These outputs are called anchors, and allow
key-less anchor spends which are vsize-minimized
versus keyed anchors which require larger outputs
when creating and inputs when spending.
ad0c469d98 wallet: Use CTxDestination in CRecipient rather than scriptPubKey (Andrew Chow)
07d3bdf4eb Add PubKeyDestination for P2PK scripts (Andrew Chow)
1a98a51c66 Allow CNoDestination to represent a raw script (Andrew Chow)
8dd067088d Make WitnessUnknown members private (Andrew Chow)
Pull request description:
For silent payments, we want to provide a `SilentPaymentsDestination` to be used as the recipient, which requires `CRecipient` to use something other than just the `scriptPubKey` as we cannot know the output script for a silent payment prior to transaction creation. `CTxDestination` seems like the obvious place to add a `SilentPaymentsDestination` as it is our internal representation of an address.
In order to still allow paying to arbitrary scriptPubKeys (e.g. for data carrier outputs, or the user hand crafted a raw transaction that they have given to `fundrawtransaction`), `CNoDestination` is changed to contain raw scripts.
Additionally, P2PK scripts are now interpreted as a new `PubKeyDestination` rather than `PKHash`. This results in some things that would have given an address for P2PK scripts to no longer do so. This is arguably more correct.
`ExtractDestination`'s behavior is slightly changed for the above. It now returns `true` for those destinations that have addresses, so P2PK scripts now result in `false`. Even though it returns false for `CNoDestination`, the script will now be included in that `CNoDestination`.

P2PK scripts are not PKHash destinations, they should have their own
type.
This also results in no longer showing a p2pkh address for p2pk outputs.
However for backwards compatibility, ListCoinst will still do this
conversion.
Make sure that nothing else can change WitnessUnknown's data members by
making them private. Also change the program to use a vector rather than
C-style array.
This commit addresses #20809.
We add an additional 'error' property in the result of 'validateaddress' in case the address is not valid that gives a short description of why the address in invalid. We also change the error message returned by 'getaddressinfo' in case the address is invalid.
1ac3c983bf Mark single-argument constructors "explicit" (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
Mark single-argument constructors `explicit`.
Rationale:
* Avoid unexpected implicit promotions.
From the developer notes:
> **By default, declare single-argument constructors explicit.**
> Rationale: This is a precaution to avoid unintended conversions that might arise when single-argument constructors are used as implicit conversion functions.
