It's not possible to generate the addr or tx indexes from scratch if the
block storage had been pruned previously as it's missing the block data.
When the user asks to create these indexes, tell them it's not possible
and the only way it's possible is if they delete and start anew.
This change is part of the effort to add pruning support to btcd.
The addr and tx indexes are not useful when the node is pruned as the
actual block data that the indexes point to are gone. If the user had
previously enabled them, then explicitly require an action from the user
to remove the indexes before letting the user enable pruning.
This change is part of the effort to add pruning support to btcd.
The added *Initialized() functions to each of the indexers allow for
callers to check if each of the indexes have been created. It's
useful for ux improvements where we force the user to manually drop
indexes that aren't compatible with pruning when the user enables
pruning.

Now that pruning is allowed in btcd, accurately report the prune status
back to the user.
This change is part of the effort to add pruning support to btcd.
Allowing the user to not pass in the --prune flag after pruning results
in inaccurate reporting of the prune status for getblockchaininfo and
for signaling NODE_NETWORK_LIMITED to peers. Anything that relies on
cfg.Prune to be accurate is at risk of being incorrect.
To solve the current problems and to prevent potential future problems,
just force the user to keep the prune flag on like bitcoind. In terms
of UX, there isn't that much of a loss since if the user wants to keep
more blocks than they previously did, they can just increase the size
passed to --prune.

BeenPruned will return true if the database has ever been pruned. This
allows for accurate prune status to be reported as well as ux
improvements by disallowing the user to accidently remove or enable
indexes.
You can have a addrindex but with the actual blocks gone, they won't be
much of a help. Consider allowing these option to be both on in the
future where the addrindex is only indexing the non-pruned blocks.
You can have a txindex but with the actual blocks gone, they won't be
much of a help. Consider allowing these option to be both on in the
future where the txindex is only indexing the non-pruned blocks.

Pruning is now available to the end user via --prune flag. There are
checks in place so that the user doesn't go below the minimum prune
target of 1536 MiB. The minimum is set so that we keep at least 288
blocks per the requirement for NODE_NETWORK_LIMITED nodes specified by
BIP0159. The default value of 0 will disable pruning.
This change is part of the effort to add pruning support to btcd.
Wire now supports the ability to signal NODE_NETWORK_LIMITED which
signals to peers that the node is able to serve the last 288 blocks.
Since archival nodes have all blocks, they can also signal for
NODE_NETWORK_LIMITED. SFNodeNetworkLimited flag is added to the default
services.
This change is part of the effort to add pruning support to btcd.
A field for pruning is added and the BlockChain struct is now able to be
configured with pruning. Prune is called on every block connect and
the prune target field is passed to PruneBlocks func. There's no check
to keep the latest 288 blocks to abide by the NODE_NETWORK_LIMITED rule.
That'll have to be enforced by the caller creating the BlockChain
struct.

PruneBlocks will prune the earliest block files until it reaches the
given target size. The returned hashes are the hashes of the blocks
that were pruned.
This change is part of the effort to add pruning support to btcd.
scanBlockFiles nows supports scanning files from an arbitrary block
number. When blocks are pruned, the file number may not start from 0.
To account for this, scanBlockFiles now scans and retreives the start
and the end block file numbers and scans those files.
Previously the early nonce generation option was not being respected
when creating the context, with the WithKnownSigners option being
used. This commit fixes that.
so that sat amounts can be read without counting zeroes

This commit emulates the behavior of Bitcoin Core introduced in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6853 that disables retargeting
of the required proof of work for regtest.
The doc formatting changes introduced in the recent go version is
increasing the diff for all of the new commits. Formatting it all in
this commit will help the readability of future PRs by reducing the
diff.
Benchmark added to compare the performance of a map vs a slice when
fetching utxos. The benchmark shows roughly 25% performance improvement
when using slices instead of a map.
Enables Go memory profiling. If the cpuprofile shows a lot of time
spent on gc, it's useful to then do a memory profile to see where the
memory alloctions happen.
Unlike the --profile flag, this allows for easy generation of a memory
profile for the entire duration of which btcd has been running for in
various readble graphs.
The default script builder allocates 500 bytes of memory for each
script. That is quite large for most applications and therefore wastes a
lot of memory when only small scripts are created.
To avoid breaking backward compatibility, we add a new functional option
to the NewScriptBuilder function that allows the user to specify the
initial allocation size.
