This PR refines the calculation of staking_loop_efficiency, which measures the percent of time that the staking loop is staking. It also adds the measure of staking_efficiency, which includes the combined effect of the quantized (masked) intervals covered by the miner, and also the actual weight applied in the staking loop versus the ideal weight. Note that this includes the effect of cooldown and UTXO's that are too small to stake.

It also makes several improvements to the miner loop and the functions called within to reduce the overhead in the situations where the wallet has a high number of transactions (mapwallet size is large) and/or the number of UTXO's is large.

This commit refactors the above two calls to remove the redundant
iterations through the entire wallet map and also unnecessary
iterations through the Block map.

It also removes unnecessary transaction and block file lookups
in the miner's CreateCoinStake in favor of using the mapBlockIndex
in memory, and does some other minor cleanup.
