2fb9c1e shuffle selected coins before transaction finalization (Gregory Sanders)
Pull request description:
Currently inputs are ordered based on COutPoint ordering, which while doesn't leak additional internal wallet state, likely further fingerprints the wallet as a Core wallet to observers.
Note: This slightly changed behavior of `fundrawtransaction` in that the newly-appended inputs will now be shuffled rather than in outpoint-order. This does not break API compatibility.
Simple shuffling of the coins being returned will hopefully allow the wallet to blend in a bit more, in lieu of additional data to find what other wallets are doing, or another standard, ala @gmaxwell's suggested of ordering via scriptPubKey.

CKeyStore is a rich interface that provides many features, including knowledge
of scripts and pubkeys for solving, private keys for signing, in addition to
watch-only keys and scripts, and distinguishing lack of keys from them just
being encrypted.
The signing logic in script/sign does not actually need most of these features.
Here we introduce a simpler interface (SigningProvider) which *only* provides
keys and scripts. This is actually sufficient for signing.
In addtion, we swap the dependency between keystore and script/sign
(keystore now depends on script/script with CKeyStore deriving from
SigningProvider, rather than CKeyStore being the interface that signing
relies on).

Pull request description:
Rename account to label where appropriate
This change only updates strings and adds RPC aliases, but should simplify the implementation of address labels in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7729, by getting renaming out of the way and letting that change focus on semantics.
The difference between accounts and labels is that labels apply only to addresses, while accounts apply to both addresses and transactions (transactions have "from" and "to" accounts). The code associating accounts with transactions is clumsy and unreliable so we would like get rid of it.

1e0ee90 Use best-fit strategy in Arena, now O(log(n)) instead O(n) (Martin Ankerl)
Pull request description:
This replaces the first-fit algorithm used in the Arena with a best-fit. According to "Dynamic Storage Allocation: A Survey and Critical Review", Wilson et. al. 1995, http://www.scs.stanford.edu/14wi-cs140/sched/readings/wilson.pdf, both startegies work well in practice.
The advantage of using best-fit is that we can switch the O(n) allocation to O(log(n)). Additionally, some previously O(log(n)) operations are now O(1) operations by using hash maps. The end effect is that the benchmark runs about 2.5 times faster on my machine:
# Benchmark, evals, iterations, total, min, max, median
old: BenchLockedPool, 5, 530, 5.25749, 0.00196938, 0.00199755, 0.00198172
new: BenchLockedPool, 5, 1300, 5.11313, 0.000781493, 0.000793314, 0.00078606
I've run all unit tests and benchmarks, and increased the number of iterations so that BenchLockedPool takes about 5 seconds again.

Support is added to serialize arrays of type char or unsigned char directly,
without any wrappers. All invocations of the FLATDATA wrappers that are
obsoleted by this are removed.
This includes a patch by Russell Yanofsky to make char casting type safe.
The serialization of CSubNet is changed to serialize a bool directly rather
than though FLATDATA. This makes the serialization independent of the size
of the bool type (and will use 1 byte everywhere).

Pull request description:
There are currently two ways how to generate new receiving addresses in the GUI (which leads to code duplication or required refactoring, see #12520).
Since the address-book is probably something that should be removed in the long run, suppressing the new-button in receive-mode could be a first step in deprecating the address book.
With this PR, users can still edit existing receiving address book entries and they can still create new sending address book entries.

Using VARINT with signed types is dangerous because negative values will appear to serialize correctly, but then deserialize as positive values mod 128.
This commit changes the VARINT macro to trigger a compile error by default if called with an signed value, and it updates existing broken uses of VARINT to pass a special flag that lets them keep working with no changes in behavior.
There is some discussion about this issue here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9693#issuecomment-278701473. I think another good change along these lines would be to make `GetSizeOfVarInt` and `WriteVarInt` throw exceptions if they are passed numbers less than 0 to serialize. But unlike this change, that would be a change in runtime behavior, and need more consideration.

Pull request description:
This is another fragment of improvements from #10785.
The current serialization code does not support serializing/deserializing from/to temporaries (like `s >> CFlatData(script)`). As a result, there are many invocations of the `REF` macro which in addition to changing the reference type also changes the constness. This is unnecessary in C++11 as we can use rvalue references now instead.
The first commit is an extra simplification we can make that removes the duplication of code between `READWRITE` and `READWRITEMANY` (and related functions).

It is redundant to check for the presence of MSG_NOSIGNAL macro in

MSG_NOSIGNAL is defined. Same for MSG_DONTWAIT.
In addition to that, the checks we had in configure.ac produce a
compiler warning about unused variable and thus could fail if
-Werror is present and erroneously proclaim that the macros are
not available.

In InvalidateBlock, we're calling NotifyBlockTip with the now-invalid block's prev regardless of what chain the ancestor block is on. This could create numerous issues, but it at least screws up `waitforblockheight` (or anything else relying on `rpc/blockchain.cpp:latestblock`) when InvalidateBlock is called on a block not in chainActive, which can happen via RPC.
Only call NotifyBlockTip when the block being marked invalid is on the active chain.

- `Get rid of CWalletTx default constructor` does what is described and eliminates the possibility of empty transaction entries being inadvertently created by mapWallet[hash] accesses.
Both of these changes were originally part of #9381

Currently, the READWRITE macro cannot be passed any non-const temporaries, as
the SerReadWrite function only accepts lvalue references.
Deserializing into a temporary is very common, however. See for example
things like 's >> VARINT(n)'. The VARINT macro produces a temporary wrapper
that holds a reference to n.
Fix this by accepting non-const rvalue references instead of lvalue references.
We don't propagate the rvalue-ness down, as there are no useful optimizations
that only apply to temporaries.
Then use this new functionality to get rid of many (but not all) uses of the
'REF' macro (which casts away constness).

Replace all `mapBlockIndex` lookups with the new `LookupBlockIndex()`. In some cases it avoids a second lookup.

42343c748 Split up and sanitize CAccountingEntry serialization (Pieter Wuille)
029ecac1b Split up and sanitize CWalletTx serialization (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
This is a small subset of changes taken from #10785, fixing a few of the craziest constness violations in the serialization code.
`CWalletTx` currently serializes some of its fields by embedding them in a key-value `mapValue`, which is modified (and then fixed up) even from the `Serialize` method (for which `mapValue` is const). `CAccountingEntry` goes even further in that it stores such a map by appending it into `strComment` after a null char, which is again later fixed up again.
Fix this by splitting the serialization and deserialization code, and making the serialization act on a copy of `mapValue` / `strComment`.

fac70134a rpc: Update createrawtransaction examples (MarcoFalke)
fa06dfce0 [rpc] createrawtransaction: Accept sorted outputs (MarcoFalke)
8acd25d85 rpc: Allow typeAny in RPCTypeCheck (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
The second parameter of the `createrawtransaction` is a dictionary of the outputs. This comes with at least two drawbacks:
* In case of duplicate keys, either of them might silently disappear, with no user feedback at all. A user needs to make other mistakes, but this could eventually lead to abnormal tx fees.
* A dictionary does not guarantee that keys are sorted. Again, a user needs to keep this in mind, as it could eventually lead to excessive tx fees.
Even though my scenario of loss-of-funds is unlikely to happen, I see it as a inconvenience that should be fixed.

Allows SelectCoinsMinConf and SelectCoins be able to switch between
using BnB or Knapsack for choosing coins.
Has SelectCoinsMinConf do the preprocessing necessary to support either
BnB or Knapsack. This includes calculating the filtering the effective
values for each input.
Uses BnB in CreateTransaction to find an exact match for the output.
If BnB fails, it will fallback to the Knapsack solver.
Moves the current coin selection algorithm out of SelectCoinsMinConf
and puts it in coinselection.{cpp,h}. The new function, KnapsackSolver,
instead of taking a vector of COutputs, will take a vector of CInputCoins
that is prepared by SelectCoinsMinConf.
Changes CInputCoin to coinselection and to use CTransactionRef in
order to avoid a circular dependency. Also moves other coin selection
specific variables out of wallet.h to coinselectoin.h
f4b68b3f8f Log fatal LevelDB errors more verbosely (Evan Klitzke)
Pull request description:
The `leveldb::Status` class logs the filename of corrupted files, which might be useful when looking at error reports from usres. In theory this is already logged via the `LogPrintf()` statement in `HandleError()`, but that may not always be close to where the final error message is logged, e.g. see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/11355#issuecomment-340340542 where the log trace provided by the user does not contain that information (and other user comments in the same issue).
This also adds a log message instructing the user to run the process with `-debug=leveldb`, which provides much more verbose error messages about LevelDB internals. This may not really help much, but improving the error messages here can't hurt.
