Nowhere else in the protocol do we send headers which are for
blocks we have not fully validated except in response to getheaders
messages with a null locator. On my public node I have not seen any
such request (whether for an invalid block or not) in at least two
years of debug.log output, indicating that this should have minimal
impact.
cc5c39d [Build] Add AM_OBJCXXFLAGS and QT_PIE_FLAGS to OBJCXXFLAGS to future-proof darwin targets (fanquake)
f8c6697 Fix automake warnings when running autogen.sh (Evan Klitzke)
Pull request description:
Adjusted @eklitzke's commit to completely remove GZIP_ENV.
Added a commit to address OBJCXXFLAGS.
Rebased on master.
Relevant info from @theuni & #11013 below.
--------
GZIP_ENV was indeed added for determinism, but gitian exports this as needed, so it's not really necessary. I'd rather just remove it.
The mm.o rule was added to support XCode 4.2's ancient version of automake. That's irrelevant now, so it makes sense to remove that too.
All darwin targets are PIE by default, so we don't technically need the flags, but I'd be more comfortable if we hooked up the OBJCXXFLAGS in case future ones are added.
--------
The second commit addresses the last point, but could probably use a better commit message.
These warnings are removed from autogen output:

37886d5e2 Disconnect outbound peers relaying invalid headers (Suhas Daftuar)
4637f1852 moveonly: factor out headers processing into separate function (Suhas Daftuar)
Pull request description:
Alternate to #11446.
Disconnect outbound (non-manual) peers that serve us block headers that are already known to be invalid, but exempt compact block announcements from such disconnects.
We restrict disconnection to outbound peers that are using up an outbound connection slot, because we rely on those peers to give us connectivity to the honest network (our inbound peers are not chosen by us and hence could all be from an attacker/sybil). Maintaining connectivity to peers that serve us invalid headers is sometimes desirable, eg after a soft-fork, to protect unupgraded software from being partitioned off the honest network, so we prefer to only disconnect when necessary.
Compact block announcements are exempted from this logic to comply with BIP 152, which explicitly permits nodes to relay compact blocks before fully validating them.

5a6d00c Permit disconnection of outbound peers on bad/slow chains (Suhas Daftuar)
c60fd71 Disconnecting from bad outbound peers in IBD (Suhas Daftuar)
Pull request description:
The first commit will disconnect an outbound peer that serves us a headers chain with insufficient work while we're in IBD.
The second commit introduces a way to disconnect outbound peers whose chains fall out of sync with ours:
For a given outbound peer, we check whether their best known block (which is known from the blocks they announce to us) has at least as much work as our tip. If it doesn't, we set a 20 minute timeout, and if we still haven't heard about a block with as much work as our tip had when we set the timeout, then we send a single getheaders message, and wait 2 more minutes. If after two minutes their best known block has insufficient work, we disconnect that peer.
We protect 4 of our outbound peers (who provide some "good" headers chains, ie a chain with at least as much work as our tip at some point) from being subject to this logic, to prevent excessive network topology changes as a result of this algorithm, while still ensuring that we have a reasonable number of nodes not known to be on bogus chains.
We also don't require our peers to be on the same chain as us, to prevent accidental partitioning of the network in the event of a chain split. Note that if our peers are ever on a more work chain than our tip, then we will download and validate it, and then either reorg to it, or learn of a consensus incompatibility with that peer and disconnect. This PR is designed to protect against peers that are on a less work chain which we may never try to download and validate.
Tree-SHA512: 2e0169a1dd8a7fb95980573ac4a201924bffdd724c19afcab5efcef076fdbe1f2cec7dc5f5d7e0a6327216f56d3828884f73642e00c8534b56ec2bb4c854a656
Currently we have no rotation of outbound peers. If an outbound peer
stops serving us blocks, or is on a consensus-incompatible chain with
less work than our tip (but otherwise valid headers), then we will never
disconnect that peer, even though that peer is using one of our 8
outbound connection slots. Because we rely on our outbound peers to
find an honest node in order to reach consensus, allowing an
incompatible peer to occupy one of those slots is undesirable,
particularly if it is possible for all such slots to be occupied by such
peers.
Protect against this by always checking to see if a peer's best known
block has less work than our tip, and if so, set a 20 minute timeout --
if the peer is still not known to have caught up to a chain with as much
work as ours after 20 minutes, then send a single getheaders message,
wait 2 more minutes, and if a better header hasn't been received by then,
disconnect that peer.
Note:
- we do not require that our peer sync to the same tip as ours, just an
equal or greater work tip. (Doing otherwise would risk partitioning the
network in the event of a chain split, and is also unnecessary.)
- we pick 4 of our outbound peers and do not subject them to this logic,
to be more conservative. We don't wish to permit temporary network
issues (or an attacker) to excessively disrupt network topology.

6d51eaefe qa: Fix race condition in sendheaders.py (Suhas Daftuar)
c96b2e4f0 qa: Fix replace-by-fee race condition failures (Suhas Daftuar)
Pull request description:
I think #11407 broke replace-by-fee by introducing a race condition. I was observing frequent failures of replace-by-fee locally, always with a mempool sync failure (the sync call was added in #11407).
It appeared to me like there were two causes: sometimes the node would be in IBD and not request the transaction that was relayed; other times the blocks generated in make_utxo wouldn't have relayed quickly enough for the spend of the transaction to be accepted. I believe I've fixed both potential errors.
ping @instagibbs
Edit: I found a race condition in the sendheaders.py test, where if the verack from the python node wasn't processed before the first block in the test was generated, then no block announcement would go out to that peer, breaking the test. Fixed by adding a sync_with_ping after waiting for verack.

258d33b41 [mempool] Mark unaccepted txs present in mempool as 'already there'. (Karl-Johan Alm)
Pull request description:
I was investigating the reasons for failed imports in mempool and noticed that `LoadMempool()` and `pwallet->postInitProcess()` (for all wallets) are executed concurrently. The wallet will end up importing transactions that `LoadMempool()` later tries to import; the latter will fail due to the tx already being in the mempool.
This PR changes the log message, adding an additional "already there" entry. For transactions not accepted into mempool, a check if they are in the mempool is done first, and if found, they are counted as 'already there', otherwise counted as 'failed'.
Also slight rewording for consistency (successes, failed, expired, ... -> succeeded, failed, expired).
