Pull request description:

  This should have no effect on mainnet users, but simplifies testing, where config settings are currently ignored with only a warning. Fix this by making it an error.

  Issues:
  *  bitcoin client 0.17.0 ignores wallet's name (file) #14523

Merge #15193: Default -whitelistforcerelay to off
a36d97d866 Default -whitelistforcerelay to off (Suhas Daftuar)

Pull request description:

  No one seems to use this "feature", and at any rate the behavior of relaying transactions when they violate local policy is error-prone, if we ever consider changing the ban behavior of our software from one version to the next.

  Defaulting this to off means that users who use -whitelist won't be unexpectedly surprised by this interaction.  If anyone is still relying on this feature, it can still be explicitly turned on.

161e8d40a4 RPC: Add new getzmqnotifications method.
This adds a new RPC method "getzmqnotifications", which returns
information about all active ZMQ notification endpoints.  This is useful
for software that layers on top of bitcoind, so it can verify that
ZeroMQ is enabled and also figure out where it should listen.

Merge #12729: Get rid of ambiguous OutputType::NONE value
1e46d8a Get rid of ambiguous OutputType::NONE value (Russell Yanofsky)

Pull request description:

  Based on suggestion by @sipa https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12119#issuecomment-357982763

  After #12119, the NONE output type was overloaded to refer to either an output type that couldn't be parsed, or to an automatic change output mode.  This change drops the NONE enum and uses a simple bool to indicate parse failure, and a new CHANGE_AUTO enum to refer the change output type.

  This change is almost a pure refactoring except it makes RPCs reject empty string ("") address types instead of treating them like they were unset. This simplifies the parsing code a little bit and could prevent RPC usage mistakes. It's noted in the release notes.

  Follows up #12408 by @MarcoFalke

952d821 Make CScript -> CScriptID conversion explicit (Pieter Wuille)

Pull request description:

  Currently our wallet code will treat bare multisig outputs (meaning scriptPubKeys with multiple public keys + `OP_CHECKMULTISIG` operator in it) as ours without the user asking for it, as long as all private keys in it are in our wallet.

  This is a pointless feature. As it only works when all private keys are in one place, it's useless compared to single key outputs (P2PK, P2PKH, P2WPKH, P2SH-P2WPKH), and worse in terms of space, cost, UTXO size, and ability to test (due to lack of address format for them).

  Furthermore, they are problematic in that producing a list of all `scriptPubKeys` we accept is not tractable (it involves all combinations of all public keys that are ours). In further wallet changes I'd like to move to a model where all scriptPubKeys that are treated as ours are explicit, rather than defined by whatever keys we have. The current behavior of the wallet is very hard to model in such a design, so I'd like to get rid of it.

  I think there are two options:
  * Remove it entirely (do not ever accept bare multisig outputs as ours, unless watched)
  * Only accept bare multisig outputs in situations where the P2SH version of that output would also be acceptable

  This PR implements the first option. The second option was explored in #12874.

045eeb8870 Rename account to label where appropriate
This change only updates strings and adds RPC aliases, but should simplify the
implementation of address labels in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7729, by getting renaming out of the
way and letting it focus on semantics.

The difference between accounts and labels is that labels apply only to
addresses, while accounts apply to both addresses and transactions
(transactions have "from" and "to" accounts). The code associating accounts
with transactions is clumsy and unreliable so we would like get rid of it.

fa06dfce0 [rpc] createrawtransaction: Accept sorted outputs (MarcoFalke)
8acd25d85 rpc: Allow typeAny in RPCTypeCheck (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  The second parameter of the `createrawtransaction` is a dictionary of the outputs. This comes with at least two drawbacks:

  * In case of duplicate keys, either of them might silently disappear, with no user feedback at all. A user needs to make other mistakes, but this could eventually lead to abnormal tx fees.
  * A dictionary does not guarantee that keys are sorted. Again, a user needs to keep this in mind, as it could eventually lead to excessive tx fees.

  Even though my scenario of loss-of-funds is unlikely to happen, I see it as a inconvenience that should be fixed.
