Many options are extremely technical, and refer internals, making it
difficult to translate usefully. This came up in discussion of e.g.
#10949. If a message is not understood by translators (which are
typically end-users, not developers) they'll either translate it
literally, making it harder to understand instead of easier, with the
added drawback of the user no longer being able to google it.
Also the translation was only working for bitcoin-qt as with
the console programs, there is no translation backend. So it was
injecting never-used translation messages for bitcoin-cli, -tx.
For these reasons, stop translating options help completely. This should
not affect the output **in any way** except for bitcoin-qt when a
non-English language is configured in the locale.
This implements #10962.
This trivial change adds the "override" keyword to some methods of
subclasses meant to override interface methods. This ensures that any
future change to the interface' method signatures which are not correctly
mirrored in the subclass will break at compile time with a clear error message,
rather than fail at runtime (which is harder to debug).

1bf3f33b46 node: Removed unused wallet-related methods from the Node interface. (Thomas Snider)
b38200459f benchmark: Removed bench/perf.cpp (Thomas Snider)
Pull request description:
Not sure if these should be separate PRs.
First is removal of a platform abstraction for getting cycle counters where possible. Since the benchmarking switch to counting number of iterations over a fixed window instead of counting cycles per iteration, these are unused.
Second is removal of a few methods from the Node interface that seem vestigial from when the concepts of wallet/node were not as clearly separated.

1f45e21 scripted-diff: Convert 11 enums into scoped enums (C++11) (practicalswift)
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).

5fbf7c4 fix nits: variable naming, typos (Martin Ankerl)
1e0ee90 Use best-fit strategy in Arena, now O(log(n)) instead O(n) (Martin Ankerl)
Pull request description:
This replaces the first-fit algorithm used in the Arena with a best-fit. According to "Dynamic Storage Allocation: A Survey and Critical Review", Wilson et. al. 1995, http://www.scs.stanford.edu/14wi-cs140/sched/readings/wilson.pdf, both startegies work well in practice.
The advantage of using best-fit is that we can switch the O(n) allocation to O(log(n)). Additionally, some previously O(log(n)) operations are now O(1) operations by using hash maps. The end effect is that the benchmark runs about 2.5 times faster on my machine:
# Benchmark, evals, iterations, total, min, max, median
old: BenchLockedPool, 5, 530, 5.25749, 0.00196938, 0.00199755, 0.00198172
new: BenchLockedPool, 5, 1300, 5.11313, 0.000781493, 0.000793314, 0.00078606
I've run all unit tests and benchmarks, and increased the number of iterations so that BenchLockedPool takes about 5 seconds again.

Allows SelectCoinsMinConf and SelectCoins be able to switch between
using BnB or Knapsack for choosing coins.
Has SelectCoinsMinConf do the preprocessing necessary to support either
BnB or Knapsack. This includes calculating the filtering the effective
values for each input.
Uses BnB in CreateTransaction to find an exact match for the output.
If BnB fails, it will fallback to the Knapsack solver.
Remove requirement that two wallet files can only be opened at the same time if
they are contained in the same directory.
This change mostly consists of updates to function signatures (updating
functions to take fs::path arguments, instead of combinations of strings,
fs::path, and CDBEnv / CWalletDBWrapper arguments).
Log whether the starting instance of bitcoin core is a debug or release
build (--enable-debug).
Also warn when running the benchmarks with a debug build, to prevent
mistakes comparing debug to non-debug results.

fbf327b Minimal code changes to allow msvc compilation. (Aaron Clauson)
Pull request description:
These changes are required to allow the Bitcoin source to build with Microsoft's C++ compiler (#11562 is also required).
I looked around for a better place for the typedef of ssize_t which is in random.h. The best candidate looks like src/compat.h but I figured including that header in random.h is a bigger change than the typedef. Note that the same typedef is in at least two other places including the OpenSSL and Berkeley DB headers so some of the Bitcoin code already picks it up.

std::chrono removes portability issues.
Rather than storing doubles, store the untouched time_points. Then
convert to nanoseconds for display. This allows for maximum precision, while
keeping results comparable between differing hardware/operating systems.
Also, display full nanosecond counts rather than sub-second floats.
We were saving a div by caching the inverse as a float, but this
ended up requiring a int -> float -> int conversion, which takes
almost as much time as the difference between float mul and div.
There are lots of other more pressing issues with the bench
framework which probably require simply removing the adaptive
iteration count stuff anyway.
90d4d89 scripted-diff: Use the C++11 keyword nullptr to denote the pointer literal instead of the macro NULL (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
Since C++11 the macro `NULL` may be:
* an integer literal with value zero, or
* a prvalue of type `std::nullptr_t`
By using the C++11 keyword `nullptr` we are guaranteed a prvalue of type `std::nullptr_t`.
For a more thorough discussion, see "A name for the null pointer: nullptr" (Sutter &
Stroustrup), http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2431.pdf
With this patch applied there are no `NULL` macro usages left in the repo:
```
$ git grep NULL -- "*.cpp" "*.h" | egrep -v '(/univalue/|/secp256k1/|/leveldb/|_NULL|NULLDUMMY|torcontrol.*NULL|NULL cert)' | wc -l
0
```
The road towards `nullptr` (C++11) is split into two PRs:
* `NULL` → `nullptr` is handled in PR #10483 (scripted, this PR)
* `0` → `nullptr` is handled in PR #10645 (manual)

Avoid static analyzer warnings regarding "Function call argument
is a pointer to uninitialized value" in cases where we are
intentionally using such arguments.
This is achieved by using ...
`f(b.begin(), b.end())` (`std::array<char, N>`)
... instead of ...
`f(b, b + N)` (`char b[N]`)
Rationale:
* Reduce false positives by guiding static analyzers regarding our
intentions.
