Change `-conf`'s and others' help messages to indicate that relative path
values will be prefixed by the datadir path. This behavior is confusing when
attempting to specify a configuration file in the current directory with
`-conf=bitcoin.conf`, but loading the `bitcoin.conf` file in ~/.bitcoin
datadir.
c409b1adac [rpc] Reduce scope of cs_main and cs_wallet locks in listtransactions (João Barbosa)
Pull request description:
Trivial change, no behaviour change.
Benchmark done as follow:
- run with `-regtest`
- wallet with 5000 transactions
- measured the time spent with the lock and the total time
- times are an average of 100 `listtransactions --count=...` calls
| `--count` | lock (ms) | total (ms) | saving |
|--:|--:|--:|--:|
| 10 | 0.2230 | 0.2510 | 11% |
| 100 | 2.5150 | 2.8690 | 12% |
| 1000 | 20.0320 | 23.3490 | 14% |
| 10000 | 105.2070 | 125.5310 | 16% |

d3e467520f Properly alphabetize output of CLI --help option. (murrayn)
Pull request description:
The --help output of bitcoind, bitcoin-cli, bitcoin-tx, qt/bitcoin-qt, et al. is only about 90% alphabetized by option, which is kind of sloppy and occasionally misleading. This change (mostly) organizes the output alphabetically.

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.

This adds support for setting the environment variable `BUILDDIR`
to point to executables that are outside the source directory.
E.g. to invoke the tool when the build is in $PWD/build:
```bash
BUILDDIR=$PWD/build contrib/devtools/gen-manpages.sh
```
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. 😄

aac6bce112 test: Make ua_comment test pass on 0.16.0 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
The specific length of the uacomment is one shorter on `0.16.0` than on `0.15.99` causing the (stupid) test to fail.
This change makes `assert_start_raises_init_error` optionally take a regexp, so that the error message can be checked without being specific about the reported length.
