This tracks the set of all known invalid-themselves blocks (ie
blocks which we attempted to connect but which were found to be
invalid). This is used to cheaply check if new headers build on an
invalid chain.
While we're at it we also resolve an edge-case in invalidateblock
on pruned nodes which results in them needing a reindex if they
fail to reorg.
This is a simple change that makes our accept requirements the
same as our request requirements, (ever so slightly) further
decoupling our consensus logic from our FindNextBlocksToDownload
logic in net_processing.
There is no reason to wish to store blocks on disk always just
because a peer is whitelisted. This appears to be a historical
quirk to avoid breaking things when the accept limits were added.
Nowhere else in the protocol do we send headers which are for
blocks we have not fully validated except in response to getheaders
messages with a null locator. On my public node I have not seen any
such request (whether for an invalid block or not) in at least two
years of debug.log output, indicating that this should have minimal
impact.
Reading the variable mapBlockIndex requires holding the mutex cs_main.
The new "Disconnect outbound peers relaying invalid headers" code
added in commit 37886d5e2f and merged
as part of #11568 two days ago did not lock cs_main prior to accessing
mapBlockIndex.
cc5c39d [Build] Add AM_OBJCXXFLAGS and QT_PIE_FLAGS to OBJCXXFLAGS to future-proof darwin targets (fanquake)
f8c6697 Fix automake warnings when running autogen.sh (Evan Klitzke)
Pull request description:
Adjusted @eklitzke's commit to completely remove GZIP_ENV.
Added a commit to address OBJCXXFLAGS.
Rebased on master.
Relevant info from @theuni & #11013 below.
--------
GZIP_ENV was indeed added for determinism, but gitian exports this as needed, so it's not really necessary. I'd rather just remove it.
The mm.o rule was added to support XCode 4.2's ancient version of automake. That's irrelevant now, so it makes sense to remove that too.
All darwin targets are PIE by default, so we don't technically need the flags, but I'd be more comfortable if we hooked up the OBJCXXFLAGS in case future ones are added.
--------
The second commit addresses the last point, but could probably use a better commit message.
These warnings are removed from autogen output:

37886d5e2 Disconnect outbound peers relaying invalid headers (Suhas Daftuar)
4637f1852 moveonly: factor out headers processing into separate function (Suhas Daftuar)
Pull request description:
Alternate to #11446.
Disconnect outbound (non-manual) peers that serve us block headers that are already known to be invalid, but exempt compact block announcements from such disconnects.
We restrict disconnection to outbound peers that are using up an outbound connection slot, because we rely on those peers to give us connectivity to the honest network (our inbound peers are not chosen by us and hence could all be from an attacker/sybil). Maintaining connectivity to peers that serve us invalid headers is sometimes desirable, eg after a soft-fork, to protect unupgraded software from being partitioned off the honest network, so we prefer to only disconnect when necessary.
Compact block announcements are exempted from this logic to comply with BIP 152, which explicitly permits nodes to relay compact blocks before fully validating them.

5a6d00c Permit disconnection of outbound peers on bad/slow chains (Suhas Daftuar)
c60fd71 Disconnecting from bad outbound peers in IBD (Suhas Daftuar)
Pull request description:
The first commit will disconnect an outbound peer that serves us a headers chain with insufficient work while we're in IBD.
The second commit introduces a way to disconnect outbound peers whose chains fall out of sync with ours:
For a given outbound peer, we check whether their best known block (which is known from the blocks they announce to us) has at least as much work as our tip. If it doesn't, we set a 20 minute timeout, and if we still haven't heard about a block with as much work as our tip had when we set the timeout, then we send a single getheaders message, and wait 2 more minutes. If after two minutes their best known block has insufficient work, we disconnect that peer.
We protect 4 of our outbound peers (who provide some "good" headers chains, ie a chain with at least as much work as our tip at some point) from being subject to this logic, to prevent excessive network topology changes as a result of this algorithm, while still ensuring that we have a reasonable number of nodes not known to be on bogus chains.
We also don't require our peers to be on the same chain as us, to prevent accidental partitioning of the network in the event of a chain split. Note that if our peers are ever on a more work chain than our tip, then we will download and validate it, and then either reorg to it, or learn of a consensus incompatibility with that peer and disconnect. This PR is designed to protect against peers that are on a less work chain which we may never try to download and validate.
Tree-SHA512: 2e0169a1dd8a7fb95980573ac4a201924bffdd724c19afcab5efcef076fdbe1f2cec7dc5f5d7e0a6327216f56d3828884f73642e00c8534b56ec2bb4c854a656
Currently we have no rotation of outbound peers. If an outbound peer
stops serving us blocks, or is on a consensus-incompatible chain with
less work than our tip (but otherwise valid headers), then we will never
disconnect that peer, even though that peer is using one of our 8
outbound connection slots. Because we rely on our outbound peers to
find an honest node in order to reach consensus, allowing an
incompatible peer to occupy one of those slots is undesirable,
particularly if it is possible for all such slots to be occupied by such
peers.
Protect against this by always checking to see if a peer's best known
block has less work than our tip, and if so, set a 20 minute timeout --
if the peer is still not known to have caught up to a chain with as much
work as ours after 20 minutes, then send a single getheaders message,
wait 2 more minutes, and if a better header hasn't been received by then,
disconnect that peer.
Note:
- we do not require that our peer sync to the same tip as ours, just an
equal or greater work tip. (Doing otherwise would risk partitioning the
network in the event of a chain split, and is also unnecessary.)
- we pick 4 of our outbound peers and do not subject them to this logic,
to be more conservative. We don't wish to permit temporary network
issues (or an attacker) to excessively disrupt network topology.

listsinceblock would ignore invalid block hashes causing it to return a
completely unfiltered list of transactions.

A peer could try to waste our resources by sending us unrequested blocks with
low work, eg to fill up our disk. Since
e2652002b6 we no longer request blocks until we
know we're on a chain with more than nMinimumChainWork (our anti-DoS
threshold), but we would still process unrequested blocks that had more work
than our tip. This commit fixes that behavior.

Make sure wallet databases have unique fileids. If they don't, throw an error.
BDB caches do not work properly when more than one open database has the same
fileid, because values written to one database may show up in reads to other
databases.
Bitcoin will never create different databases with the same fileid, but users
can create them by manually copying database files.
BDB caching bug was reported by Chris Moore <dooglus@gmail.com>

258d33b41 [mempool] Mark unaccepted txs present in mempool as 'already there'. (Karl-Johan Alm)
Pull request description:
I was investigating the reasons for failed imports in mempool and noticed that `LoadMempool()` and `pwallet->postInitProcess()` (for all wallets) are executed concurrently. The wallet will end up importing transactions that `LoadMempool()` later tries to import; the latter will fail due to the tx already being in the mempool.
This PR changes the log message, adding an additional "already there" entry. For transactions not accepted into mempool, a check if they are in the mempool is done first, and if found, they are counted as 'already there', otherwise counted as 'failed'.
Also slight rewording for consistency (successes, failed, expired, ... -> succeeded, failed, expired).

Now using a std::unique_ptr, the Db instance is correctly released
when CDB initialization fails.
The internal CDB state and mapFileUseCount are only mutated when
the CDB initialization succeeds.
Note that UpdatedBlockTip is also used in net_processing to
announce new blocks to peers. As this may need additional review,
this change is included in its own commit.
