Merge #11121: TestNode tidyups
7148b74dc [tests] Functional tests must explicitly set num_nodes (John Newbery)
5448a1471 [tests] don't override __init__() in individual tests (John Newbery)
6cf094a02 [tests] Avoid passing around member variables in test_framework (John Newbery)
36b626867 [tests] TestNode: separate add_node from start_node (John Newbery)
be2a2ab6a [tests] fix - use rpc_timeout as rpc timeout (John Newbery)

Pull request description:

  Some additional tidyups after the introduction of TestNode:

  - commit 1 makes TestNode use the correct rpc timeout. This should have been included in #11077
  - commit 2 separates `add_node()` from `start_node()` as originally discussed here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10556#discussion_r121161453 with @kallewoof . The test writer no longer needs to assign to `self.nodes` when starting/stopping nodes.
  - commit 3 adds a `set_test_params()` method, so individual tests don't need to override `__init__()` and call `super().__init__()`

5448a1471d [tests] don't override __init__() in individual tests
Almost all test scripts currently need to override the __init__()
method. When they do that they need to call into super().__init__() as
the base class does some generic initialization.

This commit makes the base class __init__() call into set_test_params()
method. Individual test cases can override set_test_params() to setup
their test parameters.

36b6268670 [tests] TestNode: separate add_node from start_node
Separates the act of creating a TestNode object from starting the node.
The test_framework now keeps track of its list of TestNodes, and test
writers can call start_node() and stop_node() without having to update
the self.nodes list.

Merge #11126: Acquire cs_main lock before cs_wallet during wallet initialization
de9a1db Acquire cs_main lock before cs_wallet during wallet initialization (Russell Yanofsky)

Pull request description:

  `CWallet::MarkConflicted` may acquire the `cs_main` lock after `CWalletDB::LoadWallet` acquires the `cs_wallet` lock during wallet initialization. (`CWalletDB::LoadWallet` calls `ReadKeyValue` which calls `CWallet::LoadToWallet` which calls `CWallet::MarkConflicted`). This is the opposite order that `cs_main` and `cs_wallet` locks are acquired in the rest of the code, and so leads to `POTENTIAL DEADLOCK DETECTED` errors if bitcoin is built with `-DDEBUG_LOCKORDER`.

  This commit changes `CWallet::LoadWallet` (which calls `CWalletDB::LoadWallet`) to acquire both locks in the standard order.

  Error was reported by @luke-jr in https://botbot.me/freenode/bitcoin-core-dev/msg/90244330/

6af49dd Output a bit more information for fee calculation report. (Alex Morcos)
a54c7b9 Fix rounding errors in calculation of minimum change size (Alex Morcos)

Pull request description:

  Thanks to @juscamarena for reporting this.

  Please backport to 0.15.

  There was a potential rounding error where the fee for the change added to the fee for the original tx could be less than the fee for the tx including change.

  This is fixed in the first commit.  The second commit adds one more snippet of information in the fee calculation report.  I actually realized that there is more information that would be nice to report, but we can add that post 0.15.

  An open question is whether we should be returning failure if the test in line 2885 is hit or just resetting pick_new_inputs and continuing.  Originally I made it a failure to avoid any possible infinite loops.  But the case hit here is an example of where that logic possibly backfired.

Merge #11161: Remove redundant explicitly defined copy ctors

Pull request description:

  CFeeRate and CTxMemPoolEntry have explicitly defined copy ctors which has the same functionality as the implicit default copy ctors which would have been generated otherwise.

  Besides being redundant, it violates the rule of three (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_three_(C%2B%2B_programming) ).
  (Of course, the rule of three doesn't -really- cause a resource management issue here, but the reason for that is exactly that there is no need for an explicit copy ctor in the first place since no resources are being managed).

e7fe320 MOVEONLY: Fee functions wallet/wallet.cpp -> wallet/fees.cpp (Russell Yanofsky)
d97fe20 Move some static functions out of wallet.h/cpp (Russell Yanofsky)

Pull request description:

  This just moves some static wallet fee and init functions out of `wallet/wallet.cpp` and into new `wallet/fees.cpp` and `wallet/init.cpp` source files. There is one commit updating declarations and callers, followed by two MOVEONLY commits actually moving the function bodies.

  This change is desirable because wallet.h/cpp are monolithic and hard to navigate, so pulling things out and grouping together pieces of related functionality should improve the organization.

  Another motivation is the wallet process separation work in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10973, where (at least initially) parameter parsing and fee estimation are still done in the main process rather than the wallet process, and having functions that run in different processes scrambled up throughout wallet.cpp is unnecessarily confusing.

Merge #10798: [tests] [utils] test bitcoin-cli
c6ec4358a [tests] Add bitcoin_cli.py test script (John Newbery)
b23549f6e [tests] add TestNodeCLI class for calling bitcoin-cli for a node (John Newbery)

Pull request description:

  We don't test bitcoin-cli at all. That means that we can miss inconsistencies between the bitcoin-cli client and the RPC interface, such as #10698 and #10747. It also means that the various bitcoin-cli options and features are untested and regressions could be silently introduced.

  Let's fix that.

  This PR adds bitcoin-cli testing in the python functional test_framework:

  1. Add a bitcoin_cli.py test script that tests bitcoin-cli. At the moment it only tests that the result of `getinfo` is the same if you run it as an RPC or through bitcoin-cli, but can easily be extended to test additional bitcoin-cli features

  **EDIT: `--usecli` option is moved to a separate PR. This PR now only covers the bitcoin_cli.py test.**

  2. ~Add a `--usecli` option to the test framework. This changes the test to use bitcoin-cli for all RPC calls instead of using direct HTTP requests. This is somewhat experimental. It works for most tests, but there are some cases where it can't work transparently because:~
  - ~the testcase is asserting on a specific error code, and bitcoin-cli returns a different error code from the direct RPC~
  - ~we're sending a very large RPC request (eg `submitblock`) and it can't be serialized into a shell bitcoin-cli call.~

  ~I think that even though `--usecli` doesn't work on all tests, it's still a useful experimental feature. Future potential enhancements:~
  - ~enhance the framework to automatically skip tests that are known to fail with bitcoin-cli if the `--usecli` option is used.~
  - ~run a subset of tests in Travis with `-usecli`~

  This builds on and requires the `TestNode` PR #10711 . As an aside, this is a good demonstration of how tidy it is to add additional features/interfaces now that test node logic/state is encapsulated in a TestNode class.

  Addresses #10791

de9a1db2ed Acquire cs_main lock before cs_wallet during wallet initialization
CWallet::MarkConflicted may acquire the cs_main lock after
CWalletDB::LoadWallet acquires the cs_wallet lock during wallet initialization.
(CWalletDB::LoadWallet calls ReadKeyValue which calls CWallet::LoadToWallet
which calls CWallet::MarkConflicted). This is the opposite order that cs_main
and cs_wallet locks are acquired in the rest of the code, and so leads to
POTENTIAL DEADLOCK DETECTED errors if bitcoin is built with -DDEBUG_LOCKORDER.

This commit changes CWallet::LoadWallet (which calls CWalletDB::LoadWallet) to
acquire both locks in the standard order. It also fixes some tests that were
acquiring wallet and main locks out of order and failed with the new locking in
CWallet::LoadWallet.

Merge #10997: RPC: Add option -stdinrpcpass to bitcoin-cli to allow RPC password to be read from standard input
79191f5 Add option -stdinrpcpass to allow RPC password to be read from standard input (Joe Harvell)

Pull request description:

  Add a new command-line option to bitcoin-cli that allows the RPC password to be read from standard intput.  The purpose of this option is to allow secure RPC password input to bitcoin-cli through an external program that is capable of disabling terminal echo.

  This option works similarly to the existing -stdin option, and also works when combined with that option.

  I have also written a simple ncurses based program that disables echo, gets input from the terminal and writes to standard output.  I couldn't find an existing askpass program that doesn't require graphics libraries, since they are primarily used for getting passwords in a graphics environment.  Unless someone can point out a suitable existing askpass program, I plan to submit my ncurses program to the contrib directory separately from this pull request.

Merge #11068: qa: Move wait_until to util
08ce33f8e qa: Move wait_until to util (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  This moves `wait_until` to `util.py` to make it generally available to python tests.
  Also, `wait_until` now takes an optional lock that is acquired while testing the predicate.
  Previously the lock was always acquired, even when it was not necessary, cf. `disconnect_ban.py`.
