BlockValidationState
TestBlockValidity(
Chainstate& chainstate,
CBlock const& block,
bool check_pow,
bool check_merkle_root);For signets the challenge verification is skipped when check_pow is false.
Valid or Invalid state. This doesn't currently return an Error state, and shouldn't unless there is something wrong with the existing chainstate. (This is different from functions like AcceptBlock which can fail trying to save new data.)
