62d50ef308 Add LOCKS_EXCLUDED(cs_main) to LimitValidationInterfaceQueue(...) which does AssertLockNotHeld(cs_main) (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
This PR adds compile-time checking for negative locking requirements that follow from the run-time locking requirement `AssertLockNotHeld(cs_main)` in `LimitValidationInterfaceQueue(...)`.
Changes:
* Add `LOCKS_EXCLUDED(cs_main)` to `LimitValidationInterfaceQueue(...)` which does `AssertLockNotHeld(cs_main)`
* Add `LOCKS_EXCLUDED(cs_main)` to `CChainState::ActivateBestChain(…)`, `CChainState:: InvalidateBlock(…)` and `CChainState::RewindBlockIndex(…)` which all call `LimitValidationInterfaceQueue(...)` which does `AssertLockNotHeld(cs_main)`
* Add `LOCKS_EXCLUDED(cs_main)` to `InvalidateBlock(…)` which calls `CChainState::InvalidateBlock(...)` which in turn calls `LimitValidationInterfaceQueue(...)` which does `AssertLockNotHeld(cs_main)`
* Add `LOCKS_EXCLUDED(cs_main)` to `RewindBlockIndex(…)` which calls `CChainState::RewindBlockIndex(...)` which in turn calls `LimitValidationInterfaceQueue(...)` which does `AssertLockNotHeld(cs_main)`

This is part of the assumeutxo project:
Parent PR: #15606
Issue: #15605
Specification: https://github.com/jamesob/assumeutxo-docs/tree/2019-04-proposal/proposal
---
This change refactors the `chainActive` reference into a `::ChainActive()` call. It also distinguishes `CChainState`'s `CChain` data member as `m_chain` instead of the current `chainActive`, which makes it easily confused with the global data.
The active chain must be obtained via function because its reference will be swapped at some point during runtime after loading a UTXO snapshot.
This change, though lengthy, should be pretty easy to review since most of it is contained within a scripted-diff. Once merged, the parent PR should be easier to review.

Pull request description:
This is a rebase of #11639 with some fixes for the last few comments which were not yet addressed.
The original PR text, with some strikethroughs of text that is no longer correct:
> This cleans up an old main-carryover - it made sense that main could decide what DoS scores to assign things because the DoS scores were handled in a different part of main, but now validation is telling net_processing what DoS scores to assign to different things, which is utter nonsense. Instead, we replace CValidationState's nDoS and CorruptionPossible with a general ValidationInvalidReason, which net_processing can handle as it sees fit. I keep the behavior changes here to a minimum, but in the future we can utilize these changes for other smarter behavior, such as disconnecting/preferring to rotate outbound peers based on them providing things which are invalid due to SOFT_FORK because we shouldn't ban for such cases.
>

Note: The change to ban all peers for consensus violations is actually NOT the change I'd like to make -- I'd prefer to only ban outbound peers in those situations. The current behavior is a bit of a mess, however, and so in the interests of advancing this PR I tried to keep the changes to a minimum. I plan to revisit the behavior in a followup PR.
EDIT: One reviewer suggested I add some additional context for this PR:
> The goal of this work was to make net_processing aware of the actual reasons for validation failures, rather than just deal with opaque numbers instructing it to do something.
>
> In the future, I'd like to make it so that we use more context to decide how to punish a peer. One example is to differentiate inbound and outbound peer misbehaviors. Another potential example is if we'd treat RECENT_CONSENSUS_CHANGE failures differently (ie after the next consensus change is implemented), and perhaps again we'd want to treat some peers differently than others.

Though at the moment ChainActive() simply references `g_chainstate.m_chain`,
doing this change now clears the way for multiple chainstate usage and allows
us to script the diff.
-BEGIN VERIFY SCRIPT-
git grep -l "chainActive" | grep -E '(h|cpp)$' | xargs sed -i '/chainActive =/b; /extern CChain& chainActive/b; s/\(::\)\{0,1\}chainActive/::ChainActive()/g'
-END VERIFY SCRIPT-
This can't be a scripted-diff due to the confusion of the global
chainActive and the CChainState member of the same name.
This specific rename makes the following chainActive -> ::ChainActive() diff
scriptable.
This is a first step towards cleaning up our DoS interface - make
validation return *why* something is invalid, and let net_processing
figure out what that implies in terms of banning/disconnection/etc.
Behavior change: peers will now be banned for providing blocks
with premature coinbase spends.

Compared with previous bans, the following changes are made:
* Txn with empty vin/vout or null prevouts move from 10 DoS
points to 100.
* Loose transactions with a dependency loop now result in a ban
instead of 10 DoS points.
* Many pre-segwit soft-fork errors now result in a ban.
Note: Transactions that violate soft-fork script flags since P2SH do not generally
result in a ban. Also, banning behavior for invalid blocks is dependent on
whether the node is validating with multiple script check threads, due to a long-
standing bug. That inconsistency is still present after this commit.
* Proof of work failure moves from 50 DoS points to a ban.
* Blocks with timestamps under MTP now result in a ban, blocks
too far in the future continue to *not* result in a ban.
* Inclusion of non-final transactions in a block now results in a
ban instead of 10 DoS points.

This comment was confusing and incorrect when first added ("invalid rather than
merely non-standard" has the opposite meaning of what is actually the case),
and was also not updated after segwit with the correct variable names.
Delete it since the code reads just fine on its own.

This work is prerequisite to attaching thread names to log lines and deadlock
debug utilities. This code allows setting of an "internal" threadname per
thread on platforms where thread_local is available.
This commit also moves RenameThread() out of a more general module and adds a
numeric suffix to disambiguate between threads with the same name. It
explicitly names a few main threads using the new util::ThreadRename().

Pull request description:
This pull request attempts to resolve the `checkpoints -> validation -> checkpoints` circular dependency.
The circular dependency is resolved by moving the `CheckPoints::GetLastCheckpoint(const CCheckpointData& data)` function to `validation.cpp` where it used exclusively by the private function `ContextualCheckBlockHeader(const CBlockHeader& block, CValidationState& state, const CChainParams& params, const CBlockIndex* pindexPrev, int64_t nAdjustedTime)`.

Pull request description:
This is a move-only commit. No code is changing and the moves can be easily verified with:
```sh
git log -p -n1 --color-moved=dimmed_zebra
```
This commit moves functions and variables that wallet code depends on out of libbitcoin_server.a, so the bitcoin-wallet tool can be built without libbitcoin_server.a in #15639, and attempting to access server state from wallet code will result in link errors instead of silently broken code.
List of moves:
- `CheckTransaction` moves from `consensus/tx_verify.cpp` to `consensus/tx_check.cpp`
- `urlDecode` moves from `httpserver.cpp` to `util/url.cpp`
- `TransactionErrorString` moves from `node/transaction.cpp` to `util/error.cpp`
- `StringForFeeReason` and `FeeModeFromString` move from `policy/fees.cpp` to `util/fees.cpp`
- `incrementalRelayFee` `dustRelayFee` and `nBytesPerSigOp` move from `policy/policy.cpp` to `policy/settings.cpp`
- `SignalsOptInRBF` moves from `policy/rbf.cpp` to `util/rbf.cpp`
- `fIsBareMultisigStd` moves from `validation.cpp` to `policy/settings.cpp`
- `ConstructTransaction` `TxInErrorToJSON` and `SignTransaction` move from `rpc/rawtransaction.cpp` to `rpc/rawtransaction_util.cpp`
- `RPCTypeCheck` `RPCTypeCheckArgument` `RPCTypeCheckObj` `AmountFromValue` `ParseHashV``ParseHashO` `ParseHexV` `ParseHexO` `HelpExampleCli` and `HelpExampleRpc` move from `rpc/server.cpp` to `rpc/util.cpp`
- `AmountHighWarn` and `AmountErrMsg` move from `ui_interface.cpp` to `util/error.cpp`
- `FormatStateMessage` and `strMessageMagic` move from `validation.cpp` to `util/validation.cpp`
- `VerifyWallets` `LoadWallets` `StartWallets` `FlushWallets` `StopWallets` and `UnloadWallets` move from `wallet/init.cpp` to `wallet/node.cpp`

Adds the following util units and adds them to libbitcoin_util:
- `util/url.cpp` takes `urlDecode` from `httpserver.cpp`
- `util/error.cpp` takes `TransactionErrorString` from
`node/transaction.cpp` and `AmountHighWarn` and `AmountErrMsg` from
`ui_interface.cpp`
- `util/fees.cpp` takes `StringForFeeReason` and `FeeModeFromString` from `policy/fees.cpp`
- `util/rbf.cpp` takes `SignalsOptInRBF` from `policy/rbf.cpp`
- 'util/validation.cpp` takes `FormatStateMessage` and `strMessageMagic` from 'validation.cpp`
This moves the following policy settings functions and globals to a new
src/policy/settings unit in lib_server:
- `incrementalRelayFee`
- `dustRelayFee`
- `nBytesPerSigOp`
- `fIsBareMultisigStd`
These settings are only required by the node and should not be accessed
by other libraries.
CheckTransaction is a context-free function that does not require access
to the blockchain or mempool. Move it from src/consensus/tx_verify in
lib_server to a new unit src/consensus/tx_check in lib_consensus so that
it can be called by non-server libraries.
This commit resolves the checkpoints -> validation -> checkpoints
cirular dependency by moving
`CheckPoints::GetLastCheckpoint(const CCheckpointData& data)` from
`checkpoints.cpp` to `validation.cpp`.

Pull request description:
This PR makes a number of improvements to the InvalidateBlock (`invalidateblock` RPC) and RewindBlockIndex functions, primarily around breaking up their long-term cs_main holding. In addition:
* They're made safely interruptible (`bitcoind` can be shutdown, and no progress in either will be lost, though if incomplete, `invalidateblock` won't continue after restart and will need to be called again)
* The validation queue is prevented from overflowing (meaning `invalidateblock` on a very old block will not drive bitcoind OOM) (see #14289).
* `invalidateblock` won't bother to move transactions back into the mempool after 10 blocks (optimization).
This is not an optimal solution, as we're relying on the scheduler call sites to make sure the scheduler doesn't overflow. Ideally, the scheduler would guarantee this directly, but that needs a few further changes (moving the signal emissions out of cs_main) to prevent deadlocks.
I have manually tested the `invalidateblock` changes (including interrupting, and running with -checkblockindex and -checkmempool), but haven't tried the rewinding (which is probably becoming increasingly unnecessary, as very few pre-0.13.1 nodes remain that would care to upgrade).

Pull request description:
This cleans up and refactors block file helpers so that they may be used by the block filter indexer. Per [design discussion](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/14121#issuecomment-451252591) about storing BIP 157 block filters, it has been suggested that they are stored in the same way as block and undo data. This refactor is sufficient to simplify file operations for this use case, though in the future perhaps more pruning-related logic ought to be moved into the new classes.
The basic abstraction is a `FlatFileSeq` which manages access to a sequence of numbered files into which raw data is written.

Due to miners inserting garbage into the version numbers, the current
version signalling has become completely useless. This removes the
"unknown block versions" warning which has the tendency to scare
users unnecessarily (and might get them to "update" to something
bad).
It preserves the warning in the logs. Whether this is desirable can
be a point of discussion.
