This patch improves performance and resource usage around IP
addresses that are banned for misbehavior. They're already not
actually banned, as connections from them are still allowed,
but they are preferred for eviction if the inbound connection
slots are full.
Stop treating these like manually banned IP ranges, and instead
just keep them in a rolling Bloom filter of misbehaving nodes,
which isn't persisted to disk or exposed through the ban
framework. The effect remains the same: preferred for eviction,
avoided for outgoing connections, and not relayed to other peers.
Also change the name of this mechanism to better reflect reality;
they're not banned, just discouraged.
Contains release notes and several interface improvements by
John Newbery.

Alternative to #18252, see motivation there.
This changes `CNodeStats` to handle ping timestamps as their original incoming usec `int64_t` values until the time they need to be displayed.

This PR attempts to solve the problem explained in #16599.
A particular attack which encouraged us to work on this issue is explained here [[Erebus Attack against Bitcoin Peer-to-Peer Network](https://erebus-attack.comp.nus.edu.sg/)] (by @muoitranduc)
Instead of relying on /16 prefix to diversify the connections every node creates, we would instead rely on the (ip -> ASN) mapping, if this mapping is provided.
A .map file can be created by every user independently based on a router dump, or provided along with the Bitcoin release. Currently we use the python scripts written by @sipa to create a .map file, which is no larger than 2MB (awesome!).
Here I suggest adding a field to peers.dat which would represent a hash of asmap file used while serializing addrman (or 0 for /16 prefix legacy approach).
In this case, every time the file is updated (or grouping method changed), all buckets will be re-computed.
I believe that alternative selective re-bucketing for only updated ranges would require substantial changes.
TODO:
- ~~more unit tests~~
- ~~find a way to test the code without including >1 MB mapping file in the repo.~~
- find a way to check that mapping file is not corrupted (checksum?)
- comments and separate tests for asmap.cpp
- make python code for .map generation public
- figure out asmap distribution (?)
~Interesting corner case: I’m using std::hash to compute a fingerprint of asmap, and std::hash returns size_t. I guess if a user updates the OS to 64-bit, then the hash of asap will change? Does it even matter?~

GetWarnings() changes the format of the output warning string based on a
passed-in string argument that can be set to "gui" or "statusbar".
Change the argument to a bool:
- there are only two types of behaviour, so a bool is a more natural
argument type
- changing the name to 'verbose' does not set any expectations for the
how the calling code will use the returned string (currently,
'statusbar' is used for RPC warnings, not a status bar)
- removes some error-handling code for when the passed-in string is not
one of the two strings expected.
f44abe4bed refactor: Remove addrdb.h dependency from node.h (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
`node.h` includes `addrdb.h` just for the sake of `banmap_t` type.
This PR makes dependencies simpler and explicit.
~Also needless `typedef` has been removed from `enum BanReason`.~

Wallet code should use interfaces::Chain and not directly access to node state.
Add a g_rpc_chain replacement global for wallet code to use, and move
g_rpc_node definition to a libbitcoin_server source file so there are link
errors if wallet code tries to access it.
This moves the following policy settings functions and globals to a new
src/policy/settings unit in lib_server:
- `incrementalRelayFee`
- `dustRelayFee`
- `nBytesPerSigOp`
- `fIsBareMultisigStd`
These settings are only required by the node and should not be accessed
by other libraries.
These are separate events which need to be carried out by separate subsystems.
This also cleans up some whitespace and tabs in qt to avoid getting flagged by
the linter.
Current behavior is preserved.
