add a flag that (if unset) zeroes sigchecks reported by VerifyScript

Summary

We want all the sigchecks counting/caching machinery to be functioning and in
place before the upgrade activation, however we don't actually want sigchecks
to be nonzero until then:

  • prior to upgrade the sigchecks total could be too large for the cache, and we definitely want high-sigchecks txns to be cached.
  • it's easier to have the block sigchecks limit fully in place, but then have nothing counting towards it

Effectively, we will be able to simply flip on this flag to cause the
activation of sigchecks limits in consensus and in block template creation.

This flag can be removed (always-on) as soon as the upgrade is past and we
impose a retroactive consensus sigchecks limit.

Depends on D4920

Accepting, but consider doing the xor thing and that this may end up requiring changes due to changes requested in parents.

You can xor the expected result so that you know you always set to something different.

remove dependency on D4834 , use xor

@deadalnix returning for review due to slight changes. Note after our discussion that ScriptExecutionMetrics will remain a pure struct (as it is in this diff) since accumulation etc will happen elsewhere.

It would reverse the metric setting logic as to avoid a double negation. Everything else is good to go.

I would reverse the logic as follow:

1/ Set metricsOut as 0.
2/ Compute things using metrics.
3/ If the flag is set, metricsOut = metrics; before success.

This is more straightforward.

The ^ 0 isn't really necessary, but it's no big deal either way.

If there were other things in metrics, I wouldn't be wanting to zero them all with this flag. It's the same for now yeah, but I think the current way is more clear.

I won't block for this, but I still think the double negation is a bit confusing.
