bdb3231 Implements a virtual destructor on the BaseRequestHandler class. (251)
Pull request description:
Granted that there is no undefined behavior in the current implementation, this PR implements a virtual destructor on the BaseRequestHandler class to protect against undefined behavior in the event that an object of a potential future derived BaseRequestHandler class with a destructor is destroyed through a pointer to this base class.
This PR also fixes "_warning: delete called on 'BaseRequestHandler' that is abstract but has non-virtual destructor [-Wdelete-non-virtual-dtor]_" warnings in environments where the project is built with the `-Wsystem-headers` flag; or environments where the `-Wdelete-non-virtual-dtor` diagnostics flag fires from system headers.

Change `-conf`'s and others' help messages to indicate that relative path
values will be prefixed by the datadir path. This behavior is confusing when
attempting to specify a configuration file in the current directory with
`-conf=bitcoin.conf`, but loading the `bitcoin.conf` file in ~/.bitcoin
datadir.
Implements a virtual destructor on the BaseRequestHandler class to protect against undefined behavior in
the event that a derived BaseRequestHandler class has a destructor and an object of such derived class
is destroyed through a pointer to its base class.
Currently it's possible to accidentally type e.g.
bitcoin-cli -getinfo getbalance
and get an answer which can be confusing; the trialing arguments are
just ignored.
To avoid this, throw an error if the user provides arguments to
`-getinfo`.
This adds the infrastructure `BaseRequestHandler` class that takes care
of converting bitcoin-cli arguments into a JSON-RPC request object, and
converting the reply into a JSON object that can be shown as result.
This is subsequently used to handle the `-getinfo` option, which sends
a JSON-RPC batch request to the RPC server with
`["getnetworkinfo", "getblockchaininfo", "getwalletinfo"]`,
and after reply combines the result into what looks like a `getinfo`
result.
There have been some requests for a client-side `getinfo` and this
is my PoC of how to do it. If this is considered a good idea
some of the logic could be moved up to rpcclient.cpp and
used in the GUI console as well.

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.
05a55a6 Added EVENT_CFLAGS to test makefile to explicitly include libevent headers. (Karl-Johan Alm)
280a559 Added some simple tests for the RAII-style events. (Karl-Johan Alm)
7f7f102 Switched bitcoin-cli.cpp to use RAII unique pointers with deleters. (Karl-Johan Alm)
e5534d2 Added std::unique_ptr<> wrappers with deleters for libevent modules. (Karl-Johan Alm)
Sorry for the churn on this, but the current message (introduced in #9073)
isn't acceptable:
$ src/bitcoin-cli getinfo
rpc: couldn't connect to server
(make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port: -1 unknown)
Putting the error code after the words "RPC port" made me wonder whether
there was a port configuration issue.
This changes it to:
$ src/bitcoin-cli getinfo
error: couldn't connect to server: unknown (code -1)
(make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct RPC port)
4441018 Every main()/exit() should return/use one of EXIT_ codes instead of magic numbers (UdjinM6)
bd0de13 Fix exit codes: - `--help`, `--version` etc should exit with `0` i.e. no error ("not enough args" case should still trigger an error) - error reading config file should exit with `1` (UdjinM6)
- `--help`, `--version` etc should exit with `0` i.e. no error ("not enough args" case should still trigger an error)
- error reading config file should exit with `1`
Slightly refactor AppInitRPC/AppInitRawTx to return standard exit codes (EXIT_FAILURE/EXIT_SUCCESS) or CONTINUE_EXECUTION (-1)
Implements #7442 by adding an option `-stdin` which reads
additional arguments from stdin, one per line.
For example
```bash
echo -e "mysecretcode\n120" | src/bitcoin-cli -stdin walletpassphrase
echo -e "walletpassphrase\nmysecretcode\n120" | src/bitcoin-cli -stdin
```
