nMaxInbound might very well be 0 or -1, if the user prefers to keep
a small number of maxconnections.
Note: nMaxInbound of -1 means that the user set maxconnections
to 8 or less, but we still want to keep an additional slot for
the feeler connection.
Note that this is not a major issue as, in order for the missing
lock to cause issues, you have to receive a GETBLOCKTXN message
while reindexing, adding a block header via RPC, etc, which results
in either a table rehash or an insert into the bucket which you are
currently looking at.

Makes it an error to use flags that have not been defined
on the libconsensus API.
There has been some confusion as to what pass to libconsensus, and
(combined with mention in the release notes) this should clear it up.
Using undocumented flags is a risk because their meaning,
and what combinations are allowed, changes from release to release.
E.g. it is no longer possible to pass (CLEANSTACK | P2SH) without
running into an assertion after the segwit changes.
There were discrepancies between usage of "block chain" and "blockchain", I've changed them to the latter. The reason for this was that Wikipedia when describing this data structure writes "A blockchain — *originally block chain*", so it seemed the more appropriate term.

Replace these with vectors allocated from the secure allocator.
This avoids mlock syscall churn on stack pages, as well as makes
it possible to get rid of these functions.
Please review this commit and the previous one carefully that
no `sizeof(vectortype)` remains in the memcpys and memcmps usage
(ick!), and `.data()` or `&vec[x]` is used as appropriate instead of
&vec.
Change CCrypter to use vectors with secure allocator instead of buffers
on in the object itself which will end up on the stack. This avoids
having to call LockedPageManager to lock stack memory pages to prevent the
memory from being swapped to disk. This is wasteful.
4630479 Make dnsseed's definition of acute need include relevant services. (Gregory Maxwell)
9583477 Be more aggressive in connecting to peers with relevant services. (Gregory Maxwell)
We normally prefer to connect to peers offering the relevant services.
If we're not connected to enough peers with relevant services, we
probably don't know about them and could use dnsseed's help.

The new benchmarks exercise script validation, CCoinsDBView caching,
mempool eviction, and wallet coin selection code.
All of the benchmarks added here are extremely simple and don't
necessarily mirror common real world conditions or interesting
performance edge cases. Details about how specific benchmarks can be
improved are noted in comments.

Only allow skipping relevant services until there are four outbound
connections up.
This avoids quickly filling up with peers lacking the relevant
services when addrman has few or none of them.

There are only a few uses of `insecure_random` outside the tests.
This PR replaces uses of insecure_random (and its accompanying global
state) in the core code with an FastRandomContext that is automatically
seeded on creation.
This is meant to be used for inner loops. The FastRandomContext
can be in the outer scope, or the class itself, then rand32() is used
inside the loop. Useful e.g. for pushing addresses in CNode or the fee
rounding, or randomization for coin selection.
As a context is created per purpose, thus it gets rid of
cross-thread unprotected shared usage of a single set of globals, this
should also get rid of the potential race conditions.
- I'd say TxMempool::check is not called enough to warrant using a special
fast random context, this is switched to GetRand() (open for
discussion...)
- The use of `insecure_rand` in ConnectThroughProxy has been replaced by
an atomic integer counter. The only goal here is to have a different
credentials pair for each connection to go on a different Tor circuit,
it does not need to be random nor unpredictable.
- To avoid having a FastRandomContext on every CNode, the context is
passed into PushAddress as appropriate.
There remains an insecure_random for test usage in `test_random.h`.

This concretizes the numbers and adds a comment to make it clear that
these numbers are fixed by the protocol, and may avoid people forgetting
to claim numbers in the future (e.g. issue #8500).
Also gets rid of a weird unused `MSG_TYPE_MAX` in the middle of the
enumeration (thanks @paveljanik for noticing).
This adds a new CValidationInterface subclass, defined in main.h,
to receive notifications of UpdatedBlockTip and use that to push
blocks to peers, instead of doing it directly from
ActivateBestChain.
In anticipation of making all the callbacks out of block processing
flow through it. Note that vHashes will always have something in it
since pindexFork != pindexNewTip.
This fixes a bug where we might (in exceedingly rare circumstances)
accidentally ban a node for sending us the first (potentially few)
segwit blocks in non-segwit mode.

Follow-up to developer notes update in 654a211622.
75ead758 turned these into crashes in the event of a handshake failure, most
notably when a peer does not offer the expected services.
There are likely other cases that these assertions will find as well.
Base64 contains '/', and the '/' character in credentials is problematic
for AuthServiceProxy which represents the RPC endpoint as an URI with
user and password embedded.
Closes#8399.

In principle, the checksums of P2P packets are simply 4-byte blobs which
are the first four bytes of SHA256(SHA256(payload)).
Currently they are handled as little-endian 32-bit integers half of the
time, as blobs the other half, sometimes copying the one to the other,
resulting in somewhat confused code.
This PR changes the handling to be consistent both at packet creation
and receiving, making it (I think) easier to understand.
