bc308ba999 [CI]: bump travis timeout for make check to 50m (Karl-Johan Alm)
Pull request description:
The travis windows build sometimes times out on `make check`. Bump the timeout from 20 to 50 minutes.
This is a short-term measure. We should figure out why the unit tests are slow in Wine.

6acb02d635 add release note for sendmany output shuffling (Gregory Sanders)
cf6ef3c139 shuffle sendmany recipients ordering to shuffle tx outputs (Gregory Sanders)
Pull request description:
Unless there is something important I'm missing, we're just possible leaking information by preserving whatever ordering json object ordering is giving us (no guarantees at all).
This is unneeded for `sendtoaddress` since there is only 1 or 2 outputs, and the change output is shuffled in.
This will not effect `*raw` behavior by design, since users generally want full control using those apis. Further PRs could add optional args to over-ride that behavior.
Alternative ideas would be to sort the outputs by some deterministic ordering. (this would require more refactoring since change outputs are created and handled by caller)

d2527bd Rename wallet_accounts.py test (Russell Yanofsky)
045eeb8 Rename account to label where appropriate (Russell Yanofsky)
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.

081bf54 Test that BnB is not used when there are preset inputs (Andrew Chow)
6ef9982 Actually disable BnB when there are preset inputs (Andrew Chow)
Pull request description:
We don't want to use BnB when there are preset inputs because there
is some weirdness with making that work with using the KnapsackSolver
as the fallback. Currently we say that we haven't used bnb when
there are preset inputs, but we don't actually disable BnB. This fixes
that.
I thought this was done originally. I guess it got lost in a rebase somewhere.

The blockmaxsize option was marked as deprecated in V0.15.1, and code
was added to convert provided blockmaxsize into blockmaxweight. However,
this code was incorrectly implemented, and blockmaxsize was silently
ignored.
No users have complained about blockmaxsize being ignored, so just
remove it in V0.17.

If the --datadir exists, but is not writable, the current error message on startup is 'Cannot obtain a lock on data directory foo. Bitcoin Core is probably already running.' This is misleading.
I believe this PR addresses #11668, although the issue is not Windows-specific.

5fbf7c4 fix nits: variable naming, typos (Martin Ankerl)
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.

c8330d4 qa: Use node.datadir instead of tmpdir in test framework (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Commit c53c9831ee introduced the utility function `get_datadir_path`, however not all places in the code use this util function. Using the util function everywhere makes it easier to review pull requests related to the datadir.
This commit replaces datadir path creation with the `datadir` member of `TestNode`, which itself uses `get_datadir_path`.

This allows for exact testing, since the match can be specified with a strict regex. Internal details (such as exact formatting of the error message) can still be fuzzed away by regex wildcards.

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).

This adds a READWRITEAS(type, obj) macro which serializes obj as if it
were casted to (const type&) when const, and to (type&) when non-const.
This makes it usable in serialization code that uses a single
implementation for both serialization and deserializing, which doesn't
know the constness of the object involved.

d843db7 Qt: remove "new" button during receive-mode in addressbook (Jonas Schnelli)
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.
