The bitcoin-chainstate executable serves to surface the dependencies
required by a program wishing to use Bitcoin Core's consensus engine as
it is right now.
More broadly, the _SOURCES list serves as a guiding "North Star" for the
libbitcoinkernel project: as we decouple more and more modules of the
codebase from our consensus engine, this _SOURCES list will grow shorter
and shorter. One day, only what is critical to our consensus engine will
remain. Right now, it's "the minimal list of files to link in to even
use our consensus engine".
[META] In a future commit the libbitcoinkernel library will be extracted
from bitcoin-chainstate, and the libbitcoinkernel library's
_SOURCES list will be the list that we aim to shrink.
