Most bitcoin.conf options apply to all three networks,
however some apply only to mainnet unless specified in a section.
As stands, conf file has no indication that sections are now in use
or are in some circumstances mandatory (eg, changing rpcport for testnet.)
Proposed change notifies the reader early which options are affected,
specifically adds those options affected but not already in the example,
adds brief explanation as to what's going on and provides a skeleton template for the sections themselves.
f13ad1cae0 modify test for memory locked in case locking pages failed at some point (Adam Jonas)
2fa85ebd1c add rpc_misc.py, mv test getmemoryinfo, add test mallocinfo (Adam Jonas)
Pull request description:
Creating the `rpc_misc.py` functional test file to add space for adding tests to a file that doesn't have a lot of coverage.
- Removing the `getmemoryinfo()` smoke test from wallet basic rather than moving it to keep the wallet decoupled. Feel like testing for reasonable memory allocation values should suffice.
- Adding coverage for `mallocinfo()`. Introduced standard lib XML parser since the function exports an XML string that describes the current state of the memory-allocation implementation in the caller.

6b9f45e81b Support ranges arguments in RPC help (Pieter Wuille)
7aa6a8aefb Add ParseRange function to parse args of the form int/[int,int] (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
This introduces a consistent notation for RPC arguments in `scantxoutset`, `importmulti`, and `deriveaddresses`, either:
* `"range" : int` to just specify the end of the range
* `"range" : [int,int]` to specify both the begin and the end of the range.
For `scantxoutset`, this is a backward compatible new feature. For the two other RPCs, it's an incompatible change, but neither of them has been in a release so far. Because of that non-released reason, this only makes sense in 0.18, in my opinion.
I suggest this as an alternative to #15496, which only makes `deriveaddresses` compatible with `importmulti`, but not with the existing `scantxoutset` RPC. I also think `[int,int]` is more convenient than `{"start":int,"stop":int}`.
I realize this is technically a feature added to `scantxoutset` after the feature freeze. If desired, I'll drop the `scantxoutset` changes.

This adds explicit tests for the returned HTTP status codes to
interface_rpc.py (for error cases) and the HTTP JSON-RPC client in
general for success.
PR 15381 brought up discussion about the HTTP status codes in general,
and the general opinion was that the current choice may not be ideal
but should not be changed to preserve compatibility with existing
JSON-RPC clients. Thus it makes sense to actually test the current
status to ensure this desired compatibility is not broken accidentally.

After 40 minutes, time out a test-before-evict entry and just evict without
testing. Otherwise, if we were unable to test an entry for some reason, we
might break using feelers altogether.
Fixes a bug where feelers could be stuck trying to resolve a collision in the
tried table that is to an address in the same netgroup as an existing outbound peer.
Thanks to Muoi Tran for the original bug report and detailed debug logs to track
this down.

Pull request description:
Due to miners inserting garbage into the version numbers causing false positives, 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.

When starting a test, we are always in IBD because the timestamps on cached blocks are in the past. Usually, we solve that by generating a block at the beginning of the test.
That is clumsy and might even lead to other problems such as #15360 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/14446#issuecomment-461926598
So fix that by getting rid of mocktime and always refreshing the last block of the cache when starting the test framework.

3f5ad622e5 Enable PID file creation on Windows - Add available WIN PID function - Consider WIN32 in each relevant case - Add new preprocessor definitions to suppress warning - Update error message for generic OS (riordant)
Pull request description:
# Introduction
As discussed with @laanwj on IRC:
- PID file creation was never enabled for Windows, as the `pid_t` filetype is not available for it. However, the WIN32 API contains the header [`Processthreadsapi.h`](https://github.com/CodeShark/x86_64-w64-mingw32/blob/master/include/processthreadsapi.h) which in turn contains the function [`GetCurrentProcessId()`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/desktop/api/processthreadsapi/nf-processthreadsapi-getcurrentprocessid). ~~This function is called at a higher level by [`_getpid()`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/getpid?view=vs-2017)~~ EDIT: `_getpid()` is not available to the MSVC compiler used in the AppVeyor build. As a result, I have changed the function call to`GetCurrentProcessId()`, which performs the same function and is available to both MinGW & MSVC.
This allows one to capture the PID in Windows, without any additional includes - the above function is already available.
- Within this PR, I have added a separate line that calls `GetCurrentProcessId()` in the case of a WIN compilation, and the usual `getpid()` otherwise. All code blocks processing PID file logic that avoid WIN32 have been changed to consider it. I have also updated the preprocessor definitions in `libbitcoin_server.vcxproj.in` to suppress a warning related to `std::strerror` for the MSVC build, that was causing the AppVeyor build to fail (see @fanquake comment below).
# Rationale
- Consistency between OS's running Bitcoin
- Applications which build off of `bitcoind`, such as novel front-end clients, often need access to the PID in order to control the daemon. Instead of designing some alternate way of doing this for one system, it should be consistent between all of them.
