This makes it possible to mine to any wallet when multi-wallet mode is added.
Solves the same problem as #10649, but IMO in a cleaner way.
It also gets rid of the circuitous `ScriptForMining` method on
`CValidationInterface`, which really doesn't belong there.
After this change it's still possible to mine without wallet through
`generatetoaddress`.

A few "a->an" and "an->a".
"Shows, if the supplied default SOCKS5 proxy" -> "Shows if the supplied default SOCKS5 proxy". Change made on 3 occurrences.
"without fully understanding the ramification of a command" -> "without fully understanding the ramifications of a command".
Removed duplicate words such as "the the".
We currently do two resolves for dns seeds: one for the results, and one to
serve in addrman as the source for those addresses.
There's no requirement that the source hostname resolves to the stored
identifier, only that the mapping is unique. So rather than incurring the
second lookup, combine a private subnet with a hash of the hostname.
The resulting v6 ip is guaranteed not to be publicy routable, and has only a
negligible chance of colliding with a user's internal network (which would be
of no consequence anyway).

We can call gettxoutproof() with a list of transactions. Currently, if
the first transaction is unspent (and all other transactions are in the
same block), then the call will succeed. If the first transaction has
been spent, then the call will fail. The means that the following two
calls will return different results:
gettxoutproof(unspent_tx1, spent_tx1)
gettxoutproof(spent_tx1, unspent_tx1)
This commit makes behaviour independent of transaction ordering by looping
through all transactions provided and trying to find which block they're in.
This commit also increases the test coverage and tests more failure
cases for gettxoutproof()
CCoinsViewCache doesn't actually support cursor iteration returning the
current contents of the cache, so raise an error when the cursor method is
called instead of returning a cursor that iterates over stale data.
Also update the gettxoutsetinfo RPC which was relying on the old behavior to be
explicit about which view it is returning data about.

This adds the listening address on which incoming connections were received to the
CNode and CNodeStats structures.
The address is reported in `getpeerinfo`.
This can be useful for distinguishing connections received on different listening ports
(e.g. when using a different listening port for Tor hidden service connections)
or different networks.

This patch makes several related changes:
* Changes the CCoinsView virtual methods (GetCoins, HaveCoins, ...)
to be COutPoint/Coin-based rather than txid/CCoins-based.
* Changes the chainstate db to a new incompatible format that is also
COutPoint/Coin based.
* Implements reconstruction code for hash_serialized_2.
* Adapts the coins_tests unit tests (thanks to Russell Yanofsky).
A side effect of the new CCoinsView model is that we can no longer
use the (unreliable) test for transaction outputs in the UTXO set
to determine whether we already have a particular transaction.
This makes the following changes:
* In undo data and the chainstate database, the transaction nVersion
field is removed from the data structures, always written as 0, and
ignored when reading.
* The definition of hash_serialized in gettxoutsetinfo is changed to no
longer incude the nVersion field. It is renamed to hash_serialized_2
to avoid confusion. The new definition also includes transaction
height and coinbase information, as this information was missing
before.
This depends on having a CHashVerifier-based undo data checksum
verifier.
Apart from changing the definition of serialized_hash, downgrading
after using this patch is supported, as no release ever used the value
of nVersion field in UTXO entries.

Verbose is changed to an int. This can have values from 0-2 for each level of verbosity.
Verbosity level 2 has transaction details displayed in the results.
For the per confirmation number tracking of data, introduce a scale factor so that in the longer horizones confirmations are bucketed together at a resolution of the scale. (instead of 1008 individual data points for each fee bucket, have 42 data points each covering 24 different confirmation values.. (1-24), (25-48), etc.. )
Change the logic of estimateSmartFee to check a 60% threshold at half the target, a 85% threshold at the target and a 95% threshold at double the target. Always check the shortest time horizon possible and ensure that estimates are monotonically decreasing. Add a conservative mode, which makes sure that the 95% threshold is also met at longer time horizons as well.
Track information the ranges of fee rates that were used to calculate the fee estimates (the last range of fee rates in which the data points met the threshold and the first to fail) and provide an RPC call to return this information.

There is no point in even hashing a submitted block which doesn't have
a coinbase transaction.
This also results in more useful error reporting on corrupted input.
Thanks to rawodb for the bug report.
This changes the logging categories to boolean flags instead of strings.
This simplifies the acceptance testing by avoiding accessing a scoped
static thread local pointer to a thread local set of strings. It
eliminates the only use of boost::thread_specific_ptr outside of
lockorder debugging.
This change allows log entries to be directed to multiple categories
and makes it easy to change the logging flags at runtime (e.g. via
an RPC, though that isn't done by this commit.)
It also eliminates the fDebug global.
Configuration of unknown logging categories now produces a warning.

It has no business in `rpcserver.h`. Define it in the interface header
of the implementation unit `rpcblockchain` where it is defined.
Also modernize the signature to:

This adds a mode argument to `getmemoryinfo`. By default the output
will remain the same. However if a mode argument of `mallocinfo` is
provided the result of glibc `malloc_info` (if available) will
be returned as a string, as-is.
This is useful for tracking heap usage over time or troubleshooting
memory fragmentation issues.
Segwit's version bit will be signalled for all invocations of CreateNewBlock,

RPC_INVALID_REQUEST and RPC_METHOD_NOT_FOUND are mapped internally to
HTTP error codes and should not be used for application-layer errors.
This commit adds commenting around those definitions to warn not to use
them for application errors.
The setban() RPC was returning misleading or incorrect error
codes (for example RPC_CLIENT_NODE_ALREADY_ADDED when an invalid IP
address was entered). This commit fixes those error codes:
- RPC_CLIENT_INVALID_IP_OR_SUBNET should be returned if the client
enters an invalid IP address or subnet.
This commit also updates the test cases to explicitly test the error code.
This commit also adds a testcase for trying to setban on an invalid subnet.
RPCs in blockchain.cpp were returning misleading or incorrect error
codes (for example getblock() returning RPC_INTERNAL_ERROR when the
block had been pruned). This commit fixes those error codes:
- RPC_INTERNAL_ERROR should not be returned for application-level
errors, only for genuine internal errors such as corrupted data.
- RPC_METHOD_NOT_FOUND should not be returned in response to a
JSON request for an existing method.
Those error codes have been replaced with RPC_MISC_ERROR or
RPC_INVALID_PARAMETER as appropriate.
This a breaking API change to the prioritisetransaction RPC call which previously required exactly three arguments and now requires exactly two (hash and feeDelta). The function prioritiseTransaction is also updated.
"startingpriority" and "currentpriority" are no longer returned in the JSON information about a mempool entry. This affects getmempoolancestors, getmempooldescendants, getmempooolentry, and getrawmempool.
Remove -limitfreerelay and always enforce minRelayTxFee in the mempool (except from disconnected blocks)
Remove -relaypriority, the option was only used for the ability to allow free transactions to be relayed regardless of their priority. Both notions no longer apply.

When importing a watch-only address over importmulti with a specific timestamp,
the wallet's nTimeFirstKey is currently set to 1. After this change, the
provided timestamp will be used and stored as metadata associated with
watch-only key. This can improve wallet performance because it can avoid the
need to scan the entire blockchain for watch only addresses when timestamps are
provided.
Also adds timestamp to validateaddress return value (needed for tests).
Fixes#9034.
This silently skips trying to merge signatures from inputs which
do not exist from transactions provided to signrawtransaction,
instead of hitting an assert.

The use of mocktime in test logic means that comparisons between
GetTime() and GetTimeMicros()/1000000 are unreliable since the former
can use mocktime values while the latter always gets the system clock;
this changes the networking code's inactivity checks to consistently
use the system clock for inactivity comparisons.
Also remove some hacks from setmocktime() that are no longer needed,
now that we're using the system clock for nLastSend and nLastRecv.
This command allows a user to increase the fee on a wallet transaction T, creating a "bumper" transaction B.
T must signal that it is BIP-125 replaceable.
T's change output is decremented to pay the additional fee. (B will not add inputs to T.)
T cannot have any descendant transactions.
Once B bumps T, neither T nor B's outputs can be spent until either T or (more likely) B is mined.
Includes code by @jonasschnelli and @ryanofsky
In spite of the name FindLatestBefore used std::lower_bound to try
to find the earliest block with a nTime greater or equal to the
the requested value. But lower_bound uses bisection and requires
the input to be ordered with respect to the comparison operation.
Block times are not well ordered.
I don't know what lower_bound is permitted to do when the data
is not sufficiently ordered, but it's probably not good.
(I could construct an implementation which would infinite loop...)
To resolve the issue this commit introduces a maximum-so-far to the
block indexes and searches that.
For clarity the function is renamed to reflect what it actually does.
An issue that remains is that there is no grace period in importmulti:
If a address is created at time T and a send is immediately broadcast
and included by a miner with a slow clock there may not yet have been
any block with at least time T.
The normal rescan has a grace period of 7200 seconds, but importmulti
does not.

Previously addnodes were in competition with outbound connections
for access to the eight outbound slots.
One result of this is that frequently a node with several addnode
configured peers would end up connected to none of them, because
while the addnode loop was in its two minute sleep the automatic
connection logic would fill any free slots with random peers.
This is particularly unwelcome to users trying to maintain links
to specific nodes for fast block relay or purposes.
Another result is that a group of nine or more nodes which are
have addnode configured towards each other can become partitioned
from the public network.
This commit introduces a new limit of eight connections just for
addnode peers which is not subject to any of the other connection
limitations (including maxconnections).
The choice of eight is sufficient so that under no condition would
a user find themselves connected to fewer addnoded peers than
previously. It is also low enough that users who are confused
about the significance of more connections and have gotten too
copy-and-paste happy will not consume more than twice the slot
usage of a typical user.
Any additional load on the network resulting from this will likely
be offset by a reduction in users applying even more wasteful
workaround for the prior behavior.
The retry delays are reduced to avoid nodes sitting around without
their added peers up, but are still sufficient to prevent overly
aggressive repeated connections. The reduced delays also make
the system much more responsive to the addnode RPC.
Ban-disconnects are also exempted for peers added via addnode since
the outbound addnode logic ignores bans. Previously it would ban
an addnode then immediately reconnect to it.
A minor change was also made to CSemaphoreGrant so that it is
possible to re-acquire via an object whos grant was moved.
The meaning is clear from the context, and we're inconsistent here.
Also save typing when using named arguments.
- `bitcoinaddress` -> `address`
- `bitcoinprivkey` -> `privkey`
- `bitcoinpubkey` -> `pubkey`
The [JSON-RPC specification](http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification) allows passing parameters as an Array, for by-position
arguments, or an Object, for by-name arguments.
This implements by-name arguments, but preserves full backwards compatibility. API using by-name arguments are
easier to extend, and easier to use (no need to guess which argument goes where).
Named are mapped to positions by a per-call structure, provided through the RPC command table.
Missing arguments will be replaced by null, except if at the end, then the argument is left out completely.
Currently calls fail (though not crash) on intermediate nulls, but this should be improved on a per-call basis later.
