a31be09bfd Encapsulate tx status in a Confirmation struct (Antoine Riard)
Pull request description:
While working on #15931, I've tried to rationalize tx state management to ease integration of block height tracking per-wallet tx. We currently rely on a combination of `hashBlock` and `nIndex` with magic value to determine tx confirmation, conflicted or abandoned state. It's hard to reason and error-prone. To solve that, we encapsulate these fields in a `TxConfirmation` struct and introduce a `TxState` member that we update accordingly at block connection/disconnection.
Following jnewbery [recommendation](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15931#discussion_r312576506), I've taken these changes in its own commit, and open a PR to get them first. It would ease review of aforementioned PR, but above all should ease fixing of long-term issues like :
* https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7315 (but maybe we should abandon abandontransaction or relieve it to only free outpoints not track the transaction as abandoned in itself, need its own discussion)
* https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/8692 where we should cancel conflicted state of transactions chain smoothly
* `MarkConflicted` in `LoadToWallet` is likely useless if we track conflicts rights at block connection
Main changes of this PR to get right are tx update in `AddToWallet` and serialization/deserialization logic.

2457aea83c Assert that the HRP is lowercase in Bech32::Encode (Samuel Dobson)
Pull request description:
From BIP-173:
> The lowercase form is used when determining a character's value for checksum purposes.
> Encoders MUST always output an all lowercase Bech32 string. If an uppercase version of the encoding result is desired, (e.g.- for presentation purposes, or QR code use), then an uppercasing procedure can be performed external to the encoding process.
Currently if HRP contains uppercase characters, the checksum will be generated over these uppercase characters resulting in mixed-case output that will always be invalid even if the case is changed manually after encoding. This shouldn't happen because both prefix's `bc` and `tb` are lowercase currently, but we assert this condition anyway.
This is consistent also with the [C reference implementation](2b0aac650c/ref/c/segwit_addr.c (L59))

798a589aff wallet: extract PubKey from P2PK script with Solver (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
The function `ExtractPubKey()` checks if a given script matches the P2PK pattern
(`<PubKey> OP_CHECKSIG`), extracts the PubKey and additionally checks if it is
cryptographically valid (full validation with ECC library via `CPubKey::IsFullyValid()`).
Currently this is done manually in the following order:
1. check if first script OP is data push with valid PubKey length (first part of pattern match), extract PubKey
2. create `CPubKey` object with extracted PubKey
3. fully validate public key
4. check if last script OP is `OP_CHECKSIG` (second part of pattern match)
Using Solver, the pattern matching and PubKey extraction can be done via a
single step, leading to the following simplified order with shorter code:
1. check if given script matches P2PK pattern with Solver (also contains valid PubKey length check), extracts Pubkey
2. create `CPubKey` object with extracted Pubkey
3. fully validate public key

fa0b910486 [doc] chain: Declare BLOCK_VALID_HEADER reserved (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
`BLOCK_VALID_HEADER` was never used and the comment is confusing to me in several ways:
* It claims "version ok". However, without the previous header, it is not possible to check the validity of the version since the height needs to be known (c.f. BIP 90)
* It claims "hash satisfies claimed PoW". While it is possible to check against the claimed PoW, it is not possible without the previous header to check that the claimed PoW is itself valid.
* It claims "1 <= vtx count <= max". However, with the header alone and current consensus rules, the number of transactions is unknown.

Add a LockChain method to CWallet to know if we can lock or query
chain state safely.
At tx loading, we rely on chain to know if hashBlock of tx is still
in main chain. If not, we set its status to unconfirmed and reset
its hashBlock/nIndex.
If wallet loaded is the wallet-tool one, all wallet txn will
show up with a height of zero. It doesn't matter as status is not
used by wallet-tool.
We take lock prematurely in CWallet::LoadWallet and CWallet::Verify
to ensure that lock order is respected between cs_main an cs_wallet.
d48c1e837a Add window final block height to getchaintxstats (Jonathan "Duke" Leto)
Pull request description:
This patch is motivated by the desire to make the output of `getchaintxstats` more useful and optimized for applications to consume and render the data.
Firstly, this data is already available to the RPC, no additional work is done. Currently additional RPC calls will be needed to look up the height of the final block in the window or the block height that began the window.
By adding the block height of the final block in the window, the JSON is "self-contained" and applications can calculate the exact block height range of the window with no additional RPC requests.
For example, a web application which wants to render historical information for `getchaintxstats` RPC on various window sizes might call the RPC with various window lengths, once per day, and store the JSON results somewhere. Because the final block height of each dataset is included, it's no extra work to determine the exact block window range of each JSON response.

These procedures will later be used in the ChainstateManager to compute
statistics (particularly a content hash) for UTXO sets coming in from
snapshots.
We shouldn't rely on this sync call to get an accurate view of txn
state, if a tx conflicts with one in mapTx we are going to update
our wallet dependencies in AddToWalletIfInvolvingMe while conflicting
txn get connected. If it doesn't conflict with one of our dependencies
we are not going to track it anyway.
This is a cleanup, as this SyncTransaction is redundant with the
following one for confirmation which is triggering the MarkConflicted
logic. We keep the loop because set of conflicted txn isn't same as txn
included in block.
Instead of relying on combination of hashBlock and nIndex
values to manage tx in its lifecycle, we introduce 4
status : CONFIRMED, UNCONFIRMED, CONFLICTED, ABANDONED.
hashBlock and nIndex magic values should only be used at
serialization/deserialization for backward-compatibility.
At block disconnection, we know flag txn as UNCONFIRMED where
previously they kept their states until being override by a
block connection or abandontransaction call. This is a change
in behavior for which user may have to call abandon twice
if transaction is disconnected and not accepted back in the mempool.
We assert status transitioning right in AddToWallet. Doing so
flagged a misbehavior in ComputeTimeSmart unit test where same
tx is confirmed twice in different block. To avoid inconsistencies
we unconfirmed tx before new connection in different block. We
also remove a cs_main lock in test, as AddToWallet and its
callees don't rely on locked chain.
In Qt 5.12 and before the QFontMetrics::width() is used and it is
deprecated since Qt 13.0.
In Qt 5.11 the QFontMetrics::horizontalAdvance() was introduced.
