metrics: Add a progress bar when in Initial Block Download mode
The progress bar shows both headers (in green) and blocks (in white / inverse of background colour). It is only printed for TTY output.
Additionally, the "not mining" message is no longer shown on mainnet, as the built-in CPU miner is not effective at the current network difficulty.
This patch adds an option to configure the name and/or directory of the
debug log.
The user can specify either a relative path, in which case the path
is relative to the data directory. They can also specify an absolute
path to put the log anywhere else in the file system.
Report headers download
With current compile-time defaults, a Zcash node prefetches up to 160 block headers per request without a limit on how far it can prefetch, but only up to 16 full blocks at a time. For this and other reasons, it can get very far ahead in headers prefetch (and PoW verification on those, so it's quite some processing too) over full blocks fetch (such as 10x ahead) during initial blocks download. Let's report to the user on how many headers the node has fetched, and let's also use this information as additional input on estimating the total number of blocks to fetch: it can't be less than the number of headers already fetched.
While at it, also fix typos in related code.
Use the cached consensusBranchId in DisconnectBlock
If a node is started with a set of network upgrades that don't match the
serialized chain (such as when we implement NU rollbacks on testnet),
RewindBlockIndex will disconnect each block in the chain until it
reaches the most recent block that agrees with the node's set of network
upgrades. However, the blocks themselves should be disconnected using
the consensus branch ID that they were connected with, which is
persisted alongside the chain and reconstructed in LoadBlockIndex.

librustzcash: make the header C compatible
The `librustzcash.h` file is compatible with both languages. However, only C++ is supported at the moment. By relying on the preprocessor to include or not the `extern "C"` piece, the interface becomes compatible with both.
Enable Heartwood activation on mainnet
This sets the Heartwood activation height to `903000`, which follows the deprecation height of `v2.1.2-3` (which is set to deprecate on block `901475`, roughly 31 hours earlier, sometime mid-July).
Fix a null pointer dereference that occurs when formatting an error message
This fixes a bug in the error message printout for the case when we have sufficient chain work, but an expected network upgrade has not activated.
