Pull request description:
This PR adds an optional (off by default) `-avoidpartialspends` flag, which changes coin select to use output groups rather than outputs, where each output group corresponds to all outputs with the same destination.
It is a privacy improvement, as each time you spend some output, any other output that is publicly associated with the destination (address) will also be spent at the same time, at the cost of fee increase for cases where coin select without group restriction would find a more optimal set of coins (see example below).
For regular use without address reuse, this PR should have no effect on the user experience whatsoever; it only affects users who, for some reason, have multiple outputs with the same destination (i.e. address reuse).
Nodes with this turned off will still try to avoid partial spending, if the fee of the resulting transaction is not greater than the fee of the original transaction.
Example: a node has four outputs linked to two addresses `A` and `B`:
* 1.0 btc to `A`
* 0.5 btc to `A`
* 1.0 btc to `B`
* 0.5 btc to `B`
The node sends 0.2 btc to `C`. Without `-avoidpartialspends`, the following coin selection will occur:
* 0.5 btc to `A` or `B` is picked
* 0.2 btc is output to `C`
* 0.3 - fee is output to (unique change address)
With `-avoidpartialspends`, the following will instead happen:
* Both of (0.5, 1.0) btc to `A` or `B` is picked (one or the other pair)
* 0.2 btc is output to `C`
* 1.3 - fee is output to (unique change address)
As noted, the pro here is that, assuming nobody sends to the address after you spend from it, you will only ever use one address once. The con is that the transaction becomes slightly larger in this case, because it is overpicking outputs to adhere to the no partial spending rule.
This complements #10386, in particular it addresses @luke-jr and @gmaxwell's concerns in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10386#issuecomment-300667926 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10386#issuecomment-302361381.
Together with `-avoidreuse`, this fully addresses the concerns in #10065 I believe.

* random: Introduce std::shuffle alternative for FastRandomContext
3db746beb4
* random: change std::random_shuffle calls to std::shuffle
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm/random_shuffle (deprecated in c++14)
* random: change FastRandomContext std::random_shuffle calls to shuffle
* random: change last std::shuffle calls to Shuffle
std::shuffle doesn't accept only two arguments so we use FastRandomContext()
* llmq: use inherited FastRandomContext

* Calculate and store the number of bytes required to spend an input
* Store effective value, fee, and long term fee in CInputCoin
Have CInputCOin store effective value information. This includes the effective
value itself, the fee, and the long term fee for the input
* Implement Branch and Bound coin selection in a new file
Create a new file for coin selection logic and implement the BnB algorithm in it.
* Move output eligibility to a separate function
* Use a struct for output eligibility
Instead of specifying 3 parameters, use a struct for those parameters
in order to reduce the number of arguments to SelectCoinsMinConf.
* Remove coinselection.h -> wallet.h circular dependency
Changes CInputCoin to coinselection and to use CTransactionRef in
order to avoid a circular dependency. Also moves other coin selection
specific variables out of wallet.h to coinselectoin.h
* Add tests for the Branch and Bound algorithm
* Move current coin selection algorithm to coinselection.{cpp,h}
Moves the current coin selection algorithm out of SelectCoinsMinConf
and puts it in coinselection.{cpp,h}. The new function, KnapsackSolver,
instead of taking a vector of COutputs, will take a vector of CInputCoins
that is prepared by SelectCoinsMinConf.
* Move original knapsack solver tests to coinselector_tests.cpp
* Add a GetMinimumFeeRate function which is wrapped by GetMinimumFee
* Have SelectCoinsMinConf and SelectCoins use BnB or Knapsack and use it (partial)
Allows SelectCoinsMinConf and SelectCoins be able to switch between
using BnB or Knapsack for choosing coins.
Has SelectCoinsMinConf do the preprocessing necessary to support either
BnB or Knapsack. This includes calculating the filtering the effective
values for each input.
Uses BnB in CreateTransaction to find an exact match for the output.
If BnB fails, it will fallback to the Knapsack solver.
Dash specific note: just always use Knapsack in CreateTransaction.
* Benchmark BnB in the worst case where it exhausts
* Add a test to make sure that negative effective values are filtered
* More of 12747: Fix typos
