flush witness cache (SetBestChain()) on clean shutdown
Closes#4596, follow-on to #4573. In addition to flushing witness data on shutdown, fix the RPC test that was preventing this change from being part of #4573.
metrics: Collect general stats before clearing screen
This prevents the metrics screen from flashing if locks are being held
by long-running processes, specifically cs_main during block validation.
We split up locking on cs_main and cs_vNodes to make obtaining the locks
easier, at the expense of potentially having slightly out-of-sync
statistics (which doesn't really matter, as all we are fetching from the
latter lock is the number of connected peers).
Send alert to put pre-Heartwood nodes into safe mode.
The alert targets nodes running protocol version <= 170010.
Heartwood-compatible nodes run protocol version >= 170011.
Fix "--disable-mining" build regression
closes#4634
Test by building with:
* `CONFIGURE_FLAGS="--disable-tests --disable-mining --disable-bench" zcutil/build.sh`
* `zcutil/distclean.sh`
* `CONFIGURE_FLAGS="--disable-mining" zcutil/build.sh`
After the second build, run `qa/zcash/full-test-suite.py`. Stop when it gets to the RPC tests, which will hang. The preceding parts of the test suite are all expected to pass.

Pass HistoryNode through Rust FFI as a C array
`std::array<T>` is guaranteed to store `T` contiguously. However, there is
no guarantee that `sizeof(std::array<unsigned char, N>) == N`, which
prevents us from interpreting `std::array<std::array<unsigned char, N>, 32>`
as `&[[u8; N]]` on the Rust side of the FFI.
Instead, we define `HistoryNode` as a struct wrapping a C array, which
(as checked by `static_assert`) contains no padding.
This is equivalent to 82fe37d22b, which
fixed this issue when passing a slice of `HistoryEntry`s from C++ to Rust;
the bug fixed here is writing `HistoryNodes` from Rust into C++ memory.
This prevents the metrics screen from flashing if locks are being held
by long-running processes, specifically cs_main during block validation.
We split up locking on cs_main and cs_vNodes to make obtaining the locks
easier, at the expense of potentially having slightly out-of-sync
statistics (which doesn't really matter, as all we are fetching from the
latter lock is the number of connected peers).
Post-Heartwood cleanups
The C++ Equihash validator is removed; the Rust validator is now used unconditionally for the entire chain.
Changes made to enable contextually switching between the two validators have been reverted.
Also fixes a segfault that could occur on reindex during consensus-related development.
This reverts commit 49f9584613.
Now that we are depending unconditionally on the Rust Equihash
validator, CheckEquihashSolution() can revert to being a non-contextual
check.
This also fixes a segfault that would occur during reindexing if the
consensus rules were altered such that a previously-valid block would
become invalid, and the node's block files contained blocks in a
specific order. It was encountered while testing the Canopy NU on
testnet (due to a bug in the implementation of ZIP 212 that was
separately fixed in zcash/zcash#4604).
