blockchain: Refactor to use new chain view.
This refactors and simplifies the code in blockchain to use the new more
efficient chain views.

An overview of the logic changes are as follows:

- Remove inMainChain from block nodes since that can now be efficiently
  determined by using the chain view
- Track the best chain via a chain view instead of a single block node
  - Use the tip of the best chain view everywhere bestNode was used
  - Update chain view tip instead of updating best node
- Remove height map and associated lock in favor of chain view
  - Use chain view NodeByHeight everywhere height map was used
- Change reorg logic to use more efficient chain view fork finding logic
- Change block locator code over to use more efficient chain view logic
  - Remove now unused block-index-based block locator code
  - Move BlockLocator definition to chain.go
  - Move BlockLocatorFromHash and LatestBlockLocator to chain.go
    - Update both to use more efficient chain view logic
- Rework several functions to use chain view for main chain detection
  - fetchMainChainBlockByNode
  - BlockByHeight
  - MainChainHasBlock
  - findPreviousCheckpoint
  - IsCheckpointCandidate
