(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31065#issuecomment-2417770876)
By default, the RPC interface can only be accessed [locally](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/JSON-RPC-interface.md#security). However, a user may want to keep the RPC local and enable the REST interface with [`rest=1`](url) to allow public access to available [endpoints](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/REST-interface.md).

This pull request adds a basic endpoint to the REST interface for broadcasting transactions. As long as Bitcoin Core supports the REST

Changes since my last review: removing the `-testdatadir` arg from `bench-bitcoin` and reusing it from the utils `setup_common`.

I was reading the comment just above this one i.e “Check whether the failure was caused by a non-mandatory script verification check, such as non-standard DER encodings or non-null dummy arguments”.

I think the 2 examples given in this comment are actually “mandatory-script-verify-flag”, i.e CONSENSUS and not NOT_STANDARD:
- DER encodings (BIP66 and `SCRIPT_VERIFY_DERSIG`), interpreter flag is set in `GetBlockScriptFlags` https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/validation.cpp#L237

I think we should have further tests that a non-standard transaction which is consensus valid before an activation height, is considered as consensus invalid after the activation height.

E.g on regtest, the deployment height are always active unless overridden. I don’t think we do that in invalid_txs.py` currently: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/test/functional/p2p_invalid_tx.py#L28

While the build likely hasn't decided how to handle casts, the benchmarks are looking quite promising already:

⚠️ davemiketony opened an issue: "Building libsecp256k1 fails on OpenBSD 7.6"
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/31106)
### Is there an existing issue for this?

- [X] I have searched the existing issues

### Current behaviour

Building libsecp256k1 by following the instructions located within `src/secp256k1` fails on OpenBSD 7.6 (the latest OpenBSD release).

The instructions fail during the autogen step with errors mentioning libtool.

### Expected behaviour

A successful build of a libsecp256k1 is possible by strictly following the instructions found within `src/secp256k1/README.md`.

### Steps to reproduce
