The largest sensible size for a locator is log in the number of blocks.
But, as noted by Coinr8d on BCT a maximum size message could encode a
hundred thousand locators. If height were used to limit the messages
that could open new attacks where peers on long low diff forks would
get disconnected and end up stuck.
Ideally, nodes first first learn to limit the size of locators they
send before limiting what would be processed, but common implementations
back off with an exponent of 2 and have an implicit limit of 2^32
blocks, so they already cannot produce locators over some size.
This sets the limit to an absurdly high amount of 101 in order to
maximize compatibility with existing software.
Calls ReloadDbEnv after encrypting the wallet so that the database
environment is flushed, closed, and reopened to prevent unencrypted
keys from being saved on disk.
Adds a ReloadDbEnv function to BerkeleyEnvironment in order to close all Db
instances, closes the environment, resets it, and then reopens
the BerkeleyEnvironment.
Also adds a ReloadDbEnv function to BerkeleyDatabase that calls
BerkeleyEnvironment's ReloadDbEnv.

The test for gettxoutsetinfo in rpc_blockchain.py verifies that the
result is the same as before after invalidating and reconsidering a
block. The comparison has to exclude the 'disk_size' field, though, as
it is not deterministic.
Instead of comparing all the other fields for equality, this change
explicitly removes the 'disk_size' field and then compares the full
objects. This makes the intent more explicit (compare everything except
for disk_size, not compare just a given list of fields) and also the
code simpler.

faab63111d shutdown: Stop threads before resetting ptrs (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
On shutdown some threads would continue to run after or during a pointer reset. This leads to occasional segfaults on shutdown.
Fix this by resetting the smart pointers after all threads that might read from them have been stopped.
This should fix:
* A segfault in the txindex thread, that occurs when the txindex destructor is done, but the thread was not yet stopped (as this is done in the base index destructor)
* A segfault in the scheduler thread, which dereferences conman. (e.g. CheckForStaleTipAndEvictPeers)

When verifying blocks at startup, the progress is printed in 10%
increments to logs. When -checklevel=4, however, the second half
of the verification (connecting the blocks again) does not log the
progress anymore. (It is still computed and shown in the UI, but
not printed to logs.)
This change makes the behaviour consistent, by adding the missing
progress logging also for level-4 checks.
ParseHashV validates the length and encoding of the string and throws
an informative RPC error on failure, which is as good or better than
these alternative calls.
Note I switched ParseHashV to check string length first, because
IsHex tests that the length is even, and an error like:
"must be of length 64 (not 63, for X)" is much more informative than
"must be hexadecimal string (not X)"
23fbbb100f wallet: sum ancestors rather than taking max in output groups (Karl-Johan Alm)
Pull request description:
This is pointed out in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12257#discussion_r204549758.
Basically, the ancestors gives an indication as to how many ancestors the resulting transaction will have, which is more precise when summing up the values, rather than taking the maximum, since all the coins in the group will become ancestors if selected.

faa24441ec policy: Remove promiscuousmempoolflags (MarcoFalke)

It seems odd to clutter validation code with features that can only ever be used for testing (testnet or regtest). Removing that test-only code makes the mempool logic less painful to understand and easier to reason about when changed or refactored in the future.

93de2891fa wallet: assert to ensure accuracy of CMerkleTx::GetBlocksToMaturity (Ben Woosley)
Pull request description:
According to my understanding, it should not be possible for coinbase
transactions to be conflicting, thus it should not be possible for
GetDepthInMainChain to return a negative result. If it did, this would
also result in innacurate results for GetBlocksToMaturity due to the
math therein. asserting ensures accuracy.

a1a998cf24 wallet: Fix backupwallet for multiwallets (Daniel Kraft)
Pull request description:
`backupwallet` was broken for multiwallets in their own directories (i.e. something like `DATADIR/wallets/mywallet/wallet.dat`). In this case, the backup would use `DATADIR/wallets/wallet.dat` as source file and not take the specific wallet's directory into account.
This led to either an error during the backup (if the wrong source file was not present) or would silently back up the wrong wallet; especially the latter behaviour can be quite bad for users.

Pull request description:
After multiple wallets became supported, wallet-related log messages became ambiguous as to which wallet they were being emitted by.
This pull request adds a `CWallet::WalletLogPrintf` function to be used when logging wallet-specific events. This function prepends the wallet's name to the log message and forwards it to `LogPrintf`
