doc: install qt5 when building on macOS
Brew has updated such that qt now refers to Qt 6.0.1. If builders
install this, configure will not work pick up qt. For now, install
qt@5 (5.15.2), until required build system and likely source changes
are made.

init: introduce I2P connectivity options
Introduce two new options to reach the I2P network:

* `-i2psam=<ip:port>` point to the I2P SAM proxy. If this is set then
  the I2P network is considered reachable and we can make outgoing
  connections to I2P peers via that proxy. We listen for and accept
  incoming connections from I2P peers if the below is set in addition to
  `-i2psam=<ip:port>`

* `-i2pacceptincoming` if this is set together with `-i2psam=<ip:port>`
  then we accept incoming I2P connections via the I2P SAM proxy.

Merge #18466: rpc: fix invalid parameter error codes for {sign,verify}message RPCs
a5cfb40e27 doc: release note for changed {sign,verify}message error codes (Sebastian Falbesoner)
9e399b9b2d test: check parameter validity in rpc_signmessage.py (Sebastian Falbesoner)
e62f0c71f1 rpc: fix {sign,message}verify RPC errors for invalid address/signature (Sebastian Falbesoner)

Pull request description:

  RPCs that accept address parameters usually return the intended error code `RPC_INVALID_ADDRESS_OR_KEY` (-5) if a passed address is invalid. The two exceptions to the rule are `signmessage` and `verifymessage`, which return `RPC_TYPE_ERROR` (-3) in this case instead. Oddly enough `verifymessage` returns `RPC_INVALID_ADDRESS_OR_KEY` when the _signature_ was malformed, where `RPC_TYPE_ERROR` would be more approriate.

  This PR fixes these inaccuracies and as well adds tests to `rpc_signmessage.py` that check the parameter validity and error codes for the related RPCs `signmessagewithprivkey`, `signmessage` and `verifymessage`.

Pull request description:

  Big picture overview in [this gist](https://gist.github.com/Sjors/29d06728c685e6182828c1ce9b74483d).

  This PR lets `bitcoind` call an arbitrary command `-signer=<cmd>`, e.g. a hardware wallet driver,  where it can fetch public keys, ask to display an address, and sign a transaction (using PSBT under the hood).

  It's design to work with https://github.com/bitcoin-core/HWI, which supports multiple hardware wallets. Any command with the same arguments and return values will work. It simplifies the manual procedure described [here](https://github.com/bitcoin-core/HWI/blob/master/docs/bitcoin-core-usage.md).

  Usage is documented in [doc/external-signer.md](
  https://github.com/Sjors/bitcoin/blob/2019/08/hww-box2/doc/external-signer.md), which also describes what protocol a different signer binary should conform to.

  Use `--enable-external-signer` to opt in, requires Boost::Process:

  ```
  Options used to compile and link:
    with wallet     = yes
    with gui / qt   = no
    external signer = yes
  ```

  It adds the following RPC methods:
  * `enumeratesigners`: asks <cmd> for a list of signers (e.g. devices) and their master key fingerprint
  * `signerdisplayaddress <address>`:  asks <cmd> to display an address

  It enhances the following RPC methods:
  * `createwallet`: takes an additional `external_signer` argument and fetches keys from device
  * `send`: automatically sends transaction to device and waits

  Usage TL&DR:
  * clone HWI repo somewhere and launch `bitcoind -signer=../HWI/hwi.py`
  * check if you can see your hardware device: `bitcoin-cli enumeratesigners`
  * create wallet and auto import keys `bitcoin-cli createwallet "hww" true true "" true true true`
  * display address on device: `bitcoin-cli signerdisplayaddress ...`
  * to spend, use `send` RPC and approve transaction on device

  Prerequisites:
  - [x] #21127 load wallet flags before everything else
  - [x] #21182 remove mostly pointless BOOST_PROCESS macro

  Potentially useful followups:
  - GUI support: bitcoin-core/gui#4
  - bumpfee support
  - (automatically) verify (a subset of) keys on the device after import, through message signing

25c57d6409 [doc] Add a note about where lock annotations should go. (Amiti Uttarwar)
ad5f01b960 [validation] Move the lock annotation from function definition to declaration (Amiti Uttarwar)

Pull request description:

  Based on reviewing #21188

  the first commit switches the lock annotations on `CheckInputScripts` to be on the function declaration instead of on the function definition. this ensures that all call sites are checked, not just ones that come after the definition.

  the second commit adds a note to the developer-notes section to clarify where the annotations should be applied.

configure: add --enable-external-signer
This option replaces --with-boost-process

This prepares external signer support to be disabled by default.
It adds a configure option to enable this feature and to check
if Boost::Process is present.

This also exposes ENABLE_EXTERNAL_SIGNER to the test suite via test/config.ini

Merge #21205: build: actually fail when Boost is missing
c5da2749e2 build: actually stop configure if Boost isn't available (fanquake)
cad8b527ea build: explicitly install libboost-dev package (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  If Boost is not found via AX_BOOST_BASE, we don't actually stop
  configuring, only a warning is emitted:
  ```bash
  checking for boostlib >= 1.58.0 (105800)... configure: We could not detect the boost libraries (version MINIMUM_REQUIRED_BOOST or higher). If you have a staged boost library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option.  If you are sure you have boost installed, then check your version number looking in <boost/version.hpp>. See http://randspringer.de/boost for more documentation.
  ```

  Instead we usually fail when one of the other AX_BOOST_* macros fails to find a library. These macros are slowly being
  removed, and in any case, it makes more sense to fail earlier if Boost is missing.

  If Boost is unavailable, the failure now looks like:
  ```bash
  checking for boostlib >= 1.58.0 (105800)... configure: We could not detect the boost libraries (version 1.58.0 or higher). If you have a staged boost library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option.  If you are sure you have boost installed, then check your version number looking in <boost/version.hpp>. See http://randspringer.de/boost for more documentation.
  configure: error: Boost is not available!
  ```

  Note that we now just pass the version into AX_BOOST_BASE, which fixes it's display in the output (rather than showing `MINIMUM_REQUIRED_BOOST`).

  This PR also has a commit that adds `libboost-dev` to our install instructions and CI. This package is currently installed as a side-effect of installing our other libboost-*-dev packages. However as those continue to disappear, it makes sense to install boost-dev explicitly.

Merge #20380: doc: Add instructions on how to fuzz the P2P layer using Honggfuzz NetDriver
fd0be92cff doc: Add instructions on how to fuzz the P2P layer using Honggfuzz NetDriver (practicalswift)

Pull request description:

  Add instructions on how to fuzz the P2P layer using [Honggfuzz NetDriver](http://blog.swiecki.net/2018/01/fuzzing-tcp-servers.html).

  Honggfuzz NetDriver allows for very easy fuzzing of TCP servers such as Bitcoin Core without having to write any custom fuzzing harness. The `bitcoind` server process is largely fuzzed without modification.

  This makes the fuzzing highly realistic: a bug reachable by the fuzzer is likely also remotely triggerable by an untrusted peer.

Top commit has no ACKs.

Merge #20986: docs: update developer notes to discourage very long lines
aa929abf8d [docs] Update developer notes to discourage very long lines (John Newbery)

Pull request description:

  Mandatory rules on line lengths are bad - there will always be cases where a longer line is more readable than the alternative.

  However, very long lines for no good reason _do_ hurt readability. For example, this declaration in validation.h is 274 chars:

  ```c++
      bool ConnectTip(BlockValidationState& state, const CChainParams& chainparams, CBlockIndex* pindexNew, const std::shared_ptr<const CBlock>& pblock, ConnectTrace& connectTrace, DisconnectedBlockTransactions& disconnectpool) EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED(cs_main, m_mempool.cs);
  ```

  That won't fit on one line without wrapping on my 27" monitor with a comfortable font size. Much easier to read is something like:

  ```c++
      bool ConnectTip(BlockValidationState& state, const CChainParams& chainparams,
                      CBlockIndex* pindexNew, const std::shared_ptr<const CBlock>& pblock,
                      ConnectTrace& connectTrace, DisconnectedBlockTransactions& disconnectpool)
          EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED(cs_main, m_mempool.cs);
  ```

  Therefore, _discourage_ (don't forbid) line lengths greater than 100 characters in our developer style guide.

  100 chars is somewhat arbitrary. The old standard was 80, but that seems very limiting with modern displays.

Pull request description:

  This replaces `boost::shared_mutex` and `boost::unique_lock` with [`std::shared_mutex`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/shared_mutex) & [`std::unique_lock`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/unique_lock).

  Even though [some concerns were raised](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16684#issuecomment-726214696) in #16684 with regard to `std::shared_mutex` being unsafe to use across some glibc versions, I still think this change is an improvement. As I mentioned in #21022, I also think trying to restrict standard library feature usage based on bugs in glibc is not only hard to do, but it's not currently clear exactly how we do that in practice (does it also extend to patching out use in our dependencies, should we be implementing more runtime checks for features we are using, when do we consider an affected glibc "old enough" not to worry about? etc). If you take a look through the [glibc bug tracker](https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/describecomponents.cgi?product=glibc) you'll no doubt find plenty of (active) bug reports for standard library code we already using. Obviously not to say we shouldn't try and avoid buggy code where possible.

  Two other points:

  [Cory mentioned in #21022](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21022#issuecomment-769274179):
  > It also seems reasonable to me to worry that boost hits the same underlying glibc bug, and we've just not happened to trigger the right conditions yet.

  Moving away from Boost to the standard library also removes the potential for differences related to Boosts configuration. Boost has multiple versions of `shared_mutex`, and what you end up using, and what it's backed by depends on:
  * The version of Boost.
  * The platform you're building for.
  * Which version of `BOOST_THREAD_VERSION` is defined: (2,3,4 or 5) default=2. (see [here](https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_70_0/doc/html/thread/build.html#thread.build.configuration) for some of the differences).
  * Is `BOOST_THREAD_V2_SHARED_MUTEX` defined? (not by default). If so, you might get the ["less performant, but more robust"](https://github.com/boostorg/thread/issues/230#issuecomment-475937761) version of `shared_mutex`.

  A lot of these factors are eliminated by our use of depends, but users will have varying configurations. It's also not inconceivable to think that a distro, or some package manager might start defining something like `BOOST_THREAD_VERSION=3`. Boost tried to change the default from 2 to 3 at one point.

  With this change, we no longer use Boost Thread, so this PR also removes it from depends, the build system, CI etc.

  Previous similar PRs were #19183 & #20922. The authors are included in the commits here.
  Also related to #21022 - pthread sanity checking.

cc30dfbd4b doc: Document use of make-tag script to make tags
To make release tags the `make-tag.py` script from the maintainer tools
should be used. This ensures that all the various occurences of the
version in different files match the tagged version before proceeding.

Also replace other "ping wumpus" references.

Pull request description:

  This small PR adds a few missing mentions of signet w.r.t. chain enumerations:

  - RPC `getblockchaininfo`: result description for `"chain"`
  - RPC `getmininginfo`: result description for `"chain"`
  - REST interface documentation:
      - default ports listing for each chain
      - `"chain"` description for `chaininfo` endpoint result

  The instances were identified via `git grep -i "main.*test.*reg"`.

Pull request description:

  After live-demo-ing a Guix build (which completed successfully!) on achow101's stream, I realized there were a few quality of life improvements which can be made to improve the user experience of our Guix build process. Here are a few of them.

  Notable changes:
  1. When `MAX_JOBS` is specified, both `guix time-machine` and `guix environment` will now build up to `MAX_JOBS` packages at a time when creating the build environment
  2. The instructions for using substitutes were incorrect, and has now been replaced with a `SUBSTITUTE_URLS` environment variable, which works well with shell's IFS splitting rules
  3. New `ADDITIONAL_GUIX_{COMMON,TIMEMACHINE}_FLAGS` options, for more granular customization of the build process.
  4. README cleanup
