4757c04 [config] Remove blockmaxsize option (John Newbery)
Pull request description:
The blockmaxsize option was marked as deprecated in V0.15.1, and code
was added to convert provided blockmaxsize into blockmaxweight. However,
this code was incorrectly implemented, and blockmaxsize was silently
ignored.
No users have complained about blockmaxsize being ignored, so just
remove it in V0.17.
Fixes#12640

Pull request description:
Rename account to label where appropriate
This change only updates strings and adds RPC aliases, but should simplify the implementation of address labels in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7729, by getting renaming out of the way and letting that change focus on semantics.
The difference between accounts and labels is that labels apply only to addresses, while accounts apply to both addresses and transactions (transactions have "from" and "to" accounts). The code associating accounts with transactions is clumsy and unreliable so we would like get rid of it.

8acd25d85 rpc: Allow typeAny in RPCTypeCheck (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
The second parameter of the `createrawtransaction` is a dictionary of the outputs. This comes with at least two drawbacks:
* In case of duplicate keys, either of them might silently disappear, with no user feedback at all. A user needs to make other mistakes, but this could eventually lead to abnormal tx fees.
* A dictionary does not guarantee that keys are sorted. Again, a user needs to keep this in mind, as it could eventually lead to excessive tx fees.
Even though my scenario of loss-of-funds is unlikely to happen, I see it as a inconvenience that should be fixed.

* Z is the zone designator for the zero UTC offset.

be8ab7d08 Create new wallet databases as directories rather than files (Russell Yanofsky)
26c06f24e Allow wallet files not in -walletdir directory (Russell Yanofsky)
d8a99f65e Allow wallet files in multiple directories (Russell Yanofsky)
Pull request description:
This change consists of three commits:
* The first commit is a pure refactoring that removes the restriction that two wallets can only be opened at the same time if they are contained in the same directory.
* The second commit removes the restriction that `-wallet` filenames can only refer to files in the `-walletdir` directory.
* The third commit makes second commit a little safer by changing bitcoin to create wallet databases as directories rather than files, so they can be safely backed up.
All three commits should be straightforward:
* The first commit adds around 20 lines of new code and then updates a bunch of function signatures (generally updating them to take plain fs::path parameters, instead of combinations of strings, fs::paths, and objects like CDBEnv and CWalletDBWrapper).
* The second commit removes two `-wallet` filename checks and adds some test cases to the multiwallet unit test.
* The third commit just changes the mapping from specified wallet paths to bdb environment & data paths.

This change should make it easier for users to make complete backups of wallets
because they can now just back up the specified `-wallet=<path>` path directly,
instead of having to back up the specified path as well as the transaction log
directory (for incompletely flushed wallets).
Another advantage of this change is that if two wallets are located in the same
directory, they will now use their own BerkeleyDB environments instead using a
shared environment. Using a shared environment makes it difficult to manage and
back up wallets separately because transaction log files will contain a mix of
data from all wallets in the environment.
Added a note to init.md to clarify the .service copy path for newer versions of Ubuntu because it differs from the described copy path.
Also noted what version of Ubuntu switched to systemd for the default system init.

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.

Also warn if bitcoind is configured to use a relative -datadir path.
Specifying paths relative to the current working directory in a daemon process
can be dangerous, because files can fail to be located even if the
configuration doesn't change, but the daemon is started up differently.
Specifying a relative -datadir now adds a warning to the debug log. It would
not be backwards-compatible to forbid relative -datadir paths entirely, and it
could also be also inconvenient for command line testing.
Specifying a relative -walletdir now results in a startup error. But since the
-walletdir option is new in 0.16.0, there should be no compatibility issues.
Another reason not to use working directory paths for -walletdir specifically
is that the default -walletdir is a "wallets" subdirectory inside the datadir,
so it could be surprising that setting -walletdir manually would choose a
directory rooted in a completely different location.

There is no more need to install a new compiler. This simplifies instructions a lot.
From discussion with @fanquake on IRC I first wanted to add a new section for 6.2, but that made the document a complex mess. I think it's good enough (and more maintainable too) to only support the most recent release.
Includes #11976.
I moved the "resource limits" section to the end as I didn't seem to need it with clang, but this may vary based on source changes and the phase of the moon so it's good to keep it as optional extra information.

As discussed in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11289#issuecomment-334600457, adds the CScripts from the wallet to the `dumpwallet` RPC and then allows them to be imported with the `importwallet` RPC. Includes a basic test, and modifies the helptext of the dumpwallet RPC.
Notes:
- Reviewers: use `?w=1` to avoid the indentation-only change in commit `Add scripts to importwallet RPC `
- currently the scripts are followed with `# addr=` comments just as the other keys are, unsure if this might confuse users into thinking all the scripts are for valid P2SH addresses though, but I don't think that should be an issue.
- there are no birthtimes for scripts, so script imports don't affect rescans
- `importwallet` imports the CScripts but I'm not sure how to approach specifying whether scripts are for P2SH addresses, BIP173 addresses, etc. whether that matters or not. Otherwise the RPC helptext might just need modification.

Pull request description:
This PR improves the BSD compatibility of the bdb4 installer script.
See #11921, #11868.
I've tested this on OpenBSD 6.2 (clang) and Ubuntu 16.04 (gcc).
This needs testing on OSX at least, ~~and on gcc/Linux to make sure that applying the patch unconditionally doesn't negatively affect gcc~~.
~~NB: this is not yet sufficient to make `install_db4.sh` work on FreeBSD, as we need to use yet another `sha256` tool there. But it's a step in the right direction.~~
### contrib: New clang patch for install_db4
Replace the clang patch with a new and improved version that also fixes the build issues with OpenBSD and FreeBSD's clang, and apply it unconditionally.
Thanks to @fanquake for finding the patch.
### contrib: Make X=Y arguments work in install_db4
Trailing X=Y arguments are supposed to be passed through unchanged to bdb's configure. This was not the case, at least with OpenBSD 6.2's shell.
Fix this by not storing the arguments in a temporary variable but passing "$@" through directly.
### contrib: FreeBSD compatibility in install_db4.sh
Unfortunately, FreeBSD uses yet another syntax for `sha256`.
Support FreeBSD's syntax too. Using `uname` is a bit of a hack but it works and I found no way to distinguish the two.

Pull request description:
Closes#11348
Adds a `-walletdir` parameter which specifies a directory to use for wallets, allowing them to be stored separately from the 'main' data directory. Creates a new `wallets/` directory in datadir if this is the first time running, and defaults to using it if it exists.
Includes tests and release notes. Things which might need to be considered more:
- there is no 'lock' on the wallets directory, which might be needed?
- because this uses a new wallets/ directory by default, downgrading to an earlier version won't see the wallets in that directory (not a big deal though, users can just copy them up to the main dir)
- jnewbery suggested putting each wallet in its own directory, which is a good idea, but out of scope for this PR IMO. EDIT: this is being done in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11687
- doc/files.md needs updating (will do soon)
I also considered including a cleanup by removing caching of data directory paths and instead just initialise them once on startup (c.f. #3073), but decided it wasn't super relevant here will just complicate review.
