b191c7dfb7 doc: add comment explaining recentRejects-DoS behavior (James O'Beirne)
Pull request description:
When we receive invalid txs for the first time, we mark the sender as
misbehaving. If we receive the same tx before a new block is seen, we *don't*
punish the second sender (in the same way we do the original sender). It wasn't
initially clear to me that this is intentional, so add a clarifying comment.

Pull request description:
Make objects in range declarations immutable by default.
Rationale:
* Immutable objects are easier to reason about.
* Prevents accidental or hard-to-notice change of value.

fa6c3dea42 p2p: Clarify control flow in ProcessMessage() (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
`ProcessMessage` is effectively a massive switch case construct. In the past there were attempts to clarify the control flow in `ProcessMessage()` by moving each case into a separate static function (see #9608). It was closed because it wasn't clear if moving each case into a function was the right approach.
Though, we can quasi treat each case as a function by adding a return statement to each case. (Can be seen as a continuation of bugfix #13162)
This patch does exactly that.
Also note that this patch is a subset of previous approaches such as #9608 and #10145.

e254ff5d53 Introduce a maximum size for locators. (Gregory Maxwell)
Pull request description:
The largest sensible size for a locator is log in the number of blocks.
But, as noted by Coinr8d on BCT a maximum size message could encode a
hundred thousand locators. If height were used to limit the messages
that could open new attacks where peers on long low diff forks would
get disconnected and end up stuck.
Ideally, nodes first first learn to limit the size of locators they
send before limiting what would be processed, but common implementations
back off with an exponent of 2 and have an implicit limit of 2^32
blocks, so they already cannot produce locators over some size.
Locators are cheap to process so allowing a few more is harmless,
so this sets the maximum to 64-- which is enough for blockchains
with 2^64 blocks before the get overhead starts increasing.

This sets the limit to an absurdly high amount of 101 in order to
maximize compatibility with existing software.

d45b344ffd Bucket for inbound when scheduling invs to hide tx time (Gleb)
Pull request description:
It has been brought up to my attention that current random delays mechanism (originally intended to obfuscate transaction metadata) allows to easily estimate the time a transaction was received by a node.
It may be done by connecting multiple observer nodes to the same node. Each of those nodes will generate its own schedule of delays. Combined metadata regarding those events from different sources allows an observer to estimate transaction time.
After this patch a spy won't gain additional information by just creating multiple connections to a target.

02bbc05310 Rescope g_enable_bip61 to net_processing (Jesse Cohen)
Pull request description:
As part of a larger effort to decouple net_processing and validation a bit, these are a bunch of simple scope cleanups. I've moved things out of the header file that are only referenced in net_processing and added static (or anonymous namespace) modifiers to everything possible in net_processing.
There are a handful of functions which could be static except that they are exposed for the sake of unit testing - these are explicitly commented. There has been some discussion of a compile time annotation, but no conclusion has been reached on that yet.
This is somewhat related to other prs #12934#13413#13407 and will be followed by prs that reduce reliance on cs_main to synchronize data structures which are translation unit local to net_processing

I thought we had removed this a long time ago, TBH, its really
confusing feedback to users that we display whether a tx was
broadcast to immediate neighbor nodes, given that has little
indication of whether the tx propagated very far.

87fe292d89 doc: Mention disabling BIP61 in bips.md (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
fe16dd8226 net: Add option `-enablebip61` to configure sending of BIP61 notifications (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
This commit adds a boolean option `-peersendreject`, defaulting to `1`, that can be used to disable the sending of [BIP61](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0061.mediawiki) `reject` messages. This functionality has been requested for various reasons:
- security (DoS): reject messages can reveal internal state that can be used to target certain resources such as the mempool more easily.
- bandwidth: a typical node sends lots of reject messages; this counts against upstream bandwidth. Also the reject messages tend to be larger than the message that was rejected.
On the other hand, reject messages can be useful while developing client software (I found them indispensable while creating bitcoin-submittx), as well as for our own test cases, so whatever the default becomes on the long run, IMO the functionality should be retained as option. But that's a discussion for later, for now it's simply a node operator decision.
Also adds a RPC test that checks the functionality.

This is expected to increase performance because a deserialization and subsequent serialization roundtrip is avoided.

fad63eb [logging] Don't incorrectly log that REJECT messages are unknown. (John Newbery)
Pull request description:
Reject messages are logged to debug.log if NET debug logging is enabled.
Because of the way the `ProcessMessages()` function is structured,
processing for REJECT messages will also drop through to the default
branch and incorrectly log `Unknown command "reject" from peer-?`. Fix
that by exiting from `ProcessMessages()` early.

Seems providing at least minimal visibility to the failure is a good practice.
The only remaining ignored state is in LoadExternalBlockFile, where logging
would likely be spammy.
