The function signature for the `send` RPC is:
```
send [{"address":amount,...},{"data":"hex"},...] ( conf_target "estimate_mode" fee_rate options version )
```

The last example in the manpage is missing the `fee_rate` arg, but is trying to specify the `options` arg, by index.
The parser confuses the intended `options` arg as the missing `fee_rate` arg.

See:
```
$ bitcoin-cli -rpcuser=doggman -rpcpassword=donkey -rpcport=18554 -regtest send '{"bcrt1qusm48zmlzwr32csxdw4ar7atw260h22c9ten9l": 0.1}' 1 economical '{"add_to_wallet": false, "inputs": [{"txid":"0b7e1a471dc948b7a6187936b16e6d7d9833629b2f9dd8a392eb89928f63aaad", "vout":0}]}'
error code: -8
error message:
Cannot specify both conf_target and fee_rate. Please provide either a confirmation target in blocks for automatic fee estimation, or an explicit fee rate.

This effectively reverts a3cb309 from PR bitcoin#30194.

That PR reduced the multi_index type signatures as recommended upstream, but
this is no longer supported as of boost 1.91 because it is no longer necessary.
1.91 drops support for the pre-c++11 work-arounds that bloated the type
signatures to begin with.

The upstream `BOOST_MULTI_INDEX_ENABLE_MPL_SUPPORT` define is meant to provide
compatibility with removed features, but it does not work for this case. Using
`indexed_by` directly when defining the `multi_index` (as opposed to inheriting
from it) works with all versions, and avoids the use of the back-compat define.

This is a slight regression when building against boost < 1.91 because the
bloated type signatures are reintroduced in that case, but it's not significant
enough to go to the trouble of introducing version detection and ifdefs.

This makes sure `txsdata` always outlives the Script check queue (since local
objects are destructed in reverse order of construction).

This is the root cause for a security vulnerability reported by Cory Fields in
2024 that could be exploited by crafting an invalid block to cause nodes to
read freed memory. The vulnerability was covertly fixed in commit
`492e1f09943fcb6145c21d470299305a19e17d8b`.

See security advisory for CVE-2024-52911 for more details.

Docker 29.4.2 blocks `socketcall(2)` in the default seccomp profile:
https://docs.docker.com/engine/release-notes/29/#2942
https://github.com/moby/profiles/releases/tag/seccomp%2Fv0.2.2
moby/moby#52501

That affects the `i686, no IPC` job because it runs 32-bit Linux test binaries inside Docker.

Add Docker's documented `--security-opt seccomp=unconfined` workaround to this job's `CI_CONTAINER_CAP` - the hook `ci/test/02_run_container.py` already appends to `docker run`.

This restores socket availability for the 32-bit test binaries throughout the job:

Seek compaction is causing a cascade effect in the chainstate DB, causing large parts of the database to be rewritten every ~hour.

Every periodic flush writes around 2 MiB. Since this is roughly the `write_buffer_size`, these writes regularly cause the memtable to rotate into a small L0 file. This file has a small seek budget, and with the random UTXO reads done during validation, it can get scheduled for seek compaction quickly.

That seek compaction pushes the small file down to L1. Since most UTXOs are already lower down in L4/L5, many reads that consult this file do not find the key there and continue downward. The bloom filter makes those misses cheap, but LevelDB still decrements the file's seek budget. The file then gets scheduled for another seek compaction, and the same pattern pushes it down through L2 and L3.

The expensive part happens around L3/L4. L4 has many ~32 MiB files holding the bulk of the UTXO set. When LevelDB compacts into L3, it may split the output into many smaller L3 files to limit how much L4 "grandparent" data any one output overlaps. Each of these small L3 files then gets its own small seek budget. Because chainstate keys are hash-random, each small L3 file can still have a broad key range, so many random reads consult it and quickly drain its budget. Once seek-compacted into L4, each tiny L3 file can overlap many L4 files, so compacting a few hundred KiB from L3 can require rewriting hundreds of MiB from L4. Repeating that across many small L3 files can rewrite most of the chainstate.

This is a poor fit for chainstate because UTXO keys are hash-random, the DB is large enough to have many levels, writes are relatively small and periodic, and reads are frequent. The result is that read misses trigger compactions much earlier than size pressure would, and those compactions have very high write amplification.

Disabling seek compaction may leave more files in upper levels for longer, so reads could theoretically consult more files. But Bitcoin Core enables bloom filters for all its LevelDB instances, so these misses are usually cheap in-memory filter checks rather than disk reads.

For the other DBs, the risk is much smaller. They also use bloom filters, and most are smaller and less read-heavy. With fewer levels and less random read pressure, disabling seek compaction should have little effect there.

This is no-longer a proper subtree, because of direct cherry-picks.
Add `CDBWrapper::GetProperty()` and expose it through `CCoinsViewDB::GetDBProperty()` so coins tests can inspect LevelDB runtime properties through the coins view.
Use it in a coins DB flush baseline that records the LevelDB layout after flushing while keeping readback coverage for the flushed coin and best block.

Full chainstate flushes are convenient maintenance points for long-term LevelDB cleanup because the chainstate was just written.
Randomize the trigger so nodes that flush near the same height do not compact together.

Add blocking chainstate compaction through `CCoinsViewDB::CompactFull()` and give each post-IBD full flush on the normal chainstate a 1/320 chance to start compaction.
With hourly flushes this averages roughly every two weeks and makes a six-month miss about one in a million.
This keeps the schedule stateless and leaves last-compaction height or timestamp bookkeeping out of chainstate metadata.

Full chainstate compaction can take minutes on large databases.
Move `CCoinsViewDB::CompactFull()` to a named `utxocompact` one-shot background thread so validation only schedules the work.

When validation selects compaction after a full flush, the chainstate was just written and another write is less likely to be needed immediately.
The coins view destructor waits for completion, and a mutex prevents compaction from using `m_db` while `ResizeCache()` replaces it.
