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.

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.

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.

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.
Tree-SHA512: 824d685e11ac2259a26b5ece99c67a7bda94a570cd921472c464243ee356b7734595ad35cc439b34357135df041ed9cba951e6edac194935c3a55a1dc4fcbdea
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.

```
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.

2ca632e5b4 test: Build fuzz targets into seperate executables (MarcoFalke)
fab4bed68a [test] fuzz: make test_one_input return void (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Currently our fuzzer is a single binary that decides on the first few bits of the buffer what target to pick. This is ineffective as the fuzzer needs to "learn" how the fuzz targets are organized and could get easily confused. Not to mention that the (seed) corpus can not be categorized by target, since targets might "leak" into each other. Also the corpus would potentially become invalid if we ever wanted to remove a target...
Solve that by building each fuzz target into their own executable.

Pull request description:
No one seems to use this "feature", and at any rate the behavior of relaying transactions when they violate local policy is error-prone, if we ever consider changing the ban behavior of our software from one version to the next.
Defaulting this to off means that users who use -whitelist won't be unexpectedly surprised by this interaction. If anyone is still relying on this feature, it can still be explicitly turned on.

da6011826a Fix macOS launch-at-startup memory issue (Jonas Schnelli)
516437a1b7 Qt: remove macOS launch-at-startup option when compiled with > macOS 10.11 (Jonas Schnelli)
Pull request description:
The launch-at-startup API Bitcoin Core uses on macOS where removed in macOS 10.11 leading to a segmentation-fault due to the weak-linking when not actively compiled against SDK 10.11 (`-mmacosx-version-min=10.11`)
This PR removes the launch-at-startup feature on macOS when compiled with macOS min version > 10.11 (the default is always the macOS version you compile on).
**The depends built binaries (Gitian) are not affected since we are building with min macOS 10.10.**
Users self compiling on macOS > 10.11 can re-enable the feature by compiling with min version <= 10.11 (`CXXFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.11" CFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.11" ./configure`)
**Isn't there a new API from Apple?**
Yes, [there is](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystemStartup/Chapters/CreatingLoginItems.html).
It will require to create a helper application which needs to be embedded in the .app folder (needs code signing as well). Developers willing to go down that rabbit hole are welcome.

c37851de57 rpc: Make unloadwallet wait for complete wallet unload (João Barbosa)
Pull request description:
Currently the `unloadwallet` RPC is asynchronous, it only signals the intent to unload the wallet and then returns the response to the client. The actual unload can happen later and the client has no way to be notified of that.
This PR makes the `unloadwallet` RPC synchronous, meaning that it blocks until the wallet is fully unloaded.

Mostly, I layed out the concept to open the PR for refinement and getting feedback if the approach is okay. Changes are expected.
Two points:
- The values for both new consts `TESTNET_BLOCK_CHAIN_SIZE` and `TESTNET_CHAIN_STATE_SIZE` is certainly not optimal; I just checked the size of my testnet3 related dirs and set them to little bit higher values. Which values should be used?
- Should we do something like this to regtest? Or these "niceties" do not matter when on regtest?
Thanks!

Pull request description:
This PR upgrades `expat` and `qt` in depends. The intention is to upgrade Qt in master to the latest point release of the current Qt LTS. This change can then be back-ported to the 0.17 branch (wether it makes it into 0.17.1 or not).
Then, sometime before the 0.18.0 release, we could move to using Qt 5.12+ in depends (which is also LTS). That discussion, as well as minimum supported Qt versions is in #13478.

a46c8476e9 disables a bunch of qt features we aren't currently using. This speeds up the qt depends build slightly (also decreases the size of the built `qt-5.9.7` tar by about 2%). The disabling is somewhat unintuitive, hence `[wip]` until after a travis run and gitian build.

The first mention of using the bitcoin-core repo is from late 2015 in #7157. I didn't check when the last common ancestor commit is.
I couldn't find documentation as to why (these things just happen in open source of course), but at minimum we should make this more clear.

Pull request description:
This PR adds functionality to convert a script to a descriptor, given a `SigningProvider` with the relevant information about public keys and redeemscripts/witnessscripts.
The feature is exposed in `listunspent`, `getaddressinfo`, and `scantxoutset` whenever these calls are applied to solvable outputs/addresses.
This is not very useful on its own, though when we add RPCs to import descriptors, or sign PSBTs using descriptors, these strings become a compact and standalone way of conveying everything necessary to sign an output (excluding private keys).
Unit tests and rudimentary RPC tests are included (more relevant tests can be added once RPCs support descriptors).
Fixes#14503.
