838920704a lint: Disable flake8 W504 warning (Ben Woosley)
b21680baf5 test/contrib: Fix invalid escapes in regex strings (Ben Woosley)

Pull request description:

  This is a second go at #15221, fixing new lints in:
  W504 line break after binary operator
  W605 invalid escape sequence
  F841 local variable 'e' is assigned to but never used

  This time around:
  * One commit per rule, for easier review
  * I went with the PEP-8 style of breaking before binary operators
  * I looked into the raw regex newline issue, and found that raw strings with newlines embedded do work appropriately. E.g. run `re.match(r" \n ", " \n ")` to check this for yourself. `re.MULTILINE` exists to modify `^` and `$` in multiline scenarios, but  all of these searches are per-line.

Pull request description:

  Before this change it works from root folder of bitcoin git repo, but if you do `cd test/lint; ./test-includes.sh`, you will have a lot of false positive messages like this:
  ```

5ce822efbe Conservatively accept RBF bumps bumping one tx at the package limits
Accept RBF bumps of single transactions (ie which conflict with one
transaction) even when that transaction is a member of a package
which is currently at the package limit iff the new transaction
does not add any additional mempool dependencies from the original.

This could be made a bit looser in the future and still be safe,
but for now this fixes the case that a transaction which was
accepted by the carve-out rule will not be directly RBF'able.

0ba08020c9 Disconnect peers violating blocks-only mode
If we set fRelay=false in our VERSION message, and a peer sends an INV or TX
message anyway, disconnect. Since we use fRelay=false to minimize bandwidth,
we should not tolerate remaining connected to a peer violating the protocol.

3a5e885306 Add 2 outbound block-relay-only connections
Transaction relay is primarily optimized for balancing redundancy/robustness
with bandwidth minimization -- as a result transaction relay leaks information
that adversaries can use to infer the network topology.

Network topology is better kept private for (at least) two reasons:

(a) Knowledge of the network graph can make it easier to find the source IP of
a given transaction.

(b) Knowledge of the network graph could be used to split a target node or
nodes from the honest network (eg by knowing which peers to attack in order to
achieve a network split).

We can eliminate the risks of (b) by separating block relay from transaction
relay; inferring network connectivity from the relay of blocks/block headers is
much more expensive for an adversary.

After this commit, bitcoind will make 2 additional outbound connections that
are only used for block relay. (In the future, we might consider rotating our
transaction-relay peers to help limit the effects of (a).)

Pull request description:

Pull request description:

  This PR adds a new parameter to the `gettransaction` call : `decode`. If set to `true`, it will add a new `decoded` field to the response. This mimics the behavior of `getrawtransaction`'s `verbose` argument to avoid using 2 calls if we want to decode a wallet transaction (`gettransaction` then `decoderawtransaction`).

  Fix #16181 .

Pull request description:

  Changes in Xcode 11 Objective-C Runtime cause an error (#16387) during building on MacOS 10.15 Catalina.

Merge #16753: wallet: extract PubKey from P2PK script with Solver
798a589aff wallet: extract PubKey from P2PK script with Solver (Sebastian Falbesoner)

Pull request description:

  The function `ExtractPubKey()` checks if a given script matches the P2PK pattern
  (`<PubKey> OP_CHECKSIG`), extracts the PubKey and additionally checks if it is
  cryptographically valid (full validation with ECC library via `CPubKey::IsFullyValid()`).

  Currently this is done manually in the following order:
  1. check if first script OP is data push with valid PubKey length (first part of pattern match), extract PubKey
  2. create `CPubKey` object with extracted PubKey
  3. fully validate public key
  4. check if last script OP is `OP_CHECKSIG` (second part of pattern match)

  Using Solver, the pattern matching and PubKey extraction can be done via a
  single step, leading to the following simplified order with shorter code:
  1. check if given script matches P2PK pattern with Solver (also contains valid PubKey length check), extracts Pubkey
  2. create `CPubKey` object with extracted Pubkey
  3. fully validate public key

Merge #14862: doc: Declare BLOCK_VALID_HEADER reserved
fa0b910486 [doc] chain: Declare BLOCK_VALID_HEADER reserved (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  `BLOCK_VALID_HEADER` was never used and the comment is confusing to me in several ways:

  * It claims "version ok". However, without the previous header, it is not possible to check the validity of the version since the height needs to be known (c.f. BIP 90)
  * It claims "hash satisfies claimed PoW". While it is possible to check against the claimed PoW, it is not possible without the previous header to check that the claimed PoW is itself valid.
  * It claims "1 <= vtx count <= max". However, with the header alone and current consensus rules, the number of transactions is unknown.

Merge #16707: qt: Remove obsolete QModelIndex::child()
c53667764e qt: Remove obsolete QModelIndex::child() (Hennadii Stepanov)

Pull request description:

  The `QModelIndex::child()` member function is [obsolete](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5.12/qmodelindex-obsolete.html) since Qt 5.12.

  This PR removes it, does not change behavior and keeps compatibility with [Qt 5.5.1](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15393).

  Here is an excerpt from the master build log:
  ```
  qt/receivecoinsdialog.cpp: In member function ‘void ReceiveCoinsDialog::copyColumnToClipboard(int)’:

40ede992d9 Modify wallet tx status if has been reorged out
Add a LockChain method to CWallet to know if we can lock or query
chain state safely.

At tx loading, we rely on chain to know if hashBlock of tx is still
in main chain. If not, we set its status to unconfirmed and reset
its hashBlock/nIndex.

If wallet loaded is the wallet-tool one, all wallet txn will
show up with a height of zero. It doesn't matter as status is not
used by wallet-tool.

We take lock prematurely in CWallet::LoadWallet and CWallet::Verify
to ensure that lock order is respected between cs_main an cs_wallet.

Merge #16695: rpc: Add window final block height to getchaintxstats
d48c1e837a Add window final block height to getchaintxstats (Jonathan "Duke" Leto)

Pull request description:

  This patch is motivated by the desire to make the output of `getchaintxstats` more useful and optimized for applications to consume and render the data.

  Firstly, this data is already available to the RPC, no additional work is done. Currently additional RPC calls will be needed to look up the height of the final block in the window or the block height that began the window.

  By adding the block height of the final block in the window, the JSON is "self-contained" and applications can calculate the exact block height range of the window with no additional RPC requests.
  For example, a web application which wants to render historical information for `getchaintxstats` RPC on various window sizes might call the RPC with various window lengths, once per day, and store the JSON results somewhere. Because the final block height of each dataset is included, it's no extra work to determine the exact block window range of each JSON response.
