Actions:
1. Remove unused functions from misc_os_dependent.h
2. Move three remaining functions, get_gmt_time, get_ns_count, and get_tick_count into time_helper.h
3. Remove unused functions from time_helper.h
4. Refactor get_ns_count and get_internet_time_str and get_time_interval_string
5. Remove/add includes as needed

Here lies dozens of unused files. This commit is ONLY file deletions except
for the removing of a couple of #includes and removing filenames from CmakeLists

Implements view tags as proposed by @UkoeHB in MRL issue
https://github.com/monero-project/research-lab/issues/73
At tx construction, the sender adds a 1-byte view tag to each
output. The view tag is derived from the sender-receiver
shared secret. When scanning for outputs, the receiver can
check the view tag for a match, in order to reduce scanning
time. When the view tag does not match, the wallet avoids the
more expensive EC operations when deriving the output public
key using the shared secret.
* `IWallet.h` hasn't been touched since 2014, and has been replaced by `src/wallet/api/wallet2_api.h`
* `INode.h` is in a similar situation with `src/p2p/net_node.h`

- grab an lmdb db_rtxn_guard to ensure consistent data from the db
- fixed on_getblockhash error resp when requested height >= blockchain height
- left functions that read shared memory untouched for now
It avoids dividing by 8 when deserializing a tx, which is a slow
operation, and multiplies by 8 when verifying and extracing the
amount, which is much faster as well as less frequent
In this repo, `boost::interprocess` was being used soley to make `uint32_t` operations atomic. So I replaced each instance of
`boost::interprocess::ipcdetail::atomic(...)32` with `std::atomic` methods. I replaced member declarations as applicable. For example,
when I needed to change a `volatile uint32_t` into a `std::atomic<uint32_t>`. Sometimes, a member was being used a boolean flag, so
I replaced it with `std::atomic<bool>`.
You may notice that I didn't touch `levin_client_async.h`. That is because this file is entirely unused and will be deleted in PR monero-project#8211.
Additional changes from review:
* Make some local variables const
* Change postfix operators to prefix operators where value was not need
