It includes the following policy changes:
* All GetRand* functions seed the stack pointer and rdrand result
(in addition to the performance counter)
* The periodic entropy added by the idle scheduler now seeds stack pointer,
rdrand and perfmon data (once every 10 minutes) in addition to
just a sleep timing.
* The entropy added when calling GetStrongRandBytes no longer includes
the once-per-10-minutes perfmon data on windows (it is moved to the
idle scheduler instead, where latency matters less).
Other changes:
* OpenSSL is no longer seeded directly anywhere. Instead, any generated
randomness through our own RNG is fed back to OpenSSL (after an
additional hashing step to prevent leaking our RNG state).
* Seeding that was previously done directly in RandAddSeedSleep is now
moved to SeedSleep(), which is indirectly invoked through ProcRand
from RandAddSeedSleep.
* Seeding that was previously done directly in GetStrongRandBytes()
is now moved to SeedSlow(), which is indirectly invoked through
ProcRand from GetStrongRandBytes().
This guarantees that OpenSSL is initialized properly whenever randomness
is used, even when that randomness is invoked from global constructors.
Note that this patch uses Mutex directly, rather than CCriticalSection.
This is because the lock-detection code is not necessarily initialized
during global constructors.
There was only one place in the codebase where we're directly reading >32 bytes from
the RNG. One possibility would be to make the built-in RNG support large reads, but
using FastRandomContext lets us reuse code better.
There is no change in behavior here, because the FastRandomContext constructor
uses GetRandBytes internally.
c8d9d9093b Fix broken notificator on GNOME (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
Fix#14994; that bug was introduced in #14228 (that was my fault).
~Also this commit explicit separates~ There are two functions of the tray icon:
- a system tray widget (`QSystemTrayIcon::isSystemTrayAvailable() == true`)
- a high-level notificator via balloon messages (`QSystemTrayIcon::supportsMessages() == true`)
~These properties are mutually independent,~ e.g., on Fedora 29 + GNOME:
```
QSystemTrayIcon::isSystemTrayAvailable() == false;
QSystemTrayIcon::supportsMessages() == true;
```
UPDATE:
`supportsMessages()` makes no sense without `isSystemTrayAvailable()`: `QSystemTrayIcon::showMessage()` just not working on Fedora 29 + GNOME.

66e15e8f97 Explain GetAncestor check for m_failed_blocks in AcceptBlockHeader (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
Salvaged (but slightly modified) from #12138, the comment there was really helpful to wrap my head around that part of the code.
In addition, a naive reader like yours truly will first think `IsValid(BLOCK_VALID_SCRIPTS)` means the previous block was invalid. But IIUC that's not what it means. Instead, it means the block hasn't been checked for validity at the `BLOCK_VALID_SCRIPTS` level yet. So in that case the existing text "previous block index isn't valid" is wrong.

f3f6dde56e Test coinbase category in wallet rpcs (andrewtoth)
e982f0b682 Add all category options to wallet rpc help (andrewtoth)
Pull request description:
The current helptext for `listtransactions`, `listsinceblock` and `gettransaction` only list two of the five possible options for `category`. This incorrectly implies that these are the only two options, and can cause problems if the other three options aren't accounted for. Also, some of the documentation is incorrect when specifying which options are returned for which categories.
This PR updates the helptext for these RPCs and adds a functional regression test for the cases when the other three categories are returned.

fa9a5bc1a0 RPCHelpMan: Support required arguments after optional ones (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
There was a requirement that required arguments could not be positioned after an optional argument, but the deprecation of priority made the second argument to `prioritisetransaction` optional. So support that in `RPCHelpMan`.
Also format all named arguments in the same way (without the wrapping `"` even for strings), since the extended description already mentions the type and it feels odd to special case strings.
