No change in behavior in the normal case. But buggy mapWallet lookups with
invalid txids will now throw exceptions instead of inserting dummy entries into
the map, and potentially causing segfaults and other failures.
This also makes it a compiler error to use the mapWallet[hash] syntax which
could create dummy entries.
Construct CWalletTx objects in CWallet::CommitTransaction, instead of having
callers do it. This ensures CWalletTx objects are constructed in a uniform way
and all fields are set.
This also makes it possible to avoid confusing and wasteful CWalletTx copies in

There is no change in behavior.

Pull request description:
A risk exists where a malicious DNS seeder eclipses a node by returning an enormous number of IP addresses. In this commit we mitigate this risk by limiting the number of IP addresses addrman learns to 256 per DNS seeder.

be8ab7d08 Create new wallet databases as directories rather than files (Russell Yanofsky)
26c06f24e Allow wallet files not in -walletdir directory (Russell Yanofsky)
d8a99f65e Allow wallet files in multiple directories (Russell Yanofsky)
Pull request description:
This change consists of three commits:
* The first commit is a pure refactoring that removes the restriction that two wallets can only be opened at the same time if they are contained in the same directory.
* The second commit removes the restriction that `-wallet` filenames can only refer to files in the `-walletdir` directory.
* The third commit makes second commit a little safer by changing bitcoin to create wallet databases as directories rather than files, so they can be safely backed up.
All three commits should be straightforward:
* The first commit adds around 20 lines of new code and then updates a bunch of function signatures (generally updating them to take plain fs::path parameters, instead of combinations of strings, fs::paths, and objects like CDBEnv and CWalletDBWrapper).
* The second commit removes two `-wallet` filename checks and adds some test cases to the multiwallet unit test.
* The third commit just changes the mapping from specified wallet paths to bdb environment & data paths.

Furthermore, all Bitcoin-specific logic (addresses, WIF, BIP32) is moved to `key_io.{h,cpp}`, leaving `base58.{h,cpp}` as a pure utility that implements the base58 encoding/decoding logic.

1dfb4e7d7 [Tests] Check output of parent/child tx list from getrawmempool, getmempooldescendants, getmempoolancestors, and REST interface (Conor Scott)
fc44cb108 [RPC] Add list of child transactions to verbose output of getrawmempool (Conor Scott)
Pull request description:
`bitcoin-cli getrawmempool true` only lists a transaction's parents in the `depends` field. This change adds a `spentby` field to the json response, which lists the transaction's children in the mempool.
Currently the only way to find child transactions is to use `getrawmempool` or make another call to `getmempooldescendants` and search the response for transactions that list the parent_txid in the `depends` list, which is inefficient.
This change allows direct lookup of children.

e68172ed9 Add test-before-evict discipline to addrman (Ethan Heilman)
Pull request description:
This change implement countermeasures 3 (test-before-evict) suggested in our paper: ["Eclipse Attacks on Bitcoin’s Peer-to-Peer Network"](http://cs-people.bu.edu/heilman/eclipse/).
# Design:
A collision occurs when an address, addr1, is being moved to the tried table from the new table, but maps to a position in the tried table which already contains an address (addr2). The current behavior is that addr1 would evict addr2 from the tried table.
This change ensures that during a collision, addr1 is not inserted into tried but instead inserted into a buffer (setTriedCollisions). The to-be-evicted address, addr2, is then tested by [a feeler connection](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8282). If addr2 is found to be online, we remove addr1 from the buffer and addr2 is not evicted, on the other hand if addr2 is found be offline it is replaced by addr1.
An additional small advantage of this change is that, as no more than ten addresses can be in the test buffer at once, and addresses are only cleared one at a time from the test buffer (at 2 minute intervals), thus an attacker is forced to wait at least two minutes to insert a new address into tried after filling up the test buffer. This rate limits an attacker attempting to launch an eclipse attack.
# Risk mitigation:
- To prevent this functionality from being used as a DoS vector, we limit the number of addresses which are to be tested to ten. If we have more than ten addresses to test, we drop new addresses being added to tried if they would evict an address. Since the feeler thread only creates one new connection every 2 minutes the additional network overhead is limited.
- An address in tried gains immunity from tests for 4 hours after it has been tested or successfully connected to.
# Tests:
This change includes additional addrman unittests which test this behavior.
I ran an instance of this change with a much smaller tried table (2 buckets of 64 addresses) so that collisions were much more likely and observed evictions.

# Security Benefit
This is was originally posted in PR #8282 see [this comment for full details](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8282#issuecomment-237255215).
To determine the security benefit of these larger numbers of IPs in the tried table I modeled the attack presented in [Eclipse Attacks on Bitcoin’s Peer-to-Peer Network](https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/263).
**Default node:** 595 attacker IPs for ~50% attack success.
**Default node + test-before-evict:** 620 attacker IPs for ~50% attack success.
**Feeler node:** 5540 attacker IPs for ~50% attack success.
**Feeler node + test-before-evict:** 8600 attacker IPs for ~50% attack success.
The node running feeler connections has 10 times as many online IP addresses in its tried table making an attack 10 times harder (i.e. requiring the an attacker require 10 times as many IP addresses in different /16s). Adding test-before-evict increases resistance of the node by an additional 3000 attacker IP addresses.
Below I graph the attack over even greater attacker resources (i.e. more attacker controled IP addresses). Note that test-before-evict maintains some security far longer even against an attacker with 50,000 IPs. If this node had a larger tried table test-before-evict could greatly boost a nodes resistance to eclipse attacks.

6fbc0986f gui: Show messages as text not html (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
Currently, error messages (such as InitError) are displayed as-is, which means Qt does auto detection on the format.
This means that it's possible to inject HTML from the command line though e.g. specifying a wallet name with HTML in it. This isn't a direct security risk because fetching content from internet is
disabled (and as far as I know we never report strings received from the network this way). However, it can be confusing.
So explicitly force the format as text.
