When calculating the fee for a given tx size from a fee rate, we should
always round up to the next satoshi. Otherwise, if we round down (via
truncation), the calculated fee may result in a fee with a feerate
slightly less than targeted.
This is particularly important for coin selection as a slightly lower
feerate than expected can result in a variety of issues.

Pull request description:
#22974 improved the performance of `CAddrMan::Good()` significantly so that it could be used directly in the fuzz tests, instead of those tests reaching directly into addrman's internal data structures.
This PR continues the work of making the fuzz tests only use `CAddrMan`'s public methods and pulls the `Fill()` and `RandAddr()` methods from `CAddrManDeterministic` into free functions, since they no longer need access to `CAddrMan` internals.

RBF is now largely in use on the network (signaled for by around 20% of
all transactions on average) and replacement logic is implemented in
most end-user wallets. The rate of replaced transactions is also
expected to rise as fee-bumping techniques are being developed for
pre-signed transaction ("L2") protocols.

The WalletControllerActivity progress dialog had title of "Bitcoin-Qt".
The window title for opening wallet window should be "Open Wallet",
for creating wallet window should be "Create Wallet", and for the window
that is displayed when wallets are being loaded at startup should be
"Load Wallets". This PR fixes that.
Put these in `#ifdef` as they are newer syscalls that might not be
defined on all kernels:
__NR_pkey_alloc
__NR_pkey_free
__NR_pkey_mprotect
__NR_preadv2
__NR_pwritev2

4747da3a5b Add syscall sandboxing (seccomp-bpf) (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
Add experimental syscall sandboxing using seccomp-bpf (Linux secure computing mode).
Enable filtering of system calls using seccomp-bpf: allow only explicitly allowlisted (expected) syscalls to be called.
The syscall sandboxing implemented in this PR is an experimental feature currently available only under Linux x86-64.
To enable the experimental syscall sandbox the `-sandbox=<mode>` option must be passed to `bitcoind`:
```
-sandbox=<mode>
Use the experimental syscall sandbox in the specified mode
(-sandbox=log-and-abort or -sandbox=abort). Allow only expected
syscalls to be used by bitcoind. Note that this is an
experimental new feature that may cause bitcoind to exit or crash
unexpectedly: use with caution. In the "log-and-abort" mode the
invocation of an unexpected syscall results in a debug handler
being invoked which will log the incident and terminate the
program (without executing the unexpected syscall). In the
"abort" mode the invocation of an unexpected syscall results in
the entire process being killed immediately by the kernel without
executing the unexpected syscall.
```
The allowed syscalls are defined on a per thread basis.
I've used this feature since summer 2020 and I find it to be a helpful testing/debugging addition which makes it much easier to reason about the actual capabilities required of each type of thread in Bitcoin Core.

[About seccomp and seccomp-bpf](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seccomp):
> In computer security, seccomp (short for secure computing mode) is a facility in the Linux kernel. seccomp allows a process to make a one-way transition into a "secure" state where it cannot make any system calls except exit(), sigreturn(), and read() and write() to already-open file descriptors. Should it attempt any other system calls, the kernel will terminate the process with SIGKILL or SIGSYS. In this sense, it does not virtualize the system's resources but isolates the process from them entirely.
>
> […]
>
> seccomp-bpf is an extension to seccomp that allows filtering of system calls using a configurable policy implemented using Berkeley Packet Filter rules. It is used by OpenSSH and vsftpd as well as the Google Chrome/Chromium web browsers on Chrome OS and Linux. (In this regard seccomp-bpf achieves similar functionality, but with more flexibility and higher performance, to the older systrace—which seems to be no longer supported for Linux.)

0dc8bf5b92 [net processing] Dont request compact blocks in blocks-only mode (Niklas Gögge)
Pull request description:
A blocks-only node does not participate in transaction relay to reduce its own bandwidth usage and therefore does not have a mempool. The use of compact blocks is not beneficial to such a node since it will always have to download full blocks.
In both high- and low-bandwidth relaying the `cmpctblock` message is sent. This represent a bandwidth overhead for blocks-only nodes because the `cmpctblock` message is several times larger in the average case than the equivalent `headers` or `inv` announcement.
![compact blocks](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitcoin/bips/master/bip-0152/protocol-flow.png)
>**Example:**
>A block with 2000 txs results in a `cmpctblock` with 2000*6 bytes in short ids. This is several times larger than the equivalent 82 bytes for a `headers` message or 37 bytes for an `inv`.
## Approach
This PR makes blocks-only nodes always use the legacy relaying to download new blocks.
It does so by making blocks-only nodes never initiate a high-bandwidth block relay connection by disabling the sending of `sendcmpct(1)`. Additionally a blocks-only node will never request a compact block using `getdata(CMPCT)`.
A blocks-only node will continue to serve compact blocks to its peers in both high- and low-bandwidth mode.

4747db8761 util: Introduce ToIntegral<T>(const std::string&) for locale independent parsing using std::from_chars(…) (C++17) (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
Make `Parse{Int,UInt}{32,64}` use locale independent `std::from_chars(…)` (C++17) instead of locale dependent `strto{l,ll,ul,ull}`.
[About `std::from_chars`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/from_chars): _"Unlike other parsing functions in C++ and C libraries, `std::from_chars` is locale-independent, non-allocating, and non-throwing."_

4446ef0a54 build: remove support for weak linking getauxval() (fanquake)
e56100c5b4 build: remove arm includes from getauxval() check (fanquake)
Pull request description:
It was [pointed out in #23030](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/23030#issuecomment-922893367) that we might be able to get rid of our weak linking of [`getauxval()`](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/getauxval.3.html) (`HAVE_WEAK_GETAUXVAL`) entirely, with only Android being a potential holdout:
> I wonder if it's time to get rid of HAVE_WEAK_GETAUXVAL. I think it's confusing. Either we build against a C library that has this functionality, or not. We don't do this weak linking thing for any other symbols and recently got rid of the other glibc backwards compatibility stuff.
> Unless there is still a current platform that really needs it (Android?), I'd prefer to remove it from the build system, it has caused enough issues.
After looking at Android further, it would seem that given we are moving to using `std::filesystem`, which [requires NDK version 22 and later](https://github.com/android/ndk/wiki/Changelog-r22), and `getauxval` has been available in the since [API version 18](https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/cpu-features#features_using_libcs_getauxval3), that shouldn't really be an issue. Support for API levels < 19 will be dropped with the NDK 24 release, and according to [one website](https://apilevels.com/), supporting API level 18+ will cover ~99% of devices. Note that in the CI we currently build with NDK version 22 and API level 28.
The other change in this PR is removing the include of headers for ARM intrinsics, from the check for strong `getauxval()` support in configure, as they shouldn't be needed. Including these headers also meant that the check would basically only succeed when building for ARM. This would be an issue if we remove weak linking, as we wouldn't detect `getauxval()` as supported on other platforms. Note that we also use `getauxval()` in our RNG when it's available.
I've checked that with these changes we detect support for strong `getauxval()` on Alpine (muslibc). On Linux, previously we'd be detecting support for weak getauxval(), now we detect strong support. Note that we already require glibc 2.17, and `getauxval()` was introduced in `2.16`.
This is an alternative / supersedes #23030.
