Current CWalletTx state representation makes it possible to set
inconsistent states that won't be handled correctly by wallet sync code
or serialized & deserialized back into the same form.
For example, it is possible to call setConflicted without setting a
conflicting block hash, or setConfirmed with no transaction index. And
it's possible update individual m_confirm and fInMempool data fields
without setting an overall consistent state that can be serialized and
handled correctly.
Fix this without changing behavior by using std::variant, instead of an
enum and collection of fields, to represent sync state, so state
tracking code is safer and more legible.
This is a first step to fixing state tracking bugs
https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-devwiki/wiki/Wallet-Transaction-Conflict-Tracking,
by adding an extra margin of safety that can prevent new bugs from being
introduced as existing bugs are fixed.
