ValidationState::Invalid() takes a parameter `ret` which is returned to
the caller. All call sites set this to false. Remove the `ret` parameter
and just return false always.
This is a first step towards cleaning up our DoS interface - make
validation return *why* something is invalid, and let net_processing
figure out what that implies in terms of banning/disconnection/etc.
Behavior change: peers will now be banned for providing blocks
with premature coinbase spends.

Compared with previous bans, the following changes are made:
* Txn with empty vin/vout or null prevouts move from 10 DoS
points to 100.
* Loose transactions with a dependency loop now result in a ban
instead of 10 DoS points.
* Many pre-segwit soft-fork errors now result in a ban.
Note: Transactions that violate soft-fork script flags since P2SH do not generally
result in a ban. Also, banning behavior for invalid blocks is dependent on
whether the node is validating with multiple script check threads, due to a long-
standing bug. That inconsistency is still present after this commit.
* Proof of work failure moves from 50 DoS points to a ban.
* Blocks with timestamps under MTP now result in a ban, blocks
too far in the future continue to *not* result in a ban.
* Inclusion of non-final transactions in a block now results in a
ban instead of 10 DoS points.

CheckTransaction is a context-free function that does not require access
to the blockchain or mempool. Move it from src/consensus/tx_verify in
lib_server to a new unit src/consensus/tx_check in lib_consensus so that
it can be called by non-server libraries.

...is created by individual transactions to 2 places (but call only once in each):
- ConnectBlock ( before calculated fees per txs twice )
- AcceptToMemoryPoolWorker ( before called CheckTxInputs 4 times and calculated
fees per tx one extra time )
Also call tx.GetValueOut() only once per call of CheckTxInputs (instead of 2)

Some people keep thinking that MAX_BLOCK_BASE_SIZE is a separate
size limit from the weight limit when it fact it is superfluous,
and used in early tests before the witness data has been
validated or just to compute worst case sizes. The size checks
that use it would not behave any differently consensus wise
if they were eliminated completely.
Its correct value is not independently settable but is a function
of the weight limit and weight formula.
This patch just eliminates it and uses the scale factor as
required to compute the worse case constants.
It also moves the weight factor out of primitives into consensus,
which is a more logical place for it.
There are some similar asserts which are left removed in policy
and ATMP (policy code being broken isn't a huge deal, but if we
fail to verify some consensus rules, we should most definitely
crash).
