3b706212ad doc: RPC documentation (Karel Bílek)
Pull request description:
The auto-generated RPC docs seem to work so far ( https://bitcoincore.org/en/doc/ + 0.17.0 https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoincore.org/pull/618 ). There are some problems (the design of the list on the right is not ideal, and apparently the huge list of pages slows down jekyll), but that can be fixed later; people are already linking to the docs now and looking for them there
So I am adding the RPC docs to the release process.
The script is here and it is written in golang, since I am most confident in the language; if necessary, I can try to rewrite to python, which is more common in bitcoin tooling

Also, they fail due to missing dependencies `make automake cmake pkg-config python3`
Fix this by removing the explicit version and splitting them into common instructions and instructions per linux architecture.

Use `MakeUnique` to construct objects owned by `unique_ptr`s.
Rationale:
* `MakeUnique` ensures exception safety in complex expressions.
* `MakeUnique` gives a more concise statement of the construction.

a2eb6f5405 [rpc] Add getnodeaddresses RPC command (chris-belcher)
Pull request description:
Implements issue https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/9463
New getnodeaddresses call gives access via RPC to the peers known by the node. It may be useful for bitcoin wallets to broadcast their transactions over tor for improved privacy without using the centralized DNS seeds. getnodeaddresses is very similar to the getaddr p2p method.
Please advise me on the best approach for writing an automated test. By my reading the getaddr p2p method also isn't really tested.

New getnodeaddresses call gives access via RPC to the peers known by
the node. It may be useful for bitcoin wallets to broadcast their
transactions over tor for improved privacy without using the
centralized DNS seeds. getnodeaddresses is very similar to the getaddr

Tests the new rpc call by feeding IP address to a test node via the p2p
protocol, then obtaining someone of those addresses with
getnodeaddresses and checking that they are a subset.
f1bd03eb01 [depends, zmq, doc] upgrade zeromq to 4.2.5 and avoid deprecated zeromq api functions (mruddy)
Pull request description:
Upgrade the ZeroMQ dependency from version 4.2.3 to the latest stable version 4.2.5.
This PR Follows the lead of https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11986.
I upgraded both patch files to correspond to the version `4.2.5` libzmq files.
I assume doing so is still necessary and correct.
Without updating the patch line numbers, things appear to work, but you get extra log messages while building `depends` because things don't exactly match, e.g.:
```
/bitcoin/depends> make zeromq
Extracting zeromq...
/bitcoin/depends/sources/zeromq-4.2.5.tar.gz: OK
Preprocessing zeromq...
patching file src/windows.hpp
Hunk #1 succeeded at 58 (offset 3 lines).
patching file src/thread.cpp
Hunk #1 succeeded at 307 with fuzz 2 (offset 87 lines).
Hunk #2 succeeded at 323 with fuzz 2 (offset 90 lines).
```
Updating the patches seemed cleaner, so I did it. Note that libzmq had some whitespace changes, so that's why the updated patches do too.

fa14b54a87 p2p: Disable BIP 61 by default (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
The live p2p network should not be used for debugging or as development aid when implementing the p2p protocol. Instead, applications should be tested locally (e.g. by inspecting the debug log of a validating node on the local network)
Using the p2p network for this purpose seems wasteful and even dangerous, as peers can not be trusted to send the correct reject messages or a reject message at all.

I also note that it asks to ping **wumpus** on IRC, to assist in generating a list of merged pulls and sort them into categories based on labels. I tried to turn this into a simple one-liner as well (something like ``git log --merges --format="- \`%h\` %s (%an)" v0.16.0..v0.16.1``), but it didn't seem to capture everything I needed.
Would it be worthwhile **wumpus** open-sourcing his code into `contrib/devtools` so there is no single point of failure (even if it can manually be worked around).

Qt4.x has been EOL since 2015, and at least Gentoo has, or is going to drop support for it. I wouldn't be surprised if other Linux distributions follow.
This removes Qt4 detection from the build system, as well as removes all Qt4 fallbacks from the code. Turns out there's more than I expected: this is going to make maintenance of the GUI code, as well as adding new features significantly easier.
(I know there's still some references left to qt4 in RPM and Debian build script, but I don't have the knowledge how to fix them)

The UI uses gigabytes for readability and easy of use. There is also no manual pruning UI (`prune=1`). The user will have to use `bitcoin.conf` for those things.
Fixes#6461. When combined with #13029 the user, after pruning their node, can safely reset settings and/or use bitcoind without having to edit `bitcoin.conf`. However I don't think that's an essential prerequisite.

fa3c910bfe test: Move linters to test/lint, add readme (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
This moves the checks and linters from `devtools` to a subfolder in `test`. (Motivated by my opinion that the dev tools are mostly for generating code and updating the repo whereas the linters are read-only checks.)
Also, adds a readme to clarify that checks and linters are only meant to prevent bugs and user facing issues, not merely stylistic preference or inconsistencies. (This is motivated by the diversity in developers and work flows as well as existing code styles. It would be too disruptive to change all existing code to a single style or too burdensome to force all developers to adhere to a single style. Also note that our style guide is changing, so locking in at the wrong style "too early" would only waste resources.)

87fe292d89 doc: Mention disabling BIP61 in bips.md (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
fe16dd8226 net: Add option `-enablebip61` to configure sending of BIP61 notifications (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
This commit adds a boolean option `-peersendreject`, defaulting to `1`, that can be used to disable the sending of [BIP61](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0061.mediawiki) `reject` messages. This functionality has been requested for various reasons:
- security (DoS): reject messages can reveal internal state that can be used to target certain resources such as the mempool more easily.
- bandwidth: a typical node sends lots of reject messages; this counts against upstream bandwidth. Also the reject messages tend to be larger than the message that was rejected.
On the other hand, reject messages can be useful while developing client software (I found them indispensable while creating bitcoin-submittx), as well as for our own test cases, so whatever the default becomes on the long run, IMO the functionality should be retained as option. But that's a discussion for later, for now it's simply a node operator decision.
Also adds a RPC test that checks the functionality.
