333317ce6b test: Test that low difficulty chain fork is rejected (MarcoFalke)
fa31dc1bf4 test: Pass down correct chain name in tests (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
To prevent OOM, Bitcoin Core will reject chain forks at low difficulty by default. This is the only use-case of checkpoints, so add a test for it to make sure the feature works as expected. If it didn't work, checkpoints would have no use-case and we might as well remove them

13782b8ba8 docs: add perf section to developer docs (James O'Beirne)
58180b5fd4 tests: add utility to easily profile node performance with perf (James O'Beirne)
Pull request description:
Adds a context manager to easily (and selectively) profile node performance during functional test execution using `perf`.
While writing some tests, I encountered some odd bitcoind slowness. I wrote up a utility (`TestNode.profile_with_perf`) that generates performance diagnostics for a node by running `perf` during the execution of a particular region of test code.
`perf` usage is detailed in the excellent (and sadly unmerged) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12649; all due props to @eklitzke.
### Example
```python
with node.profile_with_perf("large-msgs"):
for i in range(200):
node.p2p.send_message(some_large_msg)
node.p2p.sync_with_ping()
```
This generates a perf data file in the test node's datadir (`/tmp/testtxmpod0y/node0/node-0-TestName-large-msgs.perf.data`).
Running `perf report` generates nice output about where the node spent most of its time while running that part of the test:
```bash
$ perf report -i /tmp/testtxmpod0y/node0/node-0-TestName-large-msgs.perf.data --stdio \
| c++filt \
| less
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

When running tests with --usecli, unify the conversion from argument objects to
strings using a new function arg_to_cli(). This fixes boolean arguments when
using named arguments.
Also use json.dumps() to get the string values for arguments that are dicts and
lists so that bitcoind's JSON parser does not become confused.
Introduces `TestNode.profile_with_perf()` context manager which
samples node execution to produce profiling data.
Also introduces a test framework flag, `--perf`, which will run
perf on all nodes for the duration of a given test.

Pull request description:
Fixes#11777. Reverts #11006. Replaces #13501.
With this change the HTTP server will exit gracefully, meaning that all requests will finish processing and sending the response, even if this means to wait more than 2 seconds (current time allowed to exit the event loop).
Another small change is that connections are accepted even when the server is stopping, but HTTP requests are rejected. This can be improved later, especially if chunked replies are implemented.
Briefly, before this PR, this is the order or events when a request arrives (RPC `stop`):
1. `bufferevent_disable(..., EV_READ)`
2. `StartShutdown()`
3. `evhttp_del_accept_socket(...)`
4. `ThreadHTTP` terminates (event loop exits) because there are no active or pending events thanks to 1. and 3.
5. client doesn't get the response thanks to 4.
This can be verified by applying
```diff
// Event loop will exit after current HTTP requests have been handled, so
// this reply will get back to the client.
StartShutdown();
+ MilliSleep(2000);
return "Bitcoin server stopping";
}
```
and checking the log output:
```

```
For this reason point 3. is moved right after all HTTP workers quit. In that moment HTTP replies are queued in the event loop which keeps spinning util all connections are closed. In order to trigger the server side close with keep alive connections (implicit in HTTP/1.1) the header `Connection: close` is sent if shutdown was requested. This can be tested by
```
bitcoind -regtest
nc localhost 18443
POST / HTTP/1.1
Authorization: Basic ...
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 44
{"jsonrpc": "2.0","method":"stop","id":123}
```
Summing up, this PR:
- removes explicit event loop exit — event loop exits once there are no active or pending events
- changes the moment the listening sockets are removed — explained above
- sends header `Connection: close` on active requests when shutdown was requested which is relevant when it's a persistent connection (default in HTTP 1.1) — libevent is aware of this header and closes the connection gracefully
- removes event loop explicit break after 2 seconds timeout

- Adds `TestNode.assert_memory_usage_stable`: a context manager that allows us to ensure memory usage doesn't significantly increase on a node during some test.
- Adds `P2PConnection.send_raw_message`: which allows us to construct and send messages with tweaked headers.

Adds a utility to get resident set size memory usage for a test
node and a context manager that allows assertions based upon
maximum memory use increase.
This requires a small changes to a few tests, but means that
deterministic addresses will always be imported (unless setup_nodes
behaviour is explicitly overridden).
Adds a generate() method to the TestNode class in the test framework.
This method intercepts calls to generate, imports a dewterministic
private key to the node and then calls generatetoaddress to generate the
block to that address.
Note that repeated calls to importprivkey for the same private keys are
no-ops, so it's fine to call the generate() method many times.

Pull request description:
This is the replacement for #11678 which implements @ryanofsky's [suggestion](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11678#pullrequestreview-76464511).
Shutting down the software was to prevent the BDB environment from writing unencrypted private keys to disk in the database log files, as was noted [here](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=51474.msg616068#msg616068). This PR replaces the shutdown behavior with a CDBEnv flush, close, and reopen which achieves the same effect: everything is cleanly flushed and closed, the log files are removed, and then the environment reopened to continue normal operation.
To ensure that no unencrypted private keys are in the log files after encrypting the wallet, I wrote [this script](https://gist.github.com/achow101/7f7143e6c3d3fdc034d3470e72823e9d) to pull private keys from the original wallet file and searches for these keys in the log files (note that you will have to change your file paths to make it work on your own machine).
As for concerns about private keys being written to slack space or being kept in memory, these behaviors no longer exist after the original wallet encryption PR and the shutting down solution from 2011.

### qa: Close stdout and stderr file when node stops
Since these files are potentially deleted by the test framework for cleanup, they should be closed first. Otherwise this will lead to errors on Windows when the tests finish successfully.
Side note: After the patch, it is no longer possible to reopen the file on Windows (see https://docs.python.org/3/library/tempfile.html#tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile)
### qa: Run gen_rpcauth with sys.executable
Similar to `test_runner.py`, the `sys.executable` needs to be passed down into subprocesses to pass on native Windows. (Should have no effect on Linux)
### qa: Use files for stdout/stderr to support Windows
It seems that using PIPE is not supported on Windows. Also, it is easier to just use the files that capture the stdout and stderr within the test node class.

By default, libc will print fatal errors to /dev/tty instead of stderr.
Adding the LIBC_FATAL_STDERR_ to the environment variables allows
us to catch libc errors in stderr and test for them.
