869193f5a6 docs: fixed bitcoin-cli -help output for help2man (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
Currently `bitcon-cli -help` output forces help2man to produce `.TP` and `.IP` commands instead of a single `.IP` command for `-stdinrpcpass` option.
Removing an extra space fixes this issue.
This pull request is rebased from #13879

The `help2man` parses a string containing two spaces between words with an issue:
it gives out `.TP` and `.IP` commands instead of a single `.IP` command.
Removing an extra space fixes this issue.
Currently the `-help` output for the `-stdin` option looks without any issue due to eliminating
of two spaces between words by a `FormatParagraph` call for this particular case.
For consistency and preventing from future regressions extra spaces have been removed from the both lines.
The redundant `strprintf` call has been removed aswell.

Some trivial maintenance to avoid having to do it again after the 0.17 branch off.
(The scripts to do this are in `./contrib/`)

This commit slightly changes the format of the "Usage" strings in CLI
`-help` messages to meet the expection of the help2man tool, which we
use to generate man pages. On the way, we remove a few calls to
`strprintf()`, which became superficial after commit 32fbfda.
If an unknown option is given via either the command line args or
the conf file, throw an error and exit
Update tests for ArgsManager knowing args
Ignore unknown options in the config file for bitcoin-cli
Fix tests and bitcoin-cli to match actual options used
Many options are extremely technical, and refer internals, making it
difficult to translate usefully. This came up in discussion of e.g.
#10949. If a message is not understood by translators (which are
typically end-users, not developers) they'll either translate it
literally, making it harder to understand instead of easier, with the
added drawback of the user no longer being able to google it.
Also the translation was only working for bitcoin-qt as with
the console programs, there is no translation backend. So it was
injecting never-used translation messages for bitcoin-cli, -tx.
For these reasons, stop translating options help completely. This should
not affect the output **in any way** except for bitcoin-qt when a
non-English language is configured in the locale.
This implements #10962.
25b7ab9 doc: Add release notes for -includeconf (Karl-Johan Alm)
0f0badd test: Test includeconf parameter. (Karl-Johan Alm)
629ff8c -includeconf=<path> support in config handler, for including external configuration files (Karl-Johan Alm)
Pull request description:
Fixes: #10071.
Done:
- adds `-includeconf=<path>`, where `<path>` is relative to `datadir` or to the path of the file being read, if in a file
- protects against circular includes
- updates help docs
~~~Thoughts:~~~
- ~~~I am not sure how to test this in a neat manner. Feedback on this would be nice. Will dig/think though.~~~

a5bca13 Bugfix: Include <memory> for std::unique_ptr (Luke Dashjr)
Pull request description:
Not sure why all these includes were missing, but it's breaking builds for some users:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652142
(Added to all files with a reference to `std::unique_ptr`)

Before this patch:
```
$ bitcoin-cli -testnet echo 'hello world'
error: Could not locate RPC credentials. No authentication cookie could be found, and RPC password is not set. See -rpcpassword and -stdinrpcpass. Configuration file: (/root/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf)
```
After this patch:
```
$ bitcoin-cli -testnet echo 'hello world'
error: Could not connect to the server 127.0.0.1:18332
Make sure the bitcoind server is running and that you are connecting to the correct RPC port.
```
This change should make it easier for users to make complete backups of wallets
because they can now just back up the specified `-wallet=<path>` path directly,
instead of having to back up the specified path as well as the transaction log
directory (for incompletely flushed wallets).
Another advantage of this change is that if two wallets are located in the same
directory, they will now use their own BerkeleyDB environments instead using a
shared environment. Using a shared environment makes it difficult to manage and
back up wallets separately because transaction log files will contain a mix of
data from all wallets in the environment.
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.

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)
