Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#25193: indexes: Read the locator's top block during init, allow interaction with reindex-chainstate
97844d9268 index: Enable reindex-chainstate with active indexes (Martin Zumsande)
60bec3c82d index: Use first block from locator instead of looking for fork point (Martin Zumsande)

Pull request description:

  This makes two improvements to the index init phase:

  **1) Prevent index corruption in case a reorg happens when the index was switched off**:
  This is done by reading in the top block stored in the locator instead of looking for a fork point already in `BaseIndex::Init()`.
  Before, we'd just go back to the fork point by calling `FindForkInGlobalIndex()`, which would have corrupted the coinstatsindex because its saved muhash needs to be reverted step by step by un-applying all blocks in between, which wasn't done before. This is now being done a bit later in  `ThreadSync()`, which has existing logic to call the custom `Rewind()` method when going back along the chain to the forking point (thanks ryanofsky for pointing this out to me!).

  **2) Allow using the `-reindex-chainstate` option without needing to disabling indexes**:
  With `BaseIndex::Init()` not calling `FindForkInGlobalIndex()` anymore, we can allow `reindex-chainstate` with active indexes. `reindex-chainstate` deletes the chain and rebuilds it later in `ThreadImport`, so there is no chain available during `BaseIndex::Init()`, which would lead to problems (see #24789).
  But now we'll only need the chain a bit later in `BaseIndex::ThreadSync`, which will wait for the reindex-chainstate in `ThreadImport` to finish and will continue syncing after that.

    Code review ACK 97844d9268. Just simple rebase since last review

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree

https://bitcoincore.org

For an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/.

What is Bitcoin Core?

Bitcoin Core connects to the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network to download and fully validate blocks and transactions. It also includes a wallet and graphical user interface, which can be optionally built.

Further information about Bitcoin Core is available in the doc folder.

License

Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
