Pull request description:
Part of package relay, see #27463.
Note that this still allows packages to bump transactions that are below the dynamic mempool minimum feerate, which means this still solves the "mempool is congested and my presigned 1sat/vB tx is screwed" problem for all transactions.
On master, the package policy (only accessible through regtest-only RPC submitpackage) allows 0-fee (or otherwise below min relay feerate) transactions if they are bumped by a child. However, with default package limits, we don't yet have a DoS-resistant way of ensuring these transactions remain bumped throughout their time in the mempool. Primarily, the fee-bumping child may later be replaced by another transaction that doesn't bump the parent(s). The parent(s) could potentially stay bumped by other transactions, but not enough to ever be selected by the `BlockAssembler` (due to `blockmintxfee`).
For example, (tested [here](https://github.com/glozow/bitcoin/commits/26933-motivation)):
- The mempool accepts 24 below-minrelayfeerate transactions ("0-fee parents"), all bumped by a single high-fee transaction ("the fee-bumping child"). The fee-bumping child also spends a confirmed UTXO.
- Two additional children are added to each 0-fee parent. These children each pay a feerate slightly above the minimum relay feerate (e.g. 1.9sat/vB) such that, for each 0-fee parent, the total fees of its two children divided by the total size of the children and parent is above the minimum relay feerate.
- If a block template is built now, all transactions would be selected.
- A transaction replaces the the fee-bumping child, spending only the confirmed UTXO and not any of the outputs from the 0-fee parents.
- The 0-fee parents now each have 2 children. Their descendant feerates are above minrelayfeerate, which means that they remain in the mempool, even if the mempool evicts all below-minrelayfeerate packages.
- If a block template is built now, none of the 0-fee parents or their children would be selected.
- Even more low-feerate descendants can be added to these below-minrelayfeerate packages and they will not be evicted until they expire or the mempool reaches capacity.
Unless we have a DoS-resistant way of ensuring package CPFP-bumped transactions are always bumped, allowing package CPFP to bump below-minrelayfeerate transactions can result in these problematic situations. See #27018 which proposes a partial solution with some limitations, and contains discussion about potential improvements to eviction strategy. While no adequate solution exists, for now, avoid these situations by requiring all transactions to meet min relay feerate.

Avoid adding transactions below min relay feerate because, even if they
were bumped through CPFP when entering the mempool, we do not have a
DoS-resistant way of ensuring they always remain bumped. In the future,
this rule can be relaxed (e.g. to allow packages to bump 0-fee
transactions) if we find a way to do so.

Pull request description:
Based on discussion and concept ACKed in #27138, add a `warnings` field to RPCs createwallet, loadwallet, unloadwallet, and restorewallet as a JSON array of strings to replace the `warning` string field in these 4 RPCs. The idea is to more gracefully handle multiple warning messages and for consistency with other wallet RPCs. Then, deprecate the latter fields, which represent all the remaining RPC `warning` fields.
The first commit f73782a903 implements https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27138#issuecomment-1474789198 as an alternative to #27138. One of those two could potentially be backported to our currently supported releases.

4b7aec2951 Add mempool tracepoints (virtu)
Pull request description:
This PR adds multiple mempool tracepoints.
| tracepoint | description |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| `mempool:added` | Is called when a transaction enters the mempool |
| `mempool:removed` | ... when a transaction is removed from the mempool |
| `mempool:replaced` | ... when a transaction is replaced in the mempool |
| `mempool:rejected` | ... when a transaction is rejected from entering the mempool |
The tracepoints are further documented in `docs/tracing.md`. Usage is demonstrated in the example script `contrib/tracing/mempool_monitor.py`. Interface tests are provided in `test/functional/interface_usdt_mempool.py`.
The rationale for passing the removal reason as a string instead of numerically is that the benefits of not having to maintain a redundant enum-string mapping seem to outweigh the small cost of string generation. The reject reason is passed as string as well, although in this instance the string does not have to be generated but is readily available.

is passed as string as well, although here the string does not have to

So far, tracepoint PRs typically included two demo scripts: a naive
bpftrace script to show raw tracepoint data and a bcc script for a more
refined view. However, as some of the ongoing changes to bpftrace
introduce a certain degree of unreliability (running some of the
existing bpftrace scripts was not possible with standard kernels and
bpftrace packages on latest stable Ubuntu, Debian, and NixOS), this PR
includes only a single bcc script that fuses the functionality of former
bpftrace and bcc scripts.

Pull request description:
The verbose mempool json response can get very large. 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.

---
When a user activates a snapshot, the serialized UTXO set data is used to create an "assumed-valid" chainstate, which becomes active in an attempt to get the node to network tip as quickly as possible. Simultaneously in the background, the already-existing chainstate continues "conventional" IBD to both accumulate full block data and serve as a belt-and-suspenders to validate the assumed-valid chainstate.
Once the background chainstate's tip reaches the base block of the snapshot used, we set `m_stop_use` on that chainstate and immediately take the hash of its UTXO set; we verify that this matches the assumeutxo value in the source code. Note that while we ultimately want to remove this background chainstate, we don't do so until the following initialization process, when we again check the UTXO set hash of the background chainstate, and if it continues to match, we remove the (now unnecessary) background chainstate, and move the (previously) assumed-valid chainstate into its place. We then reinitialize the chainstate in the normal way.
As noted in previous comments, we could do the filesystem operations "inline" immediately when the background validation completes, but that's basically just an optimization that saves disk space until the next restart. It didn't strike me as worth the risk of moving chainstate data around on disk during runtime of the node, though maybe my concerns are overblown.
The final result of this completion process is a fully-validated chain, where the only evidence that the user synced using assumeutxo is the existence of a `base_blockhash` file in the `chainstate` directory.

04f270b435 Add test for unspendable transactions and parameter 'maxburnamount' to sendrawtransaction. (David Gumberg)
Pull request description:
This PR adds a user configurable, zero by default parameter — `maxburnamount` — to `sendrawtransaction`. This PR makes bitcoin core reject transactions that contain unspendable outputs which exceed `maxburnamount`. closes#25899.
As a result of this PR, `sendrawtransaction` will by default block 3 kinds of transactions:
1. Those that begin with `OP_RETURN` - (datacarriers)
2. Those whose lengths exceed the script limit.
3. Those that contain invalid opcodes.
The user is able to configure a `maxburnamount` that will override this check and allow a user to send a potentially unspendable output into the mempool.
I see two legitimate use cases for this override:
1. Users that deliberately use `OP_RETURN` for datacarrier transactions that embed data into the blockchain.
2. Users that refuse to update, or are unable to update their bitcoin core client would be able to make use of new opcodes that their client doesn't know about.

Pull request description:
`VerifyDB()` can fail to complete due to insufficient dbcache at the level 3 checks. This PR improves the error handling in this case in the following ways:
- The rpc `-verifychain` now returns false if the check can't be completed due to insufficient cache
- During init, we only log a warning if the default values for `-checkblocks` and `-checklevel` are taken and the check doesn't complete. However, if the user actively specifies one of these args, we return with an InitError if we can't complete the check.
This PR also changes `-verifychain` RPC to return `false` if the verification didn't finish due to missing block data (pruning) or due to being interrupted by the node being shutdown.
Previously, this PR also included a fix for a possible assert during verification - this was done in #27009 (now merged).

number of isUsable chainstates.
m_disabled is used to signal that a chainstate should no longer be used
by validation logic; it is used as a sentinel when background validation
completes or if the snapshot chainstate is found to be invalid.
isUsable is a convenience method that incorporates m_disabled.

75347236f2 docs: document c-style cast prohibition (Pasta)
Pull request description:
In the words of practicalswift:
```
A C-style cast is equivalent to try casting in the following order:
const_cast(...)
static_cast(...)
const_cast(static_cast(...))
reinterpret_cast(...)
const_cast(reinterpret_cast(...))
By using static_cast<T>(...) explicitly we avoid the possibility of an unintentional and
dangerous reinterpret_cast. Furthermore static_cast<T>(...) allows for easier grepping of casts.
For a more thorough discussion, see "ES.49: If you must use a cast, use a named cast"
in the C++ Core Guidelines (Stroustrup & Sutter).
```
Modern tooling, specifically `-Wold-style-cast` can enable us to enforce never using C-style casts. I believe this is especially important due to the number of C-style casts the codebase is currently being used as a reinterpret_cast. reinterpret_casts are especially dangerous, and should never be done via C-style casts.
Update the docs to suggest the use of named cast or functional casts.
