Mhm... I don't know why GitHub doesn't notify it, as it did in the past, but this PR has conflicts with the current master branch (due to #2105, which rearranged the position of the functions in Aside from this, tested ACK. Working as intended. |

Just rebased it locally and there were no conflicts. Git is playing with your heart @random-zebra. |

Have rewritten the miner code sources, dividing the miner thread from the block assembling process, encapsulating the block creation state inside a new
BlockAssemblerclass (adapting bitcoin#7598).Cleaned several mempool redundant checks inside the assembly process (adaptation of bitcoin#6898):
Another point added here is the rework of the previously non-functional
miner_testsunit test. Which.. have essentially made it work, adding coverage for the miner process, updating it to a fairly recent point down upstream's path + adapting it to our blockchain and consensus rules.The result is a large speed up in the block assembly process, a much better and cleaner code architecture and enable an easier add of new algorithms for block filling in the future.
A good work path on top of this would be to add unit test coverage for PoS, cold staking and Sapling block creation (among others). At the moment, most of the block creation tests are functional ones which are slow and require to setup entire nodes etc.
