Merge bitcoin#31534: coins: warn on shutdown for big UTXO set flushes
5709718 coins: warn on shutdown for big UTXO set flushes (Lőrinc)
Pull request description:
Split out of bitcoin#30611 (comment)
Setting a large `-dbcache` size postpones the index writes until the coins cache size exceeds the specified limit. This causes the final flush after manual termination to seemingly hang forever (e.g. tens of minutes for 20 GiB); Now that the `dbcache` upper cap has been lifted, this will become even more apparent, so a warning will be shown when large UTXO sets are flushed (currently >1 GiB), such as:
> 2024-12-18T18:25:03Z Flushed fee estimates to fee_estimates.dat.
> 2024-12-18T18:25:03Z [warning] Flushing large (1 GiB) UTXO set to disk, it may take several minutes
> 2024-12-18T18:25:09Z Shutdown: done

You can reproduce it by starting `bitcoind` with a large `-dbcache`:
> mkdir demo && cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release && cmake --build build -j$(nproc) && build/src/bitcoind -datadir=demo **-dbcache=10000**
Waiting until the used memory is over 1 GiB
> 2024-12-18T18:25:02Z UpdateTip: [...] progress=0.069009 cache=**1181.1MiB**(8827981txo)
And cancelling the process from the terminal:
> ^C2024-12-18T18:25:03Z tor: Thread interrupt
> [...]
> 2024-12-18T18:25:03Z **[warning] Flushing large (1 GiB) UTXO set to disk, it may take several minutes*
