Pull request description:
Python 3.4 is EOL after March 2019, so switch to 3.5. See https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches
This pull does the following in a bunch of commits:
* scripted diff to use the `bytes::hex()` method in place of previous wrappers (`b2x`, `bytes_to_hex_str`, `hexlify`, ...)
* Update the build system (gitian and travis) to remove python2.7 and replace it with python3.5
* Another scripted-diff to remove brackets after `assert`. This is unrelated to the python3.5 switch, but a stylistic commit, so probably not worth to split up. The motivation behind it is to avoid asserting on data structures (such as tuples of length one), which never fails:
```py
>>> assert(False,) # with brackets
>>> assert False, # without brackets
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>> assert False # proper assertion
AssertionError
```
* And then a final scripted diff to update the copyright headers in the `test` subfolder, since I touched most of the files anyway and it wouldn't make sense to split this commit out into a separate pull.

Pull request description:
bdb (5.x) is provided by the vanilla Debian/Ubuntu package manager.
If someone needs bdb4.8, they can use `./depends` or `./contrib/install_db4.sh`.
I don't think we need a forth way to install bdb. Those ppa instructions only leads to confusion for debian users: Closes#3757

55e05a82cd Added some factors that affect the dependency list (Martin Erlandsson)
Pull request description:
To simplify build instructions, the librsvg formula should be moved to the main `brew install ...` command, in my opinion.
It is not a big problem to install a single extra formula, and it will only be unused for some users.
An additional reason for this change is that I would like to add a comment (in a future PR) about making sure you have the latest version of all deps (in the case of preexisting formulae). That comment can be authored more clearly if this simplification PR is merged.

Pull request description:
This PR allows for key origin data as defined by the descriptors document to be imported to the wallet when importing a descriptor using `importmulti`. This allows the `walletprocesspsbt` to include the BIP 32 derivation paths for keys that it is watching that are from a different HD wallet.
In order to make this easier to use, a new field `hdmasterkeyfingerprint` has been added to `getaddressinfo`. Additionally I have removed `hdmasterkeyid` as was planned. I think that this API change is fine since it was going to be removed in 0.18 anyways. `CKeyMetadata` has also been extended to store key origin info to facilitate this.

This is a reworked version of #11708 after #12427 and the `signrawtransaction` split.

Includes a test which also tests the behaviour of #12427, and release note.

7687f7873 [wallet] Support creating a blank wallet (Andrew Chow)
Pull request description:
Alternative (kind of) to #14938
This PR adds a `blank` parameter to the `createwallet` RPC to create a wallet that has no private keys initially. `sethdseed` can then be used to make a clean wallet with a custom seed. `encryptwallet` can also be used to make a wallet that is born encrypted.
Instead of changing the version number as done in #14938, a wallet flag is used to indicate that the wallet should be blank. This flag is set at creation, and then unset when the wallet is no longer blank. A wallet becomes non-blank when a HD seed is set or anything is imported. The main change to create a blank wallet is primarily taken from #14938.
Also with this, the term "blank wallet" is used instead of "empty wallet" to avoid confusion with wallets that have balance which would also be referred to as "empty".
This is built on top of #15225 in order to fix GUI issues.

A blank wallet is a wallet that has no keys, script or watch only things.
A new wallet flag indicating that it is blank will be set when the wallet
is blank. Once it is no longer blank (a seed has been generated, keys or
scripts imported, etc), the flag will be unset.

Allows a descriptor to be imported into the wallet using `importmulti` RPC. Start and end of range can be specified for ranged descriptors. The descriptor is implicitly converted to old structures on import.
Also adds a simple test of a P2SH-P2WPKH address being imported as a descriptor. More tests to come, as well as release notes.

[
"bc1qg6ucjz7kgdedam7v5yarecy54uqw82yym06z3q"
] // part of the BIP32 test vector
```
Avoids the need for external (BIP32) libraries to derive an address. Can be used in conjunction with `scantxoutset` as a poor mans wallet. Might be useful to test more complicated future descriptors.
~To keep it as simple as possible it only supports descriptors that result in a single address, so no `combo()` and ranges.~
As discussed recently on IRC it might make sense to put this in a separate utility along with other descriptor and psbt utility functions which don't need a chain or wallet context. However I prefer to leave that to another PR.

13782b8ba8 docs: add perf section to developer docs (James O'Beirne)
58180b5fd4 tests: add utility to easily profile node performance with perf (James O'Beirne)
Pull request description:
Adds a context manager to easily (and selectively) profile node performance during functional test execution using `perf`.
While writing some tests, I encountered some odd bitcoind slowness. I wrote up a utility (`TestNode.profile_with_perf`) that generates performance diagnostics for a node by running `perf` during the execution of a particular region of test code.
`perf` usage is detailed in the excellent (and sadly unmerged) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12649; all due props to @eklitzke.
### Example
```python
with node.profile_with_perf("large-msgs"):
for i in range(200):
node.p2p.send_message(some_large_msg)
node.p2p.sync_with_ping()
```
This generates a perf data file in the test node's datadir (`/tmp/testtxmpod0y/node0/node-0-TestName-large-msgs.perf.data`).
Running `perf report` generates nice output about where the node spent most of its time while running that part of the test:
```bash
$ perf report -i /tmp/testtxmpod0y/node0/node-0-TestName-large-msgs.perf.data --stdio \
| c++filt \
| less
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
