ece88fd Introduce BigEndian wrapper and use it for netaddress ports (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
This is another small improvement taken from #10785.
Instead of manually converting from/to BE format in the `CService` serializer, provide a generic way in serialize.h to serialize BE data (only 16 bits for now).

818dc74 Support serialization as another type without casting (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
This adds a `READWRITEAS(type, obj)` macro which serializes `obj` as if it were converted to `const type&` when `const`, and to `type&` when non-`const`. No actual cast is involved, so this only works when this conversion can be done automatically.
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.
This is a redo of #12712, using a slightly different interface.

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.
Using VARINT with signed types is dangerous because negative values will appear
to serialize correctly, but then deserialize as positive values mod 128.
This commit changes the VARINT macro to trigger an error by default if called
with an signed value, and updates broken uses of VARINT to pass a special flag
that lets them keep working with no change in behavior.
Currently, the READWRITE macro cannot be passed any non-const temporaries, as
the SerReadWrite function only accepts lvalue references.
Deserializing into a temporary is very common, however. See for example
things like 's >> VARINT(n)'. The VARINT macro produces a temporary wrapper
that holds a reference to n.
Fix this by accepting non-const rvalue references instead of lvalue references.
We don't propagate the rvalue-ness down, as there are no useful optimizations
that only apply to temporaries.
Then use this new functionality to get rid of many (but not all) uses of the
'REF' macro (which casts away constness).

To get the advantages of faster GetSerializeSize() implementations
back that were removed in "Make GetSerializeSize a wrapper on top of
CSizeComputer", reintroduce them in the few places in the form of a
specialized Serialize() implementation. This actually gets us in a
better state than before, as these even get used when they're invoked
indirectly in the serialization of another object.
The CSerAction's ForRead() method does not depend on any runtime
data, so guarantee that requests to it can be optimized out by
making it constexpr.
Suggested by Cory Fields.
Remove the nType and nVersion as parameters to all serialization methods
and functions. There is only one place where it's read and has an impact
(in CAddress), and even there it does not impact any of the recursively
invoked serializers.
Instead, the few places that need nType or nVersion are changed to read
it directly from the stream object, through GetType() and GetVersion()
methods which are added to all stream classes.
Given that in default GetSerializeSize implementations created by
ADD_SERIALIZE_METHODS we're already using CSizeComputer(), get rid
of the specialized GetSerializeSize methods everywhere, and just use
CSizeComputer. This removes a lot of code which isn't actually used
anywhere.
For CCompactSize and CVarInt this actually removes a more efficient
size computing algorithm, which is brought back in a later commit.
The stream implementations had two cascading layers (the upper one
with operator<< and operator>>, and a lower one with read and write).
The lower layer's functions are never cascaded (nor should they, as
they should only be used from the higher layer), so make them return
void instead.
Implement `begin_ptr` and `end_ptr` in terms of C++11 code,
and add a comment that they are deprecated.
Follow-up to developer notes update in 654a211622.
There's only one case where a vector containing a fundamental type is
serialized all-at-once, unsigned char. Anything else would lead to
strange results.
Use a dummy argument to overload in that case.
- it now takes over the passed file descriptor and closes it in the
destructor
- this fixes a leak in LoadExternalBlockFile(), where an exception could
cause the file to not getting closed
- disallow copies (like recently added for CAutoFile)
- make nType and nVersion private
