2222bf0 qt: Poll ShutdownTimer after init is done (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
The shutdown process has started in `requestShutdown`, but initialize will happily continue with `initializeResult` and start threads late in the shutdown progess. Deleting this running thread will crash the application according to the qt docs:
e5033a5c9b/src/corelib/thread/qthread.cpp (L412-L415)
Potential fix for https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/12372#issuecomment-363642332
This reverts #11831 for now and hopefully restores the previous behaviour.

9ad6746ccd Use static_cast instead of C-style casts for non-fundamental types (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
A C-style cast is equivalent to try casting in the following order:
1. `const_cast(...)`
2. `static_cast(...)`
3. `const_cast(static_cast(...))`
4. `reinterpret_cast(...)`
5. `const_cast(reinterpret_cast(...))`
By using `static_cast<T>(...)` explicitly we avoid the possibility of an unintentional and dangerous `reinterpret_cast`. Furthermore `static_cast<T>(...)` allows for easier grepping of casts.
For a more thorough discussion, see ["ES.49: If you must use a cast, use a named cast"](https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines#es49-if-you-must-use-a-cast-use-a-named-cast) in the C++ Core Guidelines (Stroustrup & Sutter).

This resolves#12229 which pointed out a shutdown deadlock due to
scheduler/checkqueue having been shut down while network message
processing is still running.
This makes all include paths in the GUI absolute.
Many changes are involved as every single source file in
src/qt/ assumes to be able to use relative includes.

Alternative to #10818, alternative solution to #10815.
After this change: All the AppInit steps before and inclusive
AppInitLockDataDirectory must not have Shutdown() called in case of
failure. Only when AppInitMain fails, Shutdown should be called.
Changes the GUI and bitcoind code to consistently do this.
This changes the logging categories to boolean flags instead of strings.
This simplifies the acceptance testing by avoiding accessing a scoped
static thread local pointer to a thread local set of strings. It
eliminates the only use of boost::thread_specific_ptr outside of
lockorder debugging.
This change allows log entries to be directed to multiple categories
and makes it easy to change the logging flags at runtime (e.g. via
an RPC, though that isn't done by this commit.)
It also eliminates the fDebug global.
Configuration of unknown logging categories now produces a warning.
- Change initializeResult(int) to initializeResult(bool) to avoid
implicit type conversion.
- Use EXIT_FAILURE and EXIT_SUCCESS instead of magic numbers.
- Remove the argument from shutdownResult(int); it was called with a
constant argument.

Make splash screen queue its own deletion when it receives the finished
command, instead of relying on WA_DeleteOnClose which doesn't work under
these circumstances.
Make ownership of the QThread object clear, so that the RPCConsole
can wait for the executor thread to quit before shutdown is called. This
increases overall thread safety, and prevents some objects from leaking
on exit.
- `--help`, `--version` etc should exit with `0` i.e. no error ("not enough args" case should still trigger an error)
- error reading config file should exit with `1`
Slightly refactor AppInitRPC/AppInitRawTx to return standard exit codes (EXIT_FAILURE/EXIT_SUCCESS) or CONTINUE_EXECUTION (-1)
The `pickDataDirectory()` function was calling `exit(0)` to quit
the application when the user closes the dialog without choosing
a data directory.
This is a bad idea because a background thread is created (to
check free space on the drive of the currently selected datadir).
The thread is not stopped and unwound properly, resulting in a potential
race condition somewhere deep in Qt.
So replace the `exit()` by a boolean return value, and let the
stack unwind normally.
