* This removes block-size-limiting code in favor of GBT clients
doing the limiting themselves (if at all).
* -blockmaxsize is deprecated and only used to calculate an implied
blockmaxweight, addressing confusion from multiple users.
* getmininginfo's currentblocksize return value was returning
garbage values, and has been removed, also removing a
GetSerializeSize call in some block generation inner loops and
potentially addressing some performance edge cases.

1aa97ee08 Add savemempool RPC (Lawrence Nahum)
467cbbcbf Add return value to DumpMempool (Lawrence Nahum)
Pull request description:
Adds a simple parameterless rpc command to dump the mempool.
Rationale:
Sometimes there can be a crash for whatever reason (bug, power loss, etc) causing the mempool.dat file to not be saved.
This change allows to script/cron the rpc call to have more regular saves to the file as well as cli/ad-hoc.
This should solve issue https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/11086

864cd2787 Move CBitcoinAddress to base58.cpp (Pieter Wuille)
5c8ff0d44 Introduce wrappers around CBitcoinAddress (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
This patch removes the need for the intermediary Base58 type `CBitcoinAddress`, by providing {`Encode`,`Decode`,`IsValid`}`Destination` functions that directly operate on the conversion between `std::string`s and `CTxDestination`.
As a side, it also fixes a number of indentation issues, and removes probably several unnecessary implicit `CTxDestination`<->`CBitcoinAddress` conversions.
This change is far from complete. In follow-ups I'd like to:
* Split off the specific address and key encoding logic from base58.h, and move it to a address.h or so.
* Replace `CTxDestination` with a non-`boost::variant` version (which can be more efficient as `boost::variant` allocates everything on the heap, and remove the need for `boost::get<...>` and `IsValidDestination` calls everywhere).
* Do the same for `CBitcoinSecret`, `CBitcoinExtKey`, and `CBitcoinExtPubKey`.
However, I've tried to keep this patch to be minimally invasive, but still enough to support non-Base58 addresses. Perhaps a smaller patch is possible to hack Bech32 support into `CBitcoinAddress`, but I would consider that a move in the wrong direction.

1. The RPC help text should use the constant CURRENCY_UNIT defined in
policy/feerate.cpp instead of the literal 'BTC'. In the following
2 RPC commands, 'BTC' is written directly in the help text.
1) estimatesmartfee
2) estimaterawfee
And also, for these help strings, the notation
'fee-per-kilobyte (in BTC)' is somewhat ambiguous.
To write more precisely, this commit changes to 'fee rate in BTC/kB'
with using the constant CURRENCY_UNIT.
2. Some RPC command use 'satoshis' as the unit. It should be written
as 'satoshis' instead of 'Satoshis' in the RPC help text.
So, this commit fixes this typo in getblocktemplate.
3. The phrase that '... feerate (BTC per KB) ...' is used to explain
the fee rate in the help text of following 2 RPC commands.
1) getmempoolinfo
2) fundrawtransaction
But they are different from other similar help text of the RPCs.
And also, 'KB' implies Kibibyte (2^10 byte).
To unify and to clarify, this commit changes these phrase to
'... fee rate in BTC/kB ...'.
(BTC references the constant 'CURRENCY_UNIT')
This contains most of the changes of 10563 "remove safe mode", but doesn't
remove the safe mode yet, but put an `ObserveSafeMode()` check in

This changes RPC methods to treat null arguments the same as missing arguments,
instead of throwing type errors. Specifically:
- `getbalance` method now returns the wallet balance when the `account` param
is null instead of throwing a type error (same as when parameter is missing).
It is still an error to supply `minconf` or `watchonly` options when the
account is null.
- `addnode` and `setban` methods now return help text instead of type errors if
`command` params are null (same as when params are missing).
- `sendrawtransaction`, `setaccount`, `movecmd`, `sendfrom`,
`addmultisigaddress`, `listaccounts`, `lockunspent` methods accept null
default values where missing values were previously allowed, and treat them
the same.
90d4d89 scripted-diff: Use the C++11 keyword nullptr to denote the pointer literal instead of the macro NULL (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
Since C++11 the macro `NULL` may be:
* an integer literal with value zero, or
* a prvalue of type `std::nullptr_t`
By using the C++11 keyword `nullptr` we are guaranteed a prvalue of type `std::nullptr_t`.
For a more thorough discussion, see "A name for the null pointer: nullptr" (Sutter &
Stroustrup), http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2007/n2431.pdf
With this patch applied there are no `NULL` macro usages left in the repo:
```
$ git grep NULL -- "*.cpp" "*.h" | egrep -v '(/univalue/|/secp256k1/|/leveldb/|_NULL|NULLDUMMY|torcontrol.*NULL|NULL cert)' | wc -l
0
```
The road towards `nullptr` (C++11) is split into two PRs:
* `NULL` → `nullptr` is handled in PR #10483 (scripted, this PR)
* `0` → `nullptr` is handled in PR #10645 (manual)

This is necessary because core_write has to write amounts in
TxToUniv, and mistakingly uses FormatMoney for that
(which is only for debugging).
We don't move AmountFromValue at the same time, as
this is more challenging due to the RPCError depencency
there.
Raise RPC_WALLET_NOT_SPECIFIED instead of RPC_METHOD_NOT_FOUND when a required
wallet filename was not specified in an RPC call.
Also raise more specific RPC_WALLET_NOT_FOUND error instead of
RPC_INVALID_PARAMETER in case an invalid wallet was specified, for consistency.

Pull request description:
Audited where named args will fail to use correct default values or may fail when additional optional arguments are added.
Previously for these parameters, it was fine to omit them as positional arguments, but it would trigger UniValue runtime errors to set them to null, or to omit them while passing named parameters with greater positions (which would internally set earlier missing arguments to null). Now null values are treated the same as missing values so these errors do not occur.
Included a few other small fixes while working on it.
I didn't bother fixing account-based rpc calls.

Pull request description:
This builds on #10589 (first 5 commits from that PR, last 5 commits are new)
The first couple commits refactor to use the CCoinControl class to pass fee calculation parameters around.
This allows for fixing the buggy interaction in QT between the global payTxFee which can be modified by the RPC call settxfee or temporarily modified by the QT custom fee settings. Before these changes the GUI could sometimes send a transaction with a recently set payTxFee and not respect the settings displayed in the GUI. After these changes, using the GUI does not involve the global transaction confirm target or payTxFee.
The prospective fee displays in the smart fee slider and the coin control dialog are changed to use the fee calculation from GetMinimumFee, this simplifies the code and makes them slightly more correct in edge cases.
Maxing the fee calculation with the mempool min fee is move from estimateSmartFee to GetMinimumFee.
This fixes a long standing bug, and should be tagged for 0.15 as it is holding up finalizing the estimatesmartfee RPC API before release.

This check has been moved to the wallet logic GetMinimumFee. The rpc call to
estimatesmartfee will now no longer return a result maxed with the mempool min
fee, but automated fee calculations from the wallet will produce the same result
as before and coincontrol and sendcoins dialogs in the GUI will correctly
display the right prospective fee.
changes to policy/fees.cpp include a big whitespace indentation change.
Some people keep thinking that MAX_BLOCK_BASE_SIZE is a separate
size limit from the weight limit when it fact it is superfluous,
and used in early tests before the witness data has been
validated or just to compute worst case sizes. The size checks
that use it would not behave any differently consensus wise
if they were eliminated completely.
Its correct value is not independently settable but is a function
of the weight limit and weight formula.
This patch just eliminates it and uses the scale factor as
required to compute the worse case constants.
It also moves the weight factor out of primitives into consensus,
which is a more logical place for it.
