+ * @brief Container for safely constructing Blockchain and tx_memory_pool classes
+ * 
+ * The reason for this class existing is that the constructors for both Blockchain and
+ * tx_memory_pool take a reference for tx_memory_pool and Blockchain, respectively. Because of this
+ * circular reference, it is annoying/unsafe to construct these normally. This class guarantees that
+ * we don't make any silly mistakes with pointers / dangling references.
