Many options are extremely technical, and refer internals, making it
difficult to translate usefully. This came up in discussion of e.g.
#10949. If a message is not understood by translators (which are
typically end-users, not developers) they'll either translate it
literally, making it harder to understand instead of easier, with the
added drawback of the user no longer being able to google it.
Also the translation was only working for bitcoin-qt as with
the console programs, there is no translation backend. So it was
injecting never-used translation messages for bitcoin-cli, -tx.
For these reasons, stop translating options help completely. This should
not affect the output **in any way** except for bitcoin-qt when a
non-English language is configured in the locale.
This implements #10962.
Pass an error message back from CWallet::Verify(), and call
InitError/InitWarning from WalletInit::Verify().
This means that we can call CWallet::Verify() independently from
WalletInit and not have InitErrors printed to stdout. It also means that
the error can be reported to the user if dynamic wallet load fails.
This allows a single wallet to be verified. Prior to this commit, all
wallets were verified together by the WalletInit::Verify() function at
start-up.
Individual wallet verification will be done when loading wallets
dynamically at runtime.
WalletInit::Start calls postInitProcess() for each wallet. Previously
each call to postInitProcess() would attempt to schedule wallet
background flushing.
Just start wallet background flushing once from WalletInit::Start().
fac0db0 wallet: Make fee settings non-static members (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
The wallet header defined some globals (they were called "settings"), that should be class members instead.
This commit is hopefully only refactoring, apart from a multiwallet bugfix: Calling the rpc `settxfee` for one wallet, would set (and change) the fee rate for all loaded wallets. (See added test case)

3476e3c [wallet] Fix zapwallettxes/multiwallet interaction. (John Newbery)
Pull request description:
`-zapwallettxes` should be disallowed when starting bitcoin in multiwallet mode.
There's code in `WalletInit::ParameterInteraction()` to disallow `-zapwallettxes` when running in multiwallet mode. This code functioned as expected when passing the parameter `-zapwallettxes=1`, but not when passing the parameter `-zapwallettxes` (ie without the value specified). Fix that and add a test.
The new test in the
_[wallet] [tests] Test disallowed multiwallet params_ commit reproduces the bug and should fail against master.
Fixes#12505

Pull request description:
This continues the work of #7965. This PR, along with several others, would remove the remaining dependencies from libbitcoin_server.a on libbitcoin_wallet.a.
To create the interface, I've just translated all the old init.cpp wallet function calls into an interface class. I've not done any thinking about whether it makes sense to change that interface by combining/splitting those calls. This is a purely internal interface, so there's no problem in changing it later.

This change should make it easier for users to make complete backups of wallets
because they can now just back up the specified `-wallet=<path>` path directly,
instead of having to back up the specified path as well as the transaction log
directory (for incompletely flushed wallets).
Another advantage of this change is that if two wallets are located in the same
directory, they will now use their own BerkeleyDB environments instead using a
shared environment. Using a shared environment makes it difficult to manage and
back up wallets separately because transaction log files will contain a mix of
data from all wallets in the environment.
Remove requirement that two wallet files can only be opened at the same time if
they are contained in the same directory.
This change mostly consists of updates to function signatures (updating
functions to take fs::path arguments, instead of combinations of strings,
fs::path, and CDBEnv / CWalletDBWrapper arguments).
596c446 [wallet] use P2WPKH change output if any destination is P2WPKH or P2WSH (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
If `-changetype` is not explicitly set, then regardless of `-addresstype`, the wallet will use a ~`bech32` change address~ `P2WPKH` change output if any destination is `P2WPKH` or `P2WSH`.
This seems more intuitive to me and more in line with the spirit of [BIP-69](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0069.mediawiki).
When combined with #11991 a QT user could opt to use `bech32` exclusively without having to figure out how to launch with `-changetype=bech32`, although so would #11937.

Also warn if bitcoind is configured to use a relative -datadir path.
Specifying paths relative to the current working directory in a daemon process
can be dangerous, because files can fail to be located even if the
configuration doesn't change, but the daemon is started up differently.
Specifying a relative -datadir now adds a warning to the debug log. It would
not be backwards-compatible to forbid relative -datadir paths entirely, and it
could also be also inconvenient for command line testing.
Specifying a relative -walletdir now results in a startup error. But since the
-walletdir option is new in 0.16.0, there should be no compatibility issues.
Another reason not to use working directory paths for -walletdir specifically
is that the default -walletdir is a "wallets" subdirectory inside the datadir,
so it could be surprising that setting -walletdir manually would choose a
directory rooted in a completely different location.

Pull request description:
This implements a minimum viable implementation of SegWit wallet support, based on top of #11389, and includes part of the functionality from #11089.
Two new configuration options are added:
* `-addresstype`, with options `legacy`, `p2sh`, and `bech32`. It controls what kind of addresses are produced by `getnewaddress`, `getaccountaddress`, and `createmultisigaddress`.
* `-changetype`, with the same options, and by default equal to `-addresstype`, that controls what kind of change is used.
All wallet private and public keys can be used for any type of address. Support for address types dependent on different derivation paths will need a major overhaul of how our internal detection of outputs work. I expect that that will happen for a next major version.
The above also applies to imported keys, as having a distinction there but not for normal operations is a disaster for testing, and probably for comprehension of users. This has some ugly effects, like needing to associate the provided label to `importprivkey` with each style address for the corresponding key.
To deal with witness outputs requiring a corresponding redeemscript in wallet, three approaches are used:
* All SegWit addresses created through `getnewaddress` or multisig RPCs explicitly get their redeemscripts added to the wallet file. This means that downgrading after creating a witness address will work, as long as the wallet file is up to date.
* All SegWit keys in the wallet get an _implicit_ redeemscript added, without it being written to the file. This means recovery of an old backup will work, as long as you use new software.
* All keypool keys that are seen used in transactions explicitly get their redeemscripts added to the wallet files. This means that downgrading after recovering from a backup that includes a witness address will work.
These approaches correspond to solutions 3a, 1a, and 5a respectively from https://gist.github.com/sipa/125cfa1615946d0c3f3eec2ad7f250a2. As argued there, there is no full solution for dealing with the case where you both downgrade and restore a backup, so that's also not implemented.
`dumpwallet`, `importwallet`, `importmulti`, `signmessage` and `verifymessage` don't work with SegWit addresses yet. They're remaining TODOs, for this PR or a follow-up. Because of that, several tests unexpectedly run with `-addresstype=legacy` for now.

This introduces two command line flags (-addresstype and -changetype) which control
the type of addresses/outputs created by the GUI and RPCs. Certain RPCs allow
overriding these (`getnewaddress` and `getrawchangeaddress`). Supported types
are "legacy" (P2PKH and P2SH-multisig), "p2sh-segwit" (P2SH-P2WPKH and P2SH-P2WSH-multisig),
and "bech32" (P2WPKH and P2WSH-multisig).
A few utility functions are added to the wallet to construct different address type
and to add the necessary entries to the wallet file to be compatible with earlier
versions (see `CWallet::LearnRelatedScripts`, `GetDestinationForKey`,
`GetAllDestinationsForKey`, `CWallet::AddAndGetDestinationForScript`).
GUI wallet uses RBF by default, regardless of -walletrbf.
RPC and debug console in the GUI remain unchanged; they don't
use RBF by default, unless launched with -walletrbf=1.

Rationale:
- this init function can now open multiple wallets (hence
Wallet->Wallets)
- This is named as the antonym to CloseWallets(), which carries out the
opposite action.
