a9e898a4ad docs: Link to python style guidelines from developer notes (Mason Simon)
Pull request description:
Initially I moved the python style guidelines from the functional test README, but some of the python rules are test-specific, and most of the developer notes doc is C++ centric, so just dropping a link seemed better.

I also note that it asks to ping **wumpus** on IRC, to assist in generating a list of merged pulls and sort them into categories based on labels. I tried to turn this into a simple one-liner as well (something like ``git log --merges --format="- \`%h\` %s (%an)" v0.16.0..v0.16.1``), but it didn't seem to capture everything I needed.
Would it be worthwhile **wumpus** open-sourcing his code into `contrib/devtools` so there is no single point of failure (even if it can manually be worked around).

Pull request description:
This adds a new RPC method `getzmqnotifications`, which returns information about all active ZMQ notification endpoints. This is useful for software that layers on top of bitcoind, so it can verify that ZeroMQ is enabled and also figure out where it should listen.
See #13526.

bad068ad9f build: Build system changes to support only Qt5 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
Implements #8263.
Qt4.x has been EOL since 2015, and at least Gentoo has, or is going to drop support for it. I wouldn't be surprised if other Linux distributions follow.
This removes Qt4 detection from the build system, as well as removes all Qt4 fallbacks from the code. Turns out there's more than I expected: this is going to make maintenance of the GUI code, as well as adding new features significantly easier.
(I know there's still some references left to qt4 in RPM and Debian build script, but I don't have the knowledge how to fix them)

Pull request description:
When analysing includes in the project it is often assumed that the preferred bracket include syntax (`#include <foo.h>`) mentioned in `developer-docs.md` is used consistently. @sipa:s excellent circular dependencies script [`circular-dependencies.py`](50c69b7801/contrib/devtools/circular-dependencies.py) (#13228) is an example of a script making this reasonable assumption.
This PR enables automatic Travis checking of the include syntax making sure that the bracket syntax includes (`#include <foo.h>`) is used consistently.

cbede7dbfd [qt] OptionsDialog: add prune setting (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
The default suggested value is 2 GB. Minimum is 1 GB (550 MB rounded up).
When the user toggles this setting, a strong warning appears that undoing requires re-downloading the chain:

Tooltip points out that actual disk usage can be higher. It's a bit vague on the "advanced features", because I'm assuming anyone who needs to use `-rescan` and `-txindex` will read the documentation, and a more detailed text would needlessly confuse everyone else.

The UI uses gigabytes for readability and easy of use. There is also no manual pruning UI (`prune=1`). The user will have to use `bitcoin.conf` for those things.
Fixes#6461. When combined with #13029 the user, after pruning their node, can safely reset settings and/or use bitcoind without having to edit `bitcoin.conf`. However I don't think that's an essential prerequisite.

docs: Linked to the 'Building on FreeBSD' section of the Unix guide where it lists BSD specific guides.
Created a FreeBSD build guide (doc/build-freebsd.md).
Added in warning about the version of 'gdb' installed by default.
Removed the FreeBSD build instructions now that they have their own guide (doc/build-freebsd.md).
Updated the sentence to refer to the BSD guides in the 'doc' directory for more specific BSD build instructions.
Minor grammatical fix.
fa3c910bfe test: Move linters to test/lint, add readme (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
This moves the checks and linters from `devtools` to a subfolder in `test`. (Motivated by my opinion that the dev tools are mostly for generating code and updating the repo whereas the linters are read-only checks.)
Also, adds a readme to clarify that checks and linters are only meant to prevent bugs and user facing issues, not merely stylistic preference or inconsistencies. (This is motivated by the diversity in developers and work flows as well as existing code styles. It would be too disruptive to change all existing code to a single style or too burdensome to force all developers to adhere to a single style. Also note that our style guide is changing, so locking in at the wrong style "too early" would only waste resources.)

87fe292d89 doc: Mention disabling BIP61 in bips.md (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
fe16dd8226 net: Add option `-enablebip61` to configure sending of BIP61 notifications (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
This commit adds a boolean option `-peersendreject`, defaulting to `1`, that can be used to disable the sending of [BIP61](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0061.mediawiki) `reject` messages. This functionality has been requested for various reasons:
- security (DoS): reject messages can reveal internal state that can be used to target certain resources such as the mempool more easily.
- bandwidth: a typical node sends lots of reject messages; this counts against upstream bandwidth. Also the reject messages tend to be larger than the message that was rejected.
On the other hand, reject messages can be useful while developing client software (I found them indispensable while creating bitcoin-submittx), as well as for our own test cases, so whatever the default becomes on the long run, IMO the functionality should be retained as option. But that's a discussion for later, for now it's simply a node operator decision.
Also adds a RPC test that checks the functionality.
