When a -nofoo option is seen, instead of adding it to a separate
set of negated args, set the arg as being an empty vector of strings.
This changes the behaviour in some ways:
- -nofoo=0 still sets foo=1 but no longer treats it as a negated arg
- -nofoo=1 -foo=2 has GetArgs() return [2] rather than [2,0]
- "foo=2 \n -nofoo=1" in a config file no longer returns [2,0], just [0]
- GetArgs returns an empty vector for negated args

4f872b2450 Add additional tests for GetBoolArg() (Evan Klitzke)
Pull request description:
This change explicitly enable tracking negated options in the option parser. A negated option is one passed with a `-no` prefix. For example, `-nofoo` is the negated form of `-foo`. Negated options were originally added in the 0.6 release.
The change here allows code to explicitly distinguish between cases like `-nofoo` and `-foo=0`, which was not possible previously. The option parser does not have any changed semantics as a result of this change, and existing code will parse options just as it did before.
The motivation for this change is to provide a way to disable options that are otherwise not boolean options. For example, the `-debuglogfile` option is normally interpreted as a string, where the value is the log file name. With this change a user can pass in `-nodebuglogfile` and the code can see that it was explicitly negated, and use that to disable the log file.
This change originally split out from #12689.

This commit adds tracking for negated arguments. This change will be used in a
future commit that allows disabling the debug.log file using -nodebuglogfile.
8674e74 Provide relevant error message if datadir is not writable. (murrayn)
Pull request description:
If the --datadir exists, but is not writable, the current error message on startup is 'Cannot obtain a lock on data directory foo. Bitcoin Core is probably already running.' This is misleading.
I believe this PR addresses #11668, although the issue is not Windows-specific.

* Z is the zone designator for the zero UTC offset.
* T is the delimiter used to separate date and time.
This makes it clear for the end-user that the date/time logged is
specified in UTC and not in the local time zone.
c99a3c32c8 [tests] util_tests.cpp: actually check ignored args (Anthony Towns)
Pull request description:
An array with 7 elements was setup for checking argument parsing, but
was passed to ParseParamaeters with argc=5, meaning the interpretation
of the last two arguments was never actually checked.

An array with 7 elements was setup for checking argument parsing, but
was passed to ParseParamaeters with argc=5, meaning the interpretation
of the last two arguments was never actually checked.
On msvc14, int literal '-2147483648' is invalid, because '2147483648' is unsigned type and cant't apply minus operator to unsigned type.
To define the int literal correctly, use '-2147483647 - 1' formula that is also used to define INT_MIN in limits.h.
There are only a few uses of `insecure_random` outside the tests.
This PR replaces uses of insecure_random (and its accompanying global
state) in the core code with an FastRandomContext that is automatically
seeded on creation.
This is meant to be used for inner loops. The FastRandomContext
can be in the outer scope, or the class itself, then rand32() is used
inside the loop. Useful e.g. for pushing addresses in CNode or the fee
rounding, or randomization for coin selection.
As a context is created per purpose, thus it gets rid of
cross-thread unprotected shared usage of a single set of globals, this
should also get rid of the potential race conditions.
- I'd say TxMempool::check is not called enough to warrant using a special
fast random context, this is switched to GetRand() (open for
discussion...)
- The use of `insecure_rand` in ConnectThroughProxy has been replaced by
an atomic integer counter. The only goal here is to have a different
credentials pair for each connection to go on a different Tor circuit,
it does not need to be random nor unpredictable.
- To avoid having a FastRandomContext on every CNode, the context is
passed into PushAddress as appropriate.
There remains an insecure_random for test usage in `test_random.h`.
Add error and range-checking parsers for unsigned 32 and 64 bit numbers.
The 32-bit variant is required for parsing sequence numbers from the
command line in `bitcoin-tx` (see #8164 for discussion). I've thrown in
the 64-bit variant as a bonus, as I'm sure it will be needed at some
point.
Also adds tests, and updates `developer-notes.md`.
BerkeleyDB dump files have key and value lines indented.
The salvage code passes these to ParseHex as-is.
Check this in the tests (should just pass with current code).
