This change also settles on `account_value_delta` as the name of the
column in `v_transactions` that describes the transaction's effect on
the value of the associated account.
This change makes it possible for wallets using the
`zcash_client_backend::data_api::wallet` module to perform transaction
preparation, including input selection and fee calculation, as an
independent step prior to creating proofs and signatures. This can be
used to improve user experience by making it possible to report the
proposed effects of the transaction to the wallet user (including
privacy implications) prior to authorizing the transaction.
Previously, if a caller wanted to use a block source to perform
scanning from the first available block, they would have to guess
at the block height to start from. Changing this to an optional
argument makes this explicit.
This allows callers to validate smaller intervals of the given
`BlockSourceT` shortening processing times of the function call at the
expense of obtaining a partial result on a given section of interest of
the block source.
`params: &ParamsT` has been removed from the arguments since they were
only needed to fall back to `sapling_activation_height` when `None` as
passed as the `validate_from` argument. Passing `None` as validation
start point on a pre-populated `block_source` would result in an error
`ChainError::block_height_discontinuity(sapling_activation_height - 1, current_height)`
With this new API callers must specify a concrete `validate_from`
argument and assume that `validate_chain` will not take any default
fallbacks to chain `ParamsT`.
The addition of a `limit` to the chain validation function changes the
meaning of its successful output, being now a `BlockHeight, BlockHash)`
tuple indicating the block height and block hash up to which the chain
as been validated on its continuity of heights and hashes. Callers
providing a `limit` aregument are responsible of subsequent calls to
`validate_chain()` to complete validating the remaining blocks stored on
the `block_source`.

The remaining uses of `assert!(matches!(...))` are all in cases where
for some reason the `assert_matches` macro interferes with correct
type inference.
The change selection algorithm has the most useful information for
determining whether or not a note is dust, so this adds a new error case
to `ChangeError` that allows the change selection to report the presence
of input notes without economic value back to its caller.
This adds a set of abstractions that allow wallets to provide
independent strategies for fee estimation and note selection, and
implementations of these strategies that perform these operations in the
same fashion as the existing `spend` and `shield_transparent_funds`
functions.
This required a somewhat hefty rework of the error handling in
zcash_client_backend. It fixes an issue with the error types whereby
callees needed to have a bit too much information about the error
types produced by their callers.
Reflect the updated note selection and error handling in zcash_client_sqlite.
Previously, `shield_transparent_funds` was only shielding funds
associated with the legacy default transparent address. This meant
that transparent funds sent to unified addresses could not reliably
be shielded, as a unified address will frequently be constructed
using a diversifier index greater than zero.
This modifies the `get_transparent_receivers` method to return address
metadata containing the account ID and diversifier index used to derive
each address along with the receiver.
The legacy transparent address is never added to the `addresses` table,
but we still need to be able to receive UTXOs sent to that address. So,
we add a special case for when a UTXO matches that legacy address, and
set the account ID to 0 manually.
