96d32a7bc0 [docs] Update release-process.md (Jon Atack)
Pull request description:
Updates to `release-notes.md`:
- Write an introduction explaining how to use `release-notes.md` as a template for the release notes draft wiki for collaborative editing at https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-devwiki/wiki, as seen for the 0.17.0 and 0.18.0 releases.
Updates to `release-process.md`:
- Create a release notes draft wiki at https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-devwiki/wiki.
- As per http://www.erisian.com.au/bitcoin-core-dev/log-2019-03-28.html#l-342, for the period during which the release notes are being edited on the wiki, the version on the branch should be wiped and replaced with a link to the wiki which should be used for all announcements until final.
- Before -final, remove the "Needs release note" label from relevant PRs/issues and merge the release notes from the wiki into the branch.
- Create a pinned meta-issue dedicated to testing the release candidate and communicate it in release announcements where useful. The former is done in practice (e.g. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/15555, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/14902) and the latter addresses the discussion here yesterday: https://x0f.org/web/statuses/101753569204220416.
- Reorganise the headers in the Branch Updates section.
- Update the version numbers in the examples.
- Adapt and merge in the updates in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15692.

d20d756752 rpc: faster getblockstats using BlockUndo data (Felix Weis)
Pull request description:
Using undo data for a block (rev?????.dat) we can retrieve value information about prevouts and calculate the final transaction fee (rate). This approach is about 80x faster, drops the requirement for `-txindex`, and works for all non-pruned blocks.

When setting up bitcoin core on my new MacBook via the [`macOS Build Instructions and Notes`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-osx.md), running `touch "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/bitcoin.conf"` resulted in `No such file or directory` because my `/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/` folder had not been created yet.
