043db1b61a98c95d692a6958670b86 doc: Add warnings for http interfaces limitations (Fabian Jahr) Pull request description: `libevent`, which is used for our rest interface, can use up all of the available file descriptors in a system if too many connections are opened at once. If a new block is connected at the same time and can not be written to disk because there are no file descriptors available, the node crashes. Based on my investigation so far the issue is best solved upstream which means we have to wait for the next release (2.2). In the meantime it would be good if we would warn users of this limitation. See #11368 for more background.
