fa38d86235 Use only Span{} constructor for byte-like types where possible (MarcoFalke)
fa257bc831 util: Allow std::byte and char Span serialization (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Seems odd to require developers to cast all byte-like spans passed to serialization to `unsigned char`-spans. Fix that by passing and accepting byte-like spans as-is. Finally, add tests and update the code to use just `Span` where possible.

Code review ACK fa38d86235. This looks great. The second commit really removes a lot of boilerplate and shows why the first commit is useful.

Prior to this commit it was possible to create base_blobs with any arbitrary amount of bits, like base_blob<9>. One could assume that this would be a valid way to create a bit field that guarantees to have at least 9 bits. However, in such a case, base_blob would not behave as expected because the WIDTH is rounded down to the closest whole byte (simple integer division by 8). This commit makes sure that this oddity is detected and blocked by the compiler.
935acdcc79 refactor: modernize the implementation of uint256.* (pasta)
Pull request description:
- Constructors of uint256 to utilize Span instead of requiring a std::vector
- converts m_data into a std::array
- Prefers using `WIDTH` instead of `sizeof(m_data)`
- make all the things constexpr
- replace C style functions with c++ equivalents
- memset -> std::fill
This may also be replaced by std::memset, but I think that std::fill is more idiomatic of modern c++ and readable.
- memcpy -> std::copy
Note: In practice, implementations of std::copy avoid multiple assignments and use bulk copy functions such as std::memmove if the value type is TriviallyCopyable and the iterator types satisfy LegacyContiguousIterator. (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/copy)
This could also likely be replaced by std::memcpy, but as said above, I believe the using std::copy is the more c++ way to do anything and is almost guaranteed to compile to the same asm
- memcmp -> std::memcmp

- memcmp -> std::memcmp
This adds a new module (unused for now) which defines TxRequestTracker, a data
structure that maintains all information about transaction requests, and coordinates
requests.
Replace the memset with C++11 value/aggregate initialisation of
the m_data array, which still ensures the unspecified values end
up as zero-initialised.
This then allows changing UINT256_ONE() from dynamically allocating an
object, to a simpler referencing a static allocation.
This is in preparation for exposing a ::data member function.

In the case of CKey's destructor, it seems to have been an oversight in
f4d1fc259 not to delete it. At this point, it results in the move
constructors/assignment operators for CKey being deleted, which may have
a performance impact.
Remove the nType and nVersion as parameters to all serialization methods
and functions. There is only one place where it's read and has an impact
(in CAddress), and even there it does not impact any of the recursively
invoked serializers.
Instead, the few places that need nType or nVersion are changed to read
it directly from the stream object, through GetType() and GetVersion()
methods which are added to all stream classes.
Given that in default GetSerializeSize implementations created by
ADD_SERIALIZE_METHODS we're already using CSizeComputer(), get rid
of the specialized GetSerializeSize methods everywhere, and just use
CSizeComputer. This removes a lot of code which isn't actually used
anywhere.
For CCompactSize and CVarInt this actually removes a more efficient
size computing algorithm, which is brought back in a later commit.
- Update comments in checkpoints to be doxygen compatible
- Update comments in checkqueue to be doxygen compatible
- Update coins to be doxygen compatible
- Fix comment typo in crypter.h
- Update licenses/copyright dates
Closes#5325#5184#5183#5182
- ensures a consistent usage in header files
- also add a blank line after the copyright header where missing
- also remove orphan new-lines at the end of some files
Unit tests for uint256.h. The file uint160_tests.cpp is no longer
needed. The ad-hoc tests which were in uint256.h are also no longer
needed. The new tests achieve 100% coverage.
