5460460 Add AbsPathForConfigVal to consolidate datadir prefixing for path args (James O'Beirne)
a1e1305 Clarify help messages for path args to mention datadir prefix (James O'Beirne)
Pull request description:
Change `-conf`'s help message to indicate that relative path values will be prefixed by the datadir path. This behavior probably merits clarification; it's kind of confusing when attempting to specify a configuration file in the current directory with `-conf=bitcoin.conf`, but instead loading the `bitcoin.conf` file in ~/.bitcoin datadir.
### Edit
This PR has been modified to document all cases where relative path configurations are modified to be under datadir. A small refactoring has also been added which consolidates this normalization.

fabb72b contrib: Remove xpired 522739F6 key (MarcoFalke)
faeab66 contrib: Replace developer keys with list of pgp fingerprints (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Having to host a copy of the keys in this repo was a common source of discussion and distraction, caused by problems such as:
* Outdated keys. Unclear whether and when to replace by fresh copies.
* Unclear when to add a key of a new developer or Gitian builder.
The problems are solved by
* Having no keys but only the fingerprints
* Adding a rule of thumb, when to add a new key
<strike>Moving the keys to a different repo solves none of these issues, but since the keys are not bound to releases or git branches of Bitcoin Core, they should live somewhere else.
Obviously, all keys are hosted and distributed on key servers, but were added to the repo solely for convenience and redundancy.
Moving the mirror of those keys to a different repo makes it less distracting to update them -- let's say -- prior to every major release.
I updated our `doc/release-process.md` to reflect the new location.

d3a185a net: Move misbehaving logging to net logging category (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
This moves the error messages for misbehavior (when available) into the line that reports the misbehavior, as well as moves the logging to the `net` category.
This is a continuation of #11583 and avoids serious-looking errors due to misbehaving peers. As it is impossible to correlate the `peer=X` numbers to specific incoming connections now without enabling the `net` category, it doesn't really help to see these messages by default.
To do this, Misbehaving() gains an optional `message` argument.
E.g. change:
2018-01-18 16:02:27 Misbehaving: x.x.x.x:62174 peer=164603 (80 -> 100) BAN THRESHOLD EXCEEDED
2018-01-18 16:02:27 ERROR: non-continuous headers sequence

When there is a category for "important" net messages (see #12219 ), we should move it there.

660f5f1 net: don't retry failed oneshot connections forever (Cory Fields)
Pull request description:
As introduced by (my suggestion, sorry, in) #11512, failed dns resolves end up as oneshots. But failed oneshots are re-added as oneshots, so we need to make sure that we're not queuing these up forever after failed resolves.
Rather than trying to differentiate, I think we should just not re-add failed oneshots and be done with it.
Maybe @sipa can shed a light on what the original intention was.

ee5e896 Organise Linux build instructions to be categorised by distro (Alex Vear)
4c85517 Add NetBSD build instruction links (Alex Vear)
Pull request description:
* Added references to the newly created [`doc/build-netbsd.md`] (#12294) instructions in the [`doc/README.md`] and the [`doc/build-unix.md`] files.
* Organise [`doc/build-unix.md`] dependency build instructions by Linux distribution. This will help discoverability of dependency build instructions for specific distros. Future instructions will also be able to be added easier.
I am not quite sure about the FreeBSD instructions being in the [`doc/build-unix.md`], while both the OpenBSD and NetBSD instructions are contained within separate files ([`doc/build-openbsd.md`] and [`doc/build-netbsd.md`] respectively).
Feedback is greatly appreciated. 😄
