9ad6746ccd Use static_cast instead of C-style casts for non-fundamental types (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
A C-style cast is equivalent to try casting in the following order:
1. `const_cast(...)`
2. `static_cast(...)`
3. `const_cast(static_cast(...))`
4. `reinterpret_cast(...)`
5. `const_cast(reinterpret_cast(...))`
By using `static_cast<T>(...)` explicitly we avoid the possibility of an unintentional and dangerous `reinterpret_cast`. Furthermore `static_cast<T>(...)` allows for easier grepping of casts.
For a more thorough discussion, see ["ES.49: If you must use a cast, use a named cast"](https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines#es49-if-you-must-use-a-cast-use-a-named-cast) in the C++ Core Guidelines (Stroustrup & Sutter).

* Now that we have bip176, change "µBTC" to the more colloquial "bits"
* We retain the `µBTC (bits)` description in dropdowns and status bars.
The more concise "bits" is used when appended to numbers.

Bring up the modal progress overlay when the user clicks the spinner
icon in the task bar.
I think this is the intuitive thing to do when that icon is clicked.

47db075 qt: Plug many memory leaks (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Make ownership of the QThread object clear, so that the RPCConsole
can wait for the executor thread to quit before shutdown is called. This
increases overall thread safety, and prevents some objects from leaking
on exit.
None of these are very serious, and are leaks in objects that are
created at most one time.
In most cases this means properly using the QObject parent hierarchy,
except for BanTablePriv/PeerTablePriv which are not QObject,
so use a std::unique_ptr instead.
Add getNetworkActive()/setNetworkActive() method to client model.
Send network active status through NotifyNetworkActiveChanged.
Indicate in tool tip of gui status bar network indicator whether network activity is disabled.
Indicate in debug window whether network activity is disabled and add button to allow user to toggle network activity state.
* Minor formatting such as adjusting links
* Move sections of `doc/multiwallet-qt.md` to the source code and delete
the file, as it is outdated
* Fix typo in the release notes
* Amend release process to mention update of BLOCK_CHAIN_SIZE

To ensure the GUI closes when the "Minimize on close" window option is disabled, and the "Minimize to the tray instead of the taskbar" window option is enbaled, remove a check made against the "Minimize to the tray instead of the taskbar" value, made during GUI closure.
To ensure the GUI minimizes to the taskbar when the "Minimize on close" window option is enabled, and the "Minimize to the tray instead of the taskbar" window option is disabled, minimize the GUI and ignore the closure event.
My changes leave all tray icon and menu creation/initialization logic
untouched. It only shows or hides the icon according to the setting.
A new checkbox was added to the OptionsDialog under the Window tab. A
bool option named "hideTrayIcon" was added to OptionsModel. This
checkbox was mapped like other all options to the OptionsModel.
A signal was added to the OptionsModel for broadcasting changes the the
hideTrayIcon option. This signal was connected to a new slot added to
BitcoinGUI named setTrayIconVisible(bool). The slot simply hides or
shows the trayIcon in BitcoinGUI according to the parameter recieved.
