Description
The methods that conceptually mutate the state (even if using raw pointers) should take
&mut selfto let the compiler enforce the ownership rules correctly. This way it will be harder for us to misuse the methods. We also get rid of the#[allow(clippy::mut_from_ref)].The only exception is
BlockIndex.set_index_for_hash(because we pass a&selfclosure to it). This should be fine as we only use it insideadd_index_entry.Polished a bit the docstrings and fixed two conditional compilation warnings for Windows.
