Template Provider Implementation and Integration

What

Implement a Sv2 Template Provider in Bitcoin Core.

Why

Allows Bitcoin Core to act as a Template Provider to StratumV2 Proxies.

How

• Add extern C functions for init and pushing items to a CVec2 #116
• add a new thread or process that manage the TP logic #63
• wrap sv2-ffi in a idiomatic C++ layer #64
• Implement the TP logic #65
• Rename free_encoder to flush_encoder #135
• Potential memory leak with DecodeWrapper in C++ #117
• Add a pre-processor to switch between using poll and select bitcoin#4
• Fix linker and configure issues that prevents tests from compiling bitcoin#5
• Reimplement fuzz tests and unit tests bitcoin#6
• Add the Sv2 Template Provider configuration to allow user to specify a port bitcoin#7
• Rename sv2_distributor.cpp to sv2_template_provider.cpp or something similar bitcoin#8
• Implement sending out a new template when g_best_block_cv changes bitcoin#9
• Figure out the implementation constraints of the server bitcoin#10
• Refactor naming and style bitcoin#11
• Ignore clients that are ready to disconnect bitcoin#12
• Review and Test building the Block Template bitcoin#13
• Review the implemenation of the Sv2 Template Provider initialized in init.cpp bitcoin#14
• Investigate whether Functional tests can be written for the Template Provider Server bitcoin#15
• Remove the sample code from bitcoind.cpp bitcoin#16
• Add a DecoderWrapper per client bitcoin#17
• Figure out when Sv2 show throw an error and exit bitcoin#18
