Merge #12166: [docs] Clarify -walletdir usage
97c3cad [docs] Clarify -walletdir usage (John Newbery)

Pull request description:

  After discussion with @ryanofsky around #11687 , I think this documentation is a bit clearer for how the new `-walletdir` argument works.

6915f93 doc: Update OpenBSD build instructions for 6.2 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)

Pull request description:

  (this continues #11442)
  There is no more need to install a new compiler. This simplifies instructions a lot.

  From discussion with @fanquake on IRC I first wanted to add a new section for 6.2, but that made the document a complex mess. I think it's good enough (and more maintainable too) to only support the most recent release.

  Includes #11976.

  I moved the "resource limits" section to the end as I didn't seem to need it with clang, but this may vary based on source changes and the phase of the moon so it's good to keep it as optional extra information.

Merge #11605: [Wallet] Enable RBF by default in QT
5cbbbd7 [Wallet] Use RBF by default in QT only (Sjors Provoost)

Pull request description:

  ~If there are no objections, this would supersede #11556.~

  Enabling RBF by default avoids the need to explain all possible use cases of RBF.

  This PR does not change the default RPC wallet behavior, as this could break implementations that depend on it and it's not clear what happens when automated services suddenly switch on RBF on a large scale.

  After trying various approaches, we settled on just having QT ignore `-walletrbf`.

Pull request description:

  As discussed in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11289#issuecomment-334600457, adds the CScripts from the wallet to the `dumpwallet` RPC and then allows them to be imported with the `importwallet` RPC. Includes a basic test, and modifies the helptext of the dumpwallet RPC.

  Notes:
  - Reviewers: use `?w=1` to avoid the indentation-only change in commit `Add scripts to importwallet RPC `
  - currently the scripts are followed with `# addr=` comments just as the other keys are, unsure if this might confuse users into thinking all the scripts are for valid P2SH addresses though, but I don't think that should be an issue.
  - there are no birthtimes for scripts, so script imports don't affect rescans
  - `importwallet` imports the CScripts but I'm not sure how to approach specifying whether scripts are for P2SH addresses, BIP173 addresses, etc. whether that matters or not. Otherwise the RPC helptext might just need modification.

  Fixes #11715

c0298b0 contrib: Make X=Y arguments work in install_db4 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
b798f9b contrib: New clang patch for install_db4 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)

Pull request description:

  This PR improves the BSD compatibility of the bdb4 installer script.

  See #11921, #11868.

  I've tested this on OpenBSD 6.2 (clang) and Ubuntu 16.04 (gcc).

  This needs testing on OSX at least, ~~and on gcc/Linux to make sure that applying the patch unconditionally doesn't negatively affect gcc~~.

  ~~NB: this is not yet sufficient to make `install_db4.sh` work on FreeBSD, as we need to use yet another `sha256` tool there. But it's a step in the right direction.~~

  ### contrib: New clang patch for install_db4

  Replace the clang patch with a new and improved version that also fixes the build issues with OpenBSD and FreeBSD's clang, and apply it unconditionally.

  Thanks to @fanquake for finding the patch.

  ### contrib: Make X=Y arguments work in install_db4

  Trailing X=Y arguments are supposed to be passed through unchanged to bdb's configure. This was not the case, at least with OpenBSD 6.2's shell.

  Fix this by not storing the arguments in a temporary variable but passing "$@" through directly.

  ### contrib: FreeBSD compatibility in install_db4.sh

  Unfortunately, FreeBSD uses yet another syntax for `sha256`.

  Support FreeBSD's syntax too. Using `uname` is a bit of a hack but it works and I found no way to distinguish the two.

Pull request description:

  Closes #11348

  Adds a `-walletdir` parameter which specifies a directory to use for wallets, allowing them to be stored separately from the 'main' data directory. Creates a new `wallets/` directory in datadir if this is the first time running, and defaults to using it if it exists.

  Includes tests and release notes. Things which might need to be considered more:
  - there is no 'lock' on the wallets directory, which might be needed?
  - because this uses a new wallets/ directory by default, downgrading to an earlier version won't see the wallets in that directory (not a big deal though, users can just copy them up to the main dir)
  - jnewbery suggested putting each wallet in its own directory, which is a good idea, but out of scope for this PR IMO. EDIT: this is being done in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11687
  - doc/files.md needs updating (will do soon)

  I also considered including  a cleanup by removing caching of data directory paths and instead just initialise them once on startup (c.f. #3073), but decided it wasn't super relevant here will just complicate review.

  I wasn't sure if we wanted to create a separate directory for this sort of thing (e.g. `contrib/install`) so I just stuck it in `contrib/`; happy to move it around if anyone has another preference.

Merge #11438: Updated Windows build doc for WSL/Xenial workaround
7383d77 Updated instructions for Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. (Aaron Clauson)
e0fc4a7 Updated Windows build doc for WSL/Xenial workarounds. (Aaron Clauson)

Pull request description:

  An update to the Windows build document that provides workarounds for the broken 64 bit mingw32 cross compiler on WSL/Xenial.

  This update is an alternative to pull request #11437. While that pull request takes a valid approach by stating building on WSL should be avoided I think it is more useful to give Windows developers a workaround option.

  The instructions have been tested on:
  - Ubuntu 14.04 and 64 bit mingw32 tool chain
  - Ubuntu 16.04 and 64 bit mingw32 tool chain
  - Ubuntu 17.04 and 64 bit mingw32 tool chain
  - Windows Subsystem for Linux (Windows 10 OS Build 15063.608) and 32 bit mingw32 tool chain
  - Windows Subsystem for Linux (Windows 10 OS Build 15063.608) and 64 bit mingw32 tool chain

  Related items:
  - Serious incompatibility problems w/ newer mingw-64 on Ubuntu #8653
  - `-fstack-protector-all` triggers crashes in mingw-w64 5.3.1 #8732
  - Windows build appears broken on WSL (buntu okay) #10269
  - Compilation error for windows target #11437

4f890ba Add new step to clean $PATH var by removing /mnt specific Window's %PATH% paths that cause issues with the make system (Donal OConnor)

Pull request description:

  This updates the Windows build documentation with the workaround required to build using Ubuntu 17.04 on WSL, and makes it's explicit that building on Ubuntu 16.04 is broken, and not recommended.

  This includes a commit from @donaloconnor in #11244, and is mostly the investigative work of @laanwj throughout #8732, #8653 and quite a few other issues.

  I tested building on 14.04, 16.04.3 and 17.04 [here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11244#issuecomment-327990251) and got the results we expect.

  ---

  Built master at c22a53cd63 on a Windows 10 VM (Version 1607, OS Build 14393.1593) using WSL with Ubuntu 14.04.
  ![windows](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/863730/30195033-867f1f24-9489-11e7-932c-e87b8764a627.png)

  Upgraded WSL to 16.04.3, and tried building c22a53cd63 using these instructions. The result is as expected.
  ![ubuntu 16 04 3](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/863730/30235670-b9bf36bc-953d-11e7-8c1d-4debf7113032.png)

  Upgraded WSL to 17.04 and tried building 3255d6347b using these instructions.
  ![ubuntu 17 04](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/863730/30235669-b7473434-953d-11e7-8ea3-d05a319ae2d4.png)

  If someone else could also verify that builds are working on both 14.04 and 17.04 with these instructions, that would be great.

Merge #11050: Avoid treating null RPC arguments different from missing arguments
745d2e3 Clean up getbalance RPC parameter handling (Russell Yanofsky)
fd5d71e Update developer notes after params.size() cleanup (Russell Yanofsky)
e067673 Avoid treating null RPC arguments different from missing arguments (Russell Yanofsky)
e666efc Get rid of redundant RPC params.size() checks (Russell Yanofsky)

Pull request description:

  This is a followup to #10783.

  - The first commit doesn't change behavior at all, just simplifies code.
  - The second commit just changes RPC methods to treat null arguments the same as missing arguments instead of throwing type errors.
  - The third commit updates developer notes after the cleanup.
  - The forth commit does some additional code cleanup in `getbalance`.

  Followup changes that should happen in future PRs:

  - [ ] Replace uses of `.isTrue()` with calls to `.get_bool()` so numbers, objects, and strings cause type errors instead of being interpreted as false. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11050#discussion_r133850525
  - [ ] Add braces around if statements. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11050#discussion_r133851133
  - [ ] Maybe improve UniValue type error exceptions and eliminate RPCTypeCheck and RPCTypeCheckArgument functions. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11050#discussion_r133829303

Transaction hash cannot be in hexadecimal, that would be 64 bytes. In reality it's just raw bytes.

Pull request description:

  Trivial commit that fixes Markdown line breaks in `docs/init.md`. Markdown line breaks take the form of two spaces, which is hard to spot when viewing raw text but visible when previewing on GitHub. Line 72-73 of `docs/init.md` did not conform to the rest the rest of the documentation, and is corrected in this PR.
