Specifying this argument overrides the path location for test_bitcoin;
it becomes <datadir>/test_common_Bitcoin Core/<testname>/datadir. Also,
this directory isn't removed after the test completes. This can make it
easier for developers to study the results of a test (see the state of
the data directory after the test runs), and also (for example) have an
editor open on debug.log to monitor it across multiple test runs instead
of having to re-open a different pathname each time.
Example usage (note the "--" is needed):
test_bitcoin --run_test=getarg_tests/boolarg -- \
-testdatadir=/somewhere/mydatadir
This will create (if necessary) and use the data directory:
/somewhere/mydatadir/test_common_Bitcoin Core/getarg_tests/boolarg/datadir

Avoid use of the expensive mod operator (%) when calculating the
buffer offset. No functional difference.

The global logging object instance is not re-created for each run, so when
multiple logging benchmarks are run, each one after the first one still has
the logging categories enabled from the previous ones. This commit disables
all categories at the start of each benchmark.
When a block is initially read from a blk*.dat file during reindexing,
it can be added to the block index only if all of its ancestor blocks
have been added, which is rare. If the block's ancestors have not been
added, the block must be re-read from disk later when it can be added.
This commit: During the initial block read, deserialize only its header,
rather than the entire block, since this is sufficient to determine
if its parent (and thus all its ancestors) has been added. This is a
performance improvement.
SkipTo() reads data from the file into the CBufferedFile object
(memory), but, unlike this object's read() method, SkipTo() doesn't
transfer data into a caller's memory buffer. This is useful because
after skipping forward in the stream in this way, the user can, if
needed, rewind the stream (SetPos()) and access the object's memory
buffer including ranges that were skipped over (without needing to
read from the disk file).
Follow-up to #25717. The commit "Utilize anti-DoS headers download
strategy" changed how this bool variable is computed, so that its value
is now the opposite of what it should be.
Don't schedule class PeerManagerImpl's background tasks from its
constructor, but instead do that from a separate method,
StartScheduledTasks(), that can be called later at the end of startup,
after other things, such as the active chain, are initialzed.
