25b7ab9 doc: Add release notes for -includeconf (Karl-Johan Alm)
0f0badd test: Test includeconf parameter. (Karl-Johan Alm)
629ff8c -includeconf=<path> support in config handler, for including external configuration files (Karl-Johan Alm)
Pull request description:
Fixes: #10071.
Done:
- adds `-includeconf=<path>`, where `<path>` is relative to `datadir` or to the path of the file being read, if in a file
- protects against circular includes
- updates help docs
~~~Thoughts:~~~
- ~~~I am not sure how to test this in a neat manner. Feedback on this would be nice. Will dig/think though.~~~

a5bca13 Bugfix: Include <memory> for std::unique_ptr (Luke Dashjr)
Pull request description:
Not sure why all these includes were missing, but it's breaking builds for some users:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652142
(Added to all files with a reference to `std::unique_ptr`)
Tree-SHA512: 8a2c67513ca07b9bb52c34e8a20b15e56f8af2530310d9ee9b0a69694dd05e02e7a3683f14101a2685d457672b56addec591a0bb83900a0eb8e2a43d43200509
Before this patch:
```
$ bitcoin-cli -testnet echo 'hello world'
error: Could not locate RPC credentials. No authentication cookie could be found, and RPC password is not set. See -rpcpassword and -stdinrpcpass. Configuration file: (/root/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf)
```
After this patch:
```
$ bitcoin-cli -testnet echo 'hello world'
error: Could not connect to the server 127.0.0.1:18332
Make sure the bitcoind server is running and that you are connecting to the correct RPC port.
```
This change should make it easier for users to make complete backups of wallets
because they can now just back up the specified `-wallet=<path>` path directly,
instead of having to back up the specified path as well as the transaction log
directory (for incompletely flushed wallets).
Another advantage of this change is that if two wallets are located in the same
directory, they will now use their own BerkeleyDB environments instead using a
shared environment. Using a shared environment makes it difficult to manage and
back up wallets separately because transaction log files will contain a mix of
data from all wallets in the environment.
bdb3231 Implements a virtual destructor on the BaseRequestHandler class. (251)
Pull request description:
Granted that there is no undefined behavior in the current implementation, this PR implements a virtual destructor on the BaseRequestHandler class to protect against undefined behavior in the event that an object of a potential future derived BaseRequestHandler class with a destructor is destroyed through a pointer to this base class.
This PR also fixes "_warning: delete called on 'BaseRequestHandler' that is abstract but has non-virtual destructor [-Wdelete-non-virtual-dtor]_" warnings in environments where the project is built with the `-Wsystem-headers` flag; or environments where the `-Wdelete-non-virtual-dtor` diagnostics flag fires from system headers.

Change `-conf`'s and others' help messages to indicate that relative path
values will be prefixed by the datadir path. This behavior is confusing when
attempting to specify a configuration file in the current directory with
`-conf=bitcoin.conf`, but loading the `bitcoin.conf` file in ~/.bitcoin
datadir.
Implements a virtual destructor on the BaseRequestHandler class to protect against undefined behavior in
the event that a derived BaseRequestHandler class has a destructor and an object of such derived class
is destroyed through a pointer to its base class.
Currently it's possible to accidentally type e.g.
bitcoin-cli -getinfo getbalance
and get an answer which can be confusing; the trialing arguments are
just ignored.
To avoid this, throw an error if the user provides arguments to
`-getinfo`.
This adds the infrastructure `BaseRequestHandler` class that takes care
of converting bitcoin-cli arguments into a JSON-RPC request object, and
converting the reply into a JSON object that can be shown as result.
This is subsequently used to handle the `-getinfo` option, which sends
a JSON-RPC batch request to the RPC server with
`["getnetworkinfo", "getblockchaininfo", "getwalletinfo"]`,
and after reply combines the result into what looks like a `getinfo`
result.
There have been some requests for a client-side `getinfo` and this
is my PoC of how to do it. If this is considered a good idea
some of the logic could be moved up to rpcclient.cpp and
used in the GUI console as well.

Raise RPC_WALLET_NOT_SPECIFIED instead of RPC_METHOD_NOT_FOUND when a required
wallet filename was not specified in an RPC call.
Also raise more specific RPC_WALLET_NOT_FOUND error instead of
RPC_INVALID_PARAMETER in case an invalid wallet was specified, for consistency.
05a55a6 Added EVENT_CFLAGS to test makefile to explicitly include libevent headers. (Karl-Johan Alm)
280a559 Added some simple tests for the RAII-style events. (Karl-Johan Alm)
7f7f102 Switched bitcoin-cli.cpp to use RAII unique pointers with deleters. (Karl-Johan Alm)
e5534d2 Added std::unique_ptr<> wrappers with deleters for libevent modules. (Karl-Johan Alm)
Sorry for the churn on this, but the current message (introduced in #9073)
isn't acceptable:
$ src/bitcoin-cli getinfo
rpc: couldn't connect to server
(make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port: -1 unknown)
Putting the error code after the words "RPC port" made me wonder whether
there was a port configuration issue.
This changes it to:
$ src/bitcoin-cli getinfo
error: couldn't connect to server: unknown (code -1)
(make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port)
4441018 Every main()/exit() should return/use one of EXIT_ codes instead of magic numbers (UdjinM6)
bd0de13 Fix exit codes: - `--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` (UdjinM6)
- `--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)
Implements #7442 by adding an option `-stdin` which reads
additional arguments from stdin, one per line.
For example
```bash
echo -e "mysecretcode\n120" | src/bitcoin-cli -stdin walletpassphrase
echo -e "walletpassphrase\nmysecretcode\n120" | src/bitcoin-cli -stdin
```
