41c607f09b Implement PSBT Structures and un/serialization methods per BIP 174 (Andrew Chow)

Pull request description:

  This Pull Request fully implements the [updated](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/694) BIP 174 specification. It is based upon #13425 which implements the majority of the signing logic.

  BIP 174 specifies a binary transaction format which contains the information necessary for a signer to produce signatures for the transaction and holds the signatures for an input while the input does not have a complete set of signatures.

  This PR contains structs for PSBT, serialization, and deserialzation code. Some changes to `SignatureData` have been made to support detection of UTXO type and storing public keys.

  ***

  Many RPCs have been added to handle PSBTs.

  `walletprocesspsbt` takes a PSBT format transaction, updates the PSBT with any inputs related to this wallet, signs, and finalizes the transaction. There is also an option to not sign and just update.

  `walletcreatefundedpsbt` creates a PSBT from user provided data in the same form as createrawtransaction. It also funds the transaction and takes an options argument in the same form as `fundrawtransaction`. The resulting PSBT is blank with no input or output data filled in. It is analogous to a combination of `createrawtransaction` and `fundrawtransaction`

  `decodepsbt` takes a PSBT and decodes it to JSON. It is analogous to `decoderawtransaction`

  `combinepsbt` takes multiple PSBTs for the same tx and combines them. It is analogous to `combinerawtransaction`

  `finalizepsbt` takes a PSBT and finalizes the inputs. If all inputs are final, it extracts the network serialized transaction and returns that instead of a PSBT unless instructed otherwise.

  `createpsbt` is like `createrawtransaction` but for PSBTs instead of raw transactions.

  `convertpsbt` takes a network serialized transaction and converts it into a psbt. The resulting psbt will lose all signature data and an explicit flag must be set to allow transactions with signature data to be converted.

  ***

  This supersedes #12136

Pull request description:

  This introduces a framework for specialized double-SHA256 with 64 byte inputs. 4 different implementations are provided:
  * Generic C++ (reusing the normal SHA256 code)
  * Specialized C++ for 64-byte inputs, but no special instructions
  * 4-way using SSE4.1 intrinsics
  * 8-way using AVX2 intrinsics

  On my own system (AVX2 capable), I get these benchmarks for computing the Merkle root of 9001 leaves (supported lengths / special instructions / parallellism):
  * 7.2 ms with varsize/naive/1way (master, non-SSE4 hardware)
  * 5.8 ms with size64/naive/1way (this PR, non-SSE4 capable systems)
  * 4.8 ms with varsize/SSE4/1way (master, SSE4 hardware)
  * 2.9 ms with size64/SSE4/4way (this PR, SSE4 hardware)
  * 1.1 ms with size64/AVX2/8way (this PR, AVX2 hardware)

Merge #13023: Fix some concurrency issues in ActivateBestChain()
dd435ad Add unit tests for signals generated by ProcessNewBlock() (Jesse Cohen)
a3ae8e6 Fix concurrency-related bugs in ActivateBestChain (Jesse Cohen)
ecc3c4a Do not unlock cs_main in ABC unless we've actually made progress. (Matt Corallo)

Pull request description:

  Originally this PR was just to add tests around concurrency in block validation - those tests seem to have uncovered another bug in ActivateBestChain - this now fixes that bug and adds tests.

  ActivateBestChain (invoked after a new block is validated) proceeds in steps - acquiring and releasing cs_main while incrementally disconnecting and connecting blocks to sync to the most work chain known (FindMostWorkChain()). Every time cs_main is released the result of FindMostWorkChain() can change - but currently that value is cached across acquisitions of cs_main and only refreshed when an invalid chain is explored. It needs to be refreshed every time cs_main is reacquired. The test added in 6094ce7304 will occasionally fail without the commit fixing this issue 26bfdbaddb

  Original description below
  --

  After a bug discovered where UpdatedBlockTip() notifications could be triggered out of order (#12978), these unit tests check certain invariants about these signals.

  The scheduler test asserts that a SingleThreadedSchedulerClient processes callbacks fully and sequentially.

  The block validation test generates a random chain and calls ProcessNewBlock from multiple threads at random and in parallel. ValidationInterface callbacks verify that the ordering of BlockConnected BlockDisconnected and UpdatedBlockTip events occur as expected.

156db42 tests: run tests in parallel (Cory Fields)
66f3255 tests: split up actual tests and helper files (Cory Fields)

Pull request description:

  This runs the unit tests (`src/test/test_bitcoin`) in 4 separate simultaneous processes, significantly speeding up some Travis runs (over 2x for win32).

  This uses an approach by @theuni that relies on `make` as the mechanism for distributing tests over processes (through `-j`). For every test .cpp file, we search for `BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_SUITE` or `BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE`, and then invoke the test binary for just that suite (using `-t`). The (verbose) output is stored in a temporary file, and only shown in the case of failure.

  Some makefile reshuffling is necessary to avoid trying to run tests from `src/test/test_bitcoin.cpp` for example, which contains framework/utility code but no real tests.

  Finally, order the Travis jobs from slow to fast (apart from the arm/doc job which goes first, for fast failure). This should help reducing the total wall clock time before opening a PR and finishing Travis, in case where not all jobs are started simultaneously.

  This is an alternative to #12831.

Merge #11748: [Tests] Adding unit tests for GetDifficulty in blockchain.cpp.
3e1ee31 [Tests] Adding unit tests for GetDifficulty in blockchain.cpp. (sean)

Pull request description:

  blockchain.cpp has low unit test coverage. This commit is intended
  to start improving its code coverage to reasonable levels. One or more
  follow up commits will complete the task that this commit is starting
  (though the usefulness of this commit is not dependent upon later
  commits).

  Note that these tests were not written based upon a specification of how
  GetDifficulty *should* work, but rather how it actually *does* work. As
  a result, if there are any bugs in the current GetDifficulty
  implementation, these unit tests serve to lock them in rather than
  expose them.

  -- Why has blockchain.cpp been modified if this is a unit testing change?

  Since the existing GetDifficulty function relies on a global variable,
  chainActive, it was not suitable for unit testing purposes. Both the
  existing GetDifficulty function and the unit tests now call through to
  a new, more modular version of GetDifficulty that can work on any chain,
  not just chainActive.

  -- Why does blockchain_tests.cpp directly include blockchain.cpp instead
  of blockchain.h?

  While the new GetDifficulty function's signature is arguably better than
  the old one's, it still isn't great, and doesn't seem to warrant inclusion
  as part of the blockchain.h API, especially since only test code is
  directly using it. If a better way of exposing the new GetDifficulty
  function to unit tests exists, please mention it and the commit will be
  updated accordingly.

  -- Why is the test fixture named blockchain_difficulty_tests rather than
  blockchain_tests?

  The Bitcoin Core policy for naming unit test files is to match the the
  file under test ("blockchain" becomes "blockchain_tests"). While this
  commit complies with that, blockchain.cpp is a massive file, such that
  having all of the unit tests in one file will tend towards disorder.
  Since there will be a lot more tests added to this file, the intention
  is to divide up different types of tests into different test fixtures
  within the same file.

224e6eb089 util: Specific GetOSRandom for Linux/FreeBSD/OpenBSD
These are available in sandboxes without access to files or
devices. Also [they are safer and more straightforward](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy-supplying_system_calls)
to use than `/dev/urandom` as reading from a file has quite a few edge
cases:

- Linux: `getrandom(buf, buflen, 0)`. [getrandom(2)](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/getrandom.2.html)
  was introduced in version 3.17 of the Linux kernel.
- OpenBSD: `getentropy(buf, buflen)`. The [getentropy(2)](http://man.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-current/man2/getentropy.2)
  function appeared in OpenBSD 5.6.
- FreeBSD and NetBSD: `sysctl(KERN_ARND)`. Not sure when this was added
  but it has existed for quite a while.

Alternatives:

- Linux has sysctl `CTL_KERN` / `KERN_RANDOM` / `RANDOM_UUID`
  which gives 16 bytes of randomness. This may be available
  on older kernels, however [sysctl is deprecated on Linux](https://lwn.net/Articles/605392/)
  and even removed in some distros so we shouldn't use it.

Add tests for `GetOSRand()`:

- Test that no error happens (otherwise `RandFailure()` which aborts)
- Test that all 32 bytes are overwritten (initialize with zeros, try multiple times)

Discussion:

- When to use these? Currently they are always used when available.
  Another option would be to use them only when `/dev/urandom` is not
  available. But this would mean these code paths receive less testing,
  and I'm not sure there is any reason to prefer `/dev/urandom`.

Closes: #9676
