f24ed6d39f Delete README_osx.md and move its contents into build-osx.md (Martin Erlandsson)
Pull request description:
With its current name, the file `doc/README_osx.md` looks like an entry point README for OSX users, but it only contains specific instructions on how to build a DMG.
This PR deletes the file and moves the contents of the file into `doc/build-osx.md`.

Pull request description:
To avoid accidentally regressing again on #15172, we should compile at least once with gcc4.8 (the minimum required version)
Note that this uses the trusty image, which will be removed in a few months from the docker hub, so in the future it had to be switched to the centos7 (or similar) image, which should come with gcc4.8 as well.

2ca632e5b4 test: Build fuzz targets into seperate executables (MarcoFalke)
fab4bed68a [test] fuzz: make test_one_input return void (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Currently our fuzzer is a single binary that decides on the first few bits of the buffer what target to pick. This is ineffective as the fuzzer needs to "learn" how the fuzz targets are organized and could get easily confused. Not to mention that the (seed) corpus can not be categorized by target, since targets might "leak" into each other. Also the corpus would potentially become invalid if we ever wanted to remove a target...
Solve that by building each fuzz target into their own executable.

6f6514a080 Correct units for "-dbcache" and "-prune" (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
Actually, all `dbcache`-related values in the code are measured in MiB (not in megabytes, MB) or in bytes (e.g., `nTotalCache`).
See: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/txdb.hba8c8b2227/src/init.cpp (L1405-L1424)
Also, "-prune" is fixed:
1. The GUI values in GB are translated to the node values in MiB correctly.
2. The maximum of the "prune" `QSpinBox` is not limited by default value of 99 (GB).
Fix: #15106

Pull request description:
This change removes uses of `chainActive` and `mapBlockIndex` globals in wallet code. It is a refactoring change which does not affect external behavior.
This is the next step in the larger #10973 refactoring change, which removes all other accesses to node global variables from wallet code. Doing this is useful to provide a better defined interface between the wallet and node, and necessary to allow wallet and node code to run in separate processes in #10102.

0297be61a Allow connections from misbehavior banned peers. (Gregory Maxwell)
Pull request description:
This allows incoming connections from peers which are only banned
due to an automatic misbehavior ban if doing so won't fill inbound.
These peers are preferred for eviction when inbound fills, but may
still be kept if they fall into the protected classes. This
eviction preference lasts the entire life of the connection even
if the ban expires.
If they misbehave again they'll still get disconnected.
The main purpose of banning on misbehavior is to prevent our
connections from being wasted on unhelpful peers such as ones
running incompatible consensus rules. For inbound peers this
can be better accomplished with eviction preferences.
A secondary purpose was to reduce resource waste from repeated
abuse but virtually any attacker can get a nearly unlimited
supply of addresses, so disconnection is about the best we can
do.
This can reduce the potential from negative impact due to incorrect misbehaviour bans.

Fix this by creating absolute paths through the combination of:

appear when exclusion of leveldb, secp256k1, etc., did not work as intended.

No one seems to use this "feature", and at any rate the behavior of relaying transactions when they violate local policy is error-prone, if we ever consider changing the ban behavior of our software from one version to the next.
Defaulting this to off means that users who use -whitelist won't be unexpectedly surprised by this interaction. If anyone is still relying on this feature, it can still be explicitly turned on.

fdf82ba18 Update all subprocess.check_output functions in CI scripts to be Python 3.4 compatible (Graham Krizek)
Pull request description:
CI is failing the `lint` stage on every Cron run (regular PR/Push runs still pass). The failure was introduced in 74ce326 and has been broken since. The Python version running in CI was downgraded to 3.4 from 3.6. There were a couple files that were using the `encoding` argument in the `subprocess.check_output` function. This was introduced in Python 3.6 and therefore broke the scripts that were using it. The `universal_newlines` argument was used as well, but in order to use it we must be able to set encoding because of issues on some BSD systems.
To get CI to pass, I removed all `universal_newline` and `encoding` args to the `check_ouput` function. Then I decoded all `check_output` return values. This should keep the same behavior but be Python 3.4 compatible.

Pull request description:
The launch-at-startup API Bitcoin Core uses on macOS where removed in macOS 10.11 leading to a segmentation-fault due to the weak-linking when not actively compiled against SDK 10.11 (`-mmacosx-version-min=10.11`)
This PR removes the launch-at-startup feature on macOS when compiled with macOS min version > 10.11 (the default is always the macOS version you compile on).
**The depends built binaries (Gitian) are not affected since we are building with min macOS 10.10.**
Users self compiling on macOS > 10.11 can re-enable the feature by compiling with min version <= 10.11 (`CXXFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.11" CFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.11" ./configure`)
**Isn't there a new API from Apple?**
Yes, [there is](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystemStartup/Chapters/CreatingLoginItems.html).
It will require to create a helper application which needs to be embedded in the .app folder (needs code signing as well). Developers willing to go down that rabbit hole are welcome.
