e9a1881b90 refactor: add a function for determining if a block is pruned or not (Karl-Johan Alm)
Pull request description:
The check for whether a block is pruned or not is sufficiently obscure that it deserves a macro. It is also used in 2 places, ~~with more coming, e.g. #10757~~ (turns out it was a move, not an addition).

80b4910f7d wallet: Use shared pointer to retain wallet instance (João Barbosa)
Pull request description:
Currently there are 3 places where it makes sense to retain a wallet shared pointer:
- `vpwallets`;
- `interfaces::Wallet` interface instance - used by the UI;
- wallet RPC functions - given by `GetWalletForJSONRPCRequest`.
The way it is now it is possible to have, for instance, listunspent RPC and in parallel unload the wallet (once #13111 is merged) without blocking. Once the RPC finishes, the shared pointer will release the wallet.
It is also possible to get all existing wallets without blocking because the caller keeps a local list of shared pointers.
This is mostly relevant for wallet unloading.
This PR replaces #11402.

It returns per block statistics about several things. It should be easy to add more if people think of other things to add or remove some if I went too far (but once written, why not keep it? EDIT: answer: not to test or maintain them).
The currently available options are: minfee,maxfee,totalfee,minfeerate,maxfeerate,avgfee,avgfeerate,txs,ins,outs (EDIT: see updated list in the rpc call documentation)
For the x axis, one can use height or block.nTime (I guess I could add mediantime if there's interest [EDIT: nobody showed interest but I implemented mediantime nonetheless, in fact there's no distinction between x or y axis anymore, that's for the caller to judge]).
To calculate fees, -txindex is required.

This removes the need to include rpc/blockchain.cpp in order to put
GetDifficulty under test. GetDifficulty was called in two ways:
* with a guaranteed non-null blockindex
* with no argument
Change the latter case to be provided chainActive.Tip() explicitly.
Updating the input explicitly requires the caller to present a mutable
input, which more clearly communicates the effects and intent of the method.
In most cases, this input is already immediately available and need not be

labels are associated with addresses (rather than addresses being
associated with labels, as was the case with accounts). The
getlabeladdress does not make sense in this model, so remove it.
getaccountaddress is still supported for one release as the accounts
API is deprecated.

Adds a new command `sethdseed` which allows you to either set or generate a new HD seed to be used. A new keypool can be generated or the original one kept and new keys added to the keypool will come from the new HD seed.
Wallets that are not HD will be upgraded to be version FEATURE_HD_SPLIT when the `sethdseed` RPC command is used.
I have also add some tests for this.
Additionally `-upgradewallet` can now be used to upgrade a wallet from non-HD to HD. When it is used for such an upgrade, the keypool will be regenerated.

Although this code is no longer ever sent back after removing safe mode,
it would be unwise to remove it from the header.
For one, it would be bad to accidentally re-use the number.
Also some API documentation / bindings are directly generated from the .h
file - this is why the "Aliases for backward compatibility" are there. We don't
want to break code that relies on this error code existing, even if it's never
generated.
So keep it around but move it to a reserved section.

Add label API to wallet RPC.
This is one step towards #3816 ("Remove bolt-on account system") although it doesn't
actually remove anything yet.
These initially mirror the account functions, with the following differences:
- These functions aren't DEPRECATED in the help
- Help mentions 'label' instead of accounts. In the language used, labels are
associated with addresses, instead of addresses associated with labels. (unlike
with accounts.)
- Labels have no balance
- No balances in `listlabels`
- `listlabels` has no minconf or watchonly argument
- Like in the GUI, labels can be set on any address, not just receiving addreses
- Unlike accounts, labels can be deleted.
Being unable to delete them is a common annoyance (see #1231).
Currently only by reassigning all addresses using `setlabel`, but an explicit
call `deletelabel` which assigns all address to the default label may make
sense.
Thanks to Pierre Rochard for test fixes.

Pull request description:
Rationale (from Bjarne Stroustrup's ["C++11 FAQ"](http://www.stroustrup.com/C++11FAQ.html#enum)):
>
> The enum classes ("new enums", "strong enums") address three problems with traditional C++ enumerations:
>
> * conventional enums implicitly convert to int, causing errors when someone does not want an enumeration to act as an integer.
> * conventional enums export their enumerators to the surrounding scope, causing name clashes.
> * the underlying type of an enum cannot be specified, causing confusion, compatibility problems, and makes forward declaration impossible.
>
> The new enums are "enum class" because they combine aspects of traditional enumerations (names values) with aspects of classes (scoped members and absence of conversions).

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 that change 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.

There is some discussion about this issue here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9693#issuecomment-278701473. I think another good change along these lines would be to make `GetSizeOfVarInt` and `WriteVarInt` throw exceptions if they are passed numbers less than 0 to serialize. But unlike this change, that would be a change in runtime behavior, and need more consideration.

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.

fc44cb108 [RPC] Add list of child transactions to verbose output of getrawmempool (Conor Scott)
Pull request description:
`bitcoin-cli getrawmempool true` only lists a transaction's parents in the `depends` field. This change adds a `spentby` field to the json response, which lists the transaction's children in the mempool.
Currently the only way to find child transactions is to use `getrawmempool` or make another call to `getmempooldescendants` and search the response for transactions that list the parent_txid in the `depends` list, which is inefficient.
This change allows direct lookup of children.

5f605e1 Make signrawtransaction accept P2SH-P2WSH redeemscripts (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
This is a quick fix for #12418, which is a regression in 0.16.
It permits specifying just the inner redeemscript to let `signrawtransaction` succeed. This inner redeemscript is already reported by `addmultisigaddress` & co.
#11708 uses a different approach, where `listunspent` reports both inner & outer redeemscript, but requires both to be provided to `signrawtransaction`. Part of #11708 is still needed even in combination with this PR however, as currently the inner redeemscript isn't reported by `listunspent`.

Pull request description:
There were some RPC/RPC options deprecated in v0.16. Those can now be removed from master since v0.16 has been branched.
- `estimatefee` RPC has been removed. The `feature_fee_estimation.py` test has been updated to remove the RPC, but doesn't yet have good coverage of the replacement RPC `estimatesmartfee`. Improving the test coverage should be done in a new PR. (#11031)
- the `errors` field returned by `getmininginfo` has been deprecated and replaced by a `warning` field. (#10858)
- providing addresses as inputs to `createmultisig` has been deprecated. Users should use `addmultisigaddress` instead (#11415)
- The return format from `addmultisigaddress` has changed (#11415)
`getwitnessaddress` was also deprecated in v0.16 and can be removed, but many tests are using that RPC, so it's a larger job to remove. It should be removed in a separate PR (possibly after #11739 and #11398 have been merged and the segwit test code tidied up)

1df206f Disallow using addresses in createmultisig (Andrew Chow)
Pull request description:
This PR should be the last part of #7965.
This PR makes createmultisig only accept public keys and marks the old functionality of accepting addresses as deprecated.
It also splits `_createmultisig_redeemscript` into two functions, `_createmultisig_getpubkeys` and `_createmultisig_getaddr_pubkeys`. `_createmultisig_getpubkeys` retrieves public keys from the RPC parameters and `_createmultisig_getaddr_pubkeys` retrieves addresses' public keys from the wallet. `_createmultisig_getaddr_pubkeys` requires the wallet and is only used by `addwitnessaddress` (except when `createmultisig` is used in deprecated mode).
`addwitnessaddress`'s API is also changed. Instead of returning just an address, it now returns the same thing as `createmultisig`: a JSON object with two fields, address and redeemscript.

fa1e69e qa: Sync with validationinterface queue in sync_mempools (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Commit e545dedf72 moved `TransactionAddedToMempool` to the background scheduler thread. Thus, adding a transaction to the mempool will no longer add it to the wallet immediately. Functional tests, that `sync_mempools` and then call into wallet rpcs will race against the scheduler thread.
Fix that race by flushing the scheduler queue.

Pull request description:
This implements a minimum viable implementation of SegWit wallet support, based on top of #11389, and includes part of the functionality from #11089.
Two new configuration options are added:
* `-addresstype`, with options `legacy`, `p2sh`, and `bech32`. It controls what kind of addresses are produced by `getnewaddress`, `getaccountaddress`, and `createmultisigaddress`.
* `-changetype`, with the same options, and by default equal to `-addresstype`, that controls what kind of change is used.
All wallet private and public keys can be used for any type of address. Support for address types dependent on different derivation paths will need a major overhaul of how our internal detection of outputs work. I expect that that will happen for a next major version.
The above also applies to imported keys, as having a distinction there but not for normal operations is a disaster for testing, and probably for comprehension of users. This has some ugly effects, like needing to associate the provided label to `importprivkey` with each style address for the corresponding key.
To deal with witness outputs requiring a corresponding redeemscript in wallet, three approaches are used:
* All SegWit addresses created through `getnewaddress` or multisig RPCs explicitly get their redeemscripts added to the wallet file. This means that downgrading after creating a witness address will work, as long as the wallet file is up to date.
* All SegWit keys in the wallet get an _implicit_ redeemscript added, without it being written to the file. This means recovery of an old backup will work, as long as you use new software.
* All keypool keys that are seen used in transactions explicitly get their redeemscripts added to the wallet files. This means that downgrading after recovering from a backup that includes a witness address will work.
These approaches correspond to solutions 3a, 1a, and 5a respectively from https://gist.github.com/sipa/125cfa1615946d0c3f3eec2ad7f250a2. As argued there, there is no full solution for dealing with the case where you both downgrade and restore a backup, so that's also not implemented.
`dumpwallet`, `importwallet`, `importmulti`, `signmessage` and `verifymessage` don't work with SegWit addresses yet. They're remaining TODOs, for this PR or a follow-up. Because of that, several tests unexpectedly run with `-addresstype=legacy` for now.

3e1ee31 [Tests] Adding unit tests for GetDifficulty in blockchain.cpp. (sean)
Pull request description:
blockchain.cpp has low unit test coverage. This commit is intended
to start improving its code coverage to reasonable levels. One or more
follow up commits will complete the task that this commit is starting
(though the usefulness of this commit is not dependent upon later
commits).
Note that these tests were not written based upon a specification of how
GetDifficulty *should* work, but rather how it actually *does* work. As
a result, if there are any bugs in the current GetDifficulty
implementation, these unit tests serve to lock them in rather than
expose them.
-- Why has blockchain.cpp been modified if this is a unit testing change?
Since the existing GetDifficulty function relies on a global variable,
chainActive, it was not suitable for unit testing purposes. Both the
existing GetDifficulty function and the unit tests now call through to
a new, more modular version of GetDifficulty that can work on any chain,
not just chainActive.
-- Why does blockchain_tests.cpp directly include blockchain.cpp instead
of blockchain.h?
While the new GetDifficulty function's signature is arguably better than
the old one's, it still isn't great, and doesn't seem to warrant inclusion
as part of the blockchain.h API, especially since only test code is
directly using it. If a better way of exposing the new GetDifficulty
function to unit tests exists, please mention it and the commit will be
updated accordingly.
-- Why is the test fixture named blockchain_difficulty_tests rather than
blockchain_tests?
The Bitcoin Core policy for naming unit test files is to match the the
file under test ("blockchain" becomes "blockchain_tests"). While this
commit complies with that, blockchain.cpp is a massive file, such that
having all of the unit tests in one file will tend towards disorder.
Since there will be a lot more tests added to this file, the intention
is to divide up different types of tests into different test fixtures
within the same file.

Pull request description:
[Reviewer hint: use [?w=1](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10275/files?w=1) to avoid seeing a bunch of indentation changes.]
Presuming a user knows the block hash of the block containing a given transaction, this PR allows them to fetch the raw transaction, even without `-txindex`. It also enables support for getting transactions that are in orphaned blocks.
Note that supplying a block hash will override mempool and txindex support in `GetTransaction`. The rationale behind this is that a transaction may be in multiple places (orphaned blocks) and if the user supplies an explicit block hash it should be adhered to.

c60c49b Improve help text and behavior of RPC-logging (Akio Nakamura)
Pull request description:
1. It is allowed `libevent` logging to be updated during runtime,
but still described that restriction in the help text.
So we delete these text.
2. Add a descrption about the evaluation order of `<include>` and
`<exclude>` to clarify how debug loggig categories to be set.
3. Add a description about the available logging category `"all"`
which is not explained.
4. Add `"optional"` to the help text of `<include>` and `<exclude>`.
5. Add missing new lines before `"Argument:"`.
6. `"0"`,`"1"` are allowed in both array of `<include>` and `<exclude>`.
`"0"` is **ignored** and `"1"` is treated **same as** `"all"`.
It is confusing, so forbid them.
7. It always returns all logging categories with status.
Fix the help text to match this behavior.

blockchain.cpp has low unit test coverage. This commit is intended
to start improving its code coverage to reasonable levels. One or more
follow up commits will complete the task that this commit is starting
(though the usefulness of this commit is not dependent upon later
commits).
Note that these tests were not written based upon a specification of how
GetDifficulty *should* work, but rather how it actually *does* work. As
a result, if there are any bugs in the current GetDifficulty
implementation, these unit tests serve to lock them in rather than
expose them.
-- Why has blockchain.cpp been modified if this is a unit testing change?
Since the existing GetDifficulty function relies on a global variable,
chainActive, it was not suitable for unit testing purposes. Both the
existing GetDifficulty function and the unit tests now call through to
a new, more modular version of GetDifficulty that can work on any chain,
not just chainActive.
-- Why does blockchain_tests.cpp directly include blockchain.cpp instead
of blockchain.h?
While the new GetDifficulty function's signature is arguably better than
the old one's, it still isn't great, and doesn't seem to warrant inclusion
as part of the blockchain.h API, especially since only test code is
directly using it. If a better way of exposing the new GetDifficulty
function to unit tests exists, please mention it and the commit will be
updated accordingly.
-- Why is the test fixture named blockchain_difficulty_tests rather than
blockchain_tests?
The Bitcoin Core policy for naming unit test files is to match the the
file under test ("blockchain" becomes "blockchain_tests"). While this
commit complies with that, blockchain.cpp is a massive file, such that
having all of the unit tests in one file will tend towards disorder.
Since there will be a lot more tests added to this file, the intention
is to divide up different types of tests into different test fixtures
within the same file.
A) The changes in behavior are as follows:
1. Introduce logging category "none" as alias of "0" for
both RPC-logging and bitcoind "-debug" parameter.
2. Same as "0" is given to argument of "-debug",
if "none" or "0" is given to <include>, all other given logging
categories are ignored. The same is true for <exclude>.
(Before this PR, "0" was accepted but just be ignored itself.)
B) The changes in the help text are as follows:
1. Add a descrption about the evaluation order of <include> and
<exclude> to clarify how debug loggig categories to be set.
2. Delete text that describe restriction about libevent because
it's already allowed libevent logging to be updated during runtime.
3. Add a description for category "all", "1", "none" and "0".
4. Add "optional" to the help text of <include> and <exclude>.
5. Add missing new lines before "Argument:".
6. This RPC always returns all logging categories with status.
Fix the help text to match this behavior.

bd9c18171 [rpc] Add initialblockdownload to getblockchaininfo (John Newbery)
Pull request description:
Exposing whether the node is in IBD would help for testing, and may be useful in general, particularly for developers.
First discussed in #10357 here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10357#pullrequestreview-59963870
> ... we could simplify this (and possibly other) tests by just adding a way to know if a node is in IBD. I'd like to do that, but I'm not sure it makes sense to complicate this PR with discussion over how that information should be made available. Eg it's not clear to me that the notion of being in IBD is worth exposing to the casual user, versus a hidden rpc call or something, since the definition has changed over time, and may continue to change in the future. But I still do agree that at least for testing purposes it would be far simpler to expose the field somehow...
This PR currently implements the simplest way of doing this: adding an `initialblockdownload` field to `getblockchaininfo`. Other approaches we could take:
1. add a new debug RPC method that exposes `IBD` and potentially other information.
2. add a parameter to `getblockchaininfo`, eg `debug_info`, which would cause it to return debug information including IBD
3. add a query string to the url `?debug=true` which would cause RPCs to return additional debug information.
I quite like the idea of (3). Feedback on these and other approaches very much welcomed!
