Pull request description:
The RPC command `scanblocks` provides a useful way to get a set of blockhashes that have activity relevant to a set of descriptors (`relevant_blocks`). However actually extracting the activity from those blocks is left as an exercise to the end user.
This process involves not only generating the (potentially ranged) set of scripts for the descriptor set on the client side (maybe via `deriveaddresses`), but then the user must retrieve each block's contents one-by-one using `getblock <hash>`, which is transmitted over a network link. And that's all before they perform the actual search over block content. There's even more work required to incorporate unconfirmed transactions.
This PR introduces an RPC `getdescriptoractivity` that [dovetails](https://bitcoin-irc.chaincode.com/bitcoin-core-dev/2024-08-16#1046393;) with `scanblocks` output, handling the process described above. Users specify the blockhashes (perhaps from `relevant_blocks`) and a set of descriptors; they are then given all spend/receive activity in that set of blocks.
This is a very useful tool when implementing lightweight wallets that want neither to require a third-party indexer like electrs, nor the overhead of creating and managing watch-only wallets in Core. This allows Core to be more easily used in a "stateless" manner by wallets, with potentially many nodes interchangeably acting as backends.

Pull request description:
part of cluster mempool: #30289
It became clear while working on cluster mempool that it would be helpful for transaction validation if we could consider a full set of proposed changes to the mempool -- consisting of a set of transactions to add, and a set of transactions (ie conflicts) to simultaneously remove -- and perform calculations on what the mempool would look like if the proposed changes were to be applied. Two specific examples of where we'd like to do this:
- Determining if ancestor/descendant/TRUC limits would be violated (in the future, cluster limits) if either a single transaction or a package of transactions were to be accepted
- Determining if an RBF would make the mempool "better", however that idea is defined, both in the single transaction and package of transaction cases
In preparation for cluster mempool, I have pulled this reworking of the mempool interface out of #28676 so it can be reviewed on its own. I have not re-implemented ancestor/descendant limits to be run through the changeset, since with cluster mempool those limits will be going away, so this seems like wasted effort. However, I have rebased #28676 on top of this branch so reviewers can see what the new mempool interface could look like in the cluster mempool setting.
There are some minor behavior changes here, which I believe are inconsequential:
- In the package validation setting, transactions would be added to the mempool before the `ConsensusScriptChecks()` are run. In theory, `ConsensusScriptChecks()` should always pass if the `PolicyScriptChecks()` have passed and it's just a belt-and-suspenders for us, but if somehow they were to diverge then there could be some small behavior change from adding transactions and then removing them, versus never adding them at all.
- The error reporting on `CheckConflictTopology()` has slightly changed due to no longer distinguishing between direct conflicts and indirect conflicts. I believe this should be entirely inconsequential because there shouldn't be a logical difference between those two ideas from the perspective of this function, but I did have to update some error strings in some tests.
- Because, in a package setting, RBFs now happen as part of the entire package being accepted, the logging has changed slightly because we do not know which transaction specifically evicted a given removed transaction.
- Specifically, the "package hash" is now used to reference the set of transactions that are being accepted, rather than any single txid. The log message relating to package RBF that happen in the `TXPACKAGES` category has been updated as well to include the package hash, so that it's possible to see which specific set of transactions are being referenced by that package hash.
- Relatedly, the tracepoint logging in the package rbf case has been updated as well to reference the package hash, rather than a transaction hash.

The mempool:replaced tracepoint now reports either a txid or a
package hash (previously it always was a txid). To let users know
if a txid or package hash is passed, a boolean argument is added
the the tracepoint.

is introduced as Python warns the following when not explcitly

Issue:
The text mentions that the `createwallet` command should use the options `disable_private_keys=true, blank=true`, but the provided command only includes `disable_private_keys=true`, missing the `blank=true` option.
Correction:
Added `blank=true` to the command to match the options described in the text.

The `blank=true` option is necessary to create a blank wallet. Including this option ensures the command matches the options specified in the text.

411c6cfc6c tracing: only prepare tracepoint args if attached (0xb10c)
d524c1ec06 tracing: dedup TRACE macros & rename to TRACEPOINT (0xb10c)
Pull request description:
Currently, if the tracepoints are compiled (e.g. in depends and release builds), we always prepare the tracepoint arguments regardless of the tracepoints being used or not. We made sure that the argument preparation is as cheap as possible, but we can almost completely eliminate any overhead for users not interested in the tracepoints (the vast majority), by gating the tracepoint argument preparation with an `if(something is attached to this tracepoint)`. To achieve this, we use the optional semaphore feature provided by SystemTap.
The first commit simplifies and deduplicates our tracepoint macros from 13 TRACEx macros to a single TRACEPOINT macro. This makes them easier to use and also avoids more duplicate macro definitions in the second commit.
The Linux tracing tools I'm aware of (bcc, bpftrace, libbpf, and systemtap) all support the semaphore gating feature. Thus, all existing tracepoints and their argument preparation is gated in the second commit. For details, please refer to the commit messages and the updated documentation in `doc/tracing.md`.
Also adding unit tests that include all tracepoint macros to make sure there are no compiler problems with them (e.g. some varadiac extension not supported).
Reviewers might want to check:
- Do the tracepoints still work for you? Do the examples in `contrib/tracing/` run on your system (as bpftrace frequently breaks on every new version, please test master too if it should't work for you)? Do the CI interface tests still pass?
- Is the new documentation clear?
- The `TRACEPOINT_SEMAPHORE(event, context)` macros places global variables in our global namespace. Is this something we strictly want to avoid or maybe move to all `TRACEPOINT_SEMAPHORE`s to a separate .cpp file or even namespace? I like having the `TRACEPOINT_SEMAPHORE()` in same file as the `TRACEPOINT()`, but open for suggestion on alternative approaches.
- Are newly added tracepoints in the unit tests visible when using `readelf -n build/src/test/test_bitcoin`? You can run the new unit tests with `./build/src/test/test_bitcoin --run_test=util_trace_tests* --log_level=all`.
<details><summary>Two of the added unit tests demonstrate that we are only processing the tracepoint arguments when attached by having a test-failure condition in the tracepoint argument preparation. The following bpftrace script can be used to demonstrate that the tests do indeed fail when attached to the tracepoints.</summary>
`fail_tests.bt`:
```c
#!/usr/bin/env bpftrace

}

}
```
Run the unit tests with `./build/src/test/test_bitcoin` and start `bpftrace fail_tests.bt -p $(pidof test_bitcoin)` in a separate terminal. The unit tests should fail with:

While we will only outwardly support Windows 10+, due to an issue in
mingw-w64, we can't set the *-subsystem-version values higher than to
target Windows 8, so do that as a best effort.
Issue:
The text mentions that the `createwallet` command should use the options `disable_private_keys=true, blank=true`, but the provided command only includes `disable_private_keys=true`, missing the `blank=true` option.
Correction:
Added `blank=true` to the command to match the options described in the text.
Explanation:
The `blank=true` option is necessary to create a blank wallet. Including this option ensures the command matches the options specified in the text.

fc7dfb3df5 test: Don't enforce BIP94 on regtest unless specified by arg (Martin Zumsande)
Pull request description:
The added arg `-test=bip94` is only used in a functional test for BIP94. This is done because the default regtest consensus rules should follow mainnet, not testnet.
Fixes#31137.

Pull request description:
Implements follow-up suggestions from #30793.
- Now disallows undefined verbosity levels (below and above valid values) (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30793#discussion_r1786093549)
- Disallows boolean verbosity (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30793#discussion_r1788273274) and adds guidance to developer-notes
- Checks that `getorphantxs` is a hidden rpc (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30793#discussion_r1786107786)
- Adds a test for `expiration` time
- Adds `entry` time to the returned orphan objects (verbosity >=1) to relieve the user from having to calculate it from `expiration`. Also adds associated test. (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30793#discussion_r1743687732)
- Minor cleanup (blank line removal and log message move) (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30793#discussion_r1786092641)
Included a commit to rename the test to a more generic `get_orphans` to better accommodate future orphanage-related RPCs (e.g. `getorphanangeinfo`). Can drop the refactor commit from this PR if people feel strongly about it.

Before this commit, we would always prepare tracepoint arguments
regardless of the tracepoint being used or not. While we already made
sure not to include expensive arguments in our tracepoints, this
commit introduces gating to make sure the arguments are only prepared
if the tracepoints are actually used. This is a win-win improvement
to our tracing framework. For users not interested in tracing, the
overhead is reduced to a cheap 'greater than 0' compare. As the
semaphore-gating technique used here is available in bpftrace, bcc,
and libbpf, users interested in tracing don't have to change their
tracing scripts while profiting from potential future tracepoints
passing slightly more expensive arguments. An example are mempool
tracepoints that pass serialized transactions. We've avoided the
serialization in the past as it was too expensive.
Under the hood, the semaphore-gating works by placing a 2-byte
semaphore in the '.probes' ELF section. The address of the semaphore
is contained in the ELF note providing the tracepoint information
(`readelf -n ./src/bitcoind | grep NT_STAPSDT`). Tracing toolkits
like bpftrace, bcc, and libbpf increase the semaphore at the address
upon attaching to the tracepoint. We only prepare the arguments and
reach the tracepoint if the semaphore is greater than zero. The
semaphore is decreased when detaching from the tracepoint.
This also extends the "Adding a new tracepoint" documentation to
include information about the semaphores and updated step-by-step
instructions on how to add a new tracepoint.
The use of `PACKAGE_NAME` for the project's variable name is
problematic, as this name is commonly used in CMake's interface
variables. If third-party CMake code handles with scopes improperly,
our `PACKAGE_NAME` variable could end up with an unexpected value.
This change avoids such conflicts by renaming all `PACKAGE_*` variables
to `CLIENT_*`.

Pull request description:
This PR removes UPnP IGD support and drops our [miniupnp](https://github.com/miniupnp/miniupnp) dependency.
Miniupnpc is a C library (somewhat) maintained by a single person which had several vulnerabilities in the past (a couple dozens are listed [here](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=miniupnp)), some of which directly affected our software ([RCE in 2015](https://bitcoincore.org/en/2024/07/03/disclose_upnp_rce/), [OOM in 2020](https://bitcoincore.org/en/2024/07/31/disclose-upnp-oom/)).
The main purpose of this functionality is to have more (non-data-center) reachable nodes on the network. For a non-technical user running Bitcoin Core at home, the software would automatically open a port on their router to receive incoming connections. This way, users not able to manually open a port on their router would still provide the network with more resources and enhance its diversity.
However, due to past vulnerabilities (and a worry about unknown future ones) in miniupnpc this feature was disabled by default in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6795. Having it disabled by default kills (most of?) the purpose of having this functionality in the first place: someone technical enough to understand the `-upnp` startup option or the "enable UPnP" setting is most likely able to open a port on his box in the first place.
In addition, laanwj implemented PCP with a NAT-PMP fallback directly in Bitcoin Core in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30043. If we ever want to re-enable automatic NAT traversal by default in Bitcoin Core, this is the best option (and in my opinion the only sane one). The NAT-PMP fallback makes it so compatibility shouldn't be (much of) an issue.
On balance, i believe that keeping this functionality and this barely maintained C dependency has higher costs than benefits. Therefore i propose that we get rid of it.

cd0edf26c0 tracing: cast block_connected duration to nanoseconds (0xb10c)
Pull request description:
When the `validation:block_connected` tracepoint was introduced in 8f37f5c2a5, the connect block duration was passed in microseconds `µs`. By starting to use steady clock in fabf1cdb20 this changed to nanoseconds `ns`. As the test only checked if the duration value is `> 0` as a plausibility check, this went unnoticed. This was detected this when setting up monitoring for block validation time as part of the Great Consensus Cleanup Revival discussion.
This change casts the duration explicitly to nanoseconds, updates the documentation, and adds a check for an upper bound to the tracepoint interface tests. The upper bound is quite lax as mining the block takes much longer than connecting the empty test block. It's however able to detect a duration passed in an incorrect unit (1000x off).
A previous version of this PR casted the duration to microseconds `µs` - however, as the last three major releases have had the duration as nanoseconds (and this went unnoticed), we assume that this is the API now and changeing it back to microseconds would break the API again.

fa1b139d17 Bump python minimum supported version to 3.10 (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
All supported operating systems ship with python 3.10 (or later), so bumping the minimum should not cause any issues. A bump will allow new code to use new python features.
For reference:
* https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/python3
* https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/python3
* FreeBSD 13/14 ships with 3.11
* CentOS-like 8/9 ships with 3.11/3.12 (via `appstream`)
* OpenSuse Tumbleweed ships with all python versions, e.g. https://software.opensuse.org/package/python312-base
This is for Bitcoin Core 29.0 in 2025 (next year), not the soon upcoming 28.0 this fall.
