This commit attempts to clarify and correct the `-blocksdir` argument
description and default value. `-blocksdir` does not refer to the full
path to the actual `blocks` directory, but rather the root/parent
directory which contains the `blocks` directory. Accordingly, the
default value is `<datadir>` and not `<datadir>/blocks`. It also
attempts to clarify that only the `.dat` files containing block data are
impacted by `-blocksdir`, not the index files.

It includes the following policy changes:
* All GetRand* functions seed the stack pointer and rdrand result
(in addition to the performance counter)
* The periodic entropy added by the idle scheduler now seeds stack pointer,
rdrand and perfmon data (once every 10 minutes) in addition to
just a sleep timing.
* The entropy added when calling GetStrongRandBytes no longer includes
the once-per-10-minutes perfmon data on windows (it is moved to the
idle scheduler instead, where latency matters less).
Other changes:
* OpenSSL is no longer seeded directly anywhere. Instead, any generated
randomness through our own RNG is fed back to OpenSSL (after an
additional hashing step to prevent leaking our RNG state).
* Seeding that was previously done directly in RandAddSeedSleep is now
moved to SeedSleep(), which is indirectly invoked through ProcRand
from RandAddSeedSleep.
* Seeding that was previously done directly in GetStrongRandBytes()
is now moved to SeedSlow(), which is indirectly invoked through
ProcRand from GetStrongRandBytes().
This guarantees that OpenSSL is initialized properly whenever randomness
is used, even when that randomness is invoked from global constructors.
Note that this patch uses Mutex directly, rather than CCriticalSection.
This is because the lock-detection code is not necessarily initialized
during global constructors.
89282379ba threads: fix unitialized members in sched_param (Cory Fields)
Pull request description:
Rebased theuni's #14342.
Building with gcc 8.2 against musl libc, which apparently has more attributes available in its sched_param. The following warnings were produced:
warning: missing initializer for member 'sched_param::sched_ss_low_priority' [-Wmissing-field-initializers]
warning: missing initializer for member 'sched_param::sched_ss_repl_period' [-Wmissing-field-initializers]
warning: missing initializer for member 'sched_param::sched_ss_init_budget' [-Wmissing-field-initializers]
warning: missing initializer for member 'sched_param::sched_ss_max_repl' [-Wmissing-field-initializers]
Since the current thread may have interesting non-zero values for these fields, we want to be sure to only change the intended one. Query and modify the current sched_param rather than starting from a zeroed one.

These are separate events which need to be carried out by separate subsystems.
This also cleans up some whitespace and tabs in qt to avoid getting flagged by
the linter.
Current behavior is preserved.

e4a0c3547e Improve blocksdir functional test. (Hennadii Stepanov)
c3f1821ac7 Make blockdir always net specific (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
The blocks directory is net specific by definition.
Also this prevents the side effect of calling `GetBlocksDir(false)` in the non-mainnet environment.
Currently a new node creates an unused `blocks\` directory in the root of the data directory when `-testnet` or `-regtest` is specified.

Pull request description:
Fixes the error https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/14670#issuecomment-447255352 reported by @ken2812221.
There is a race between RPC stop and another concurrent call in the test framework. The connection must be established and the command `waitfornewblock` running before calling `stop`.
