671b7a3251 gui: fix create unsigned transaction fee bump (furszy)
Pull request description:
Fixes#810.
Not much to explain; we were requiring the wallet to be unlocked for the unsigned transaction creation process.
Fix this by moving the unlock wallet request to the signed transaction creation process.

10c5275ba4 gui: don't permit port in proxy IP option (willcl-ark)
Pull request description:
Fixes: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui/issues/809
Previously it was possible through the GUI to enter an IP address:port into the "Proxy IP" configuration box. After the node was restarted the errant setting would prevent the node starting back up until manually removed from settings.json.
Prevent this with a simple check for ":" in the string. This is acceptable here in the GUI setting because we already fail on a hostname such as "http://x.x.x.x", so it won't cause false positives.

3bf00e1360 gui: debugwindow: update session ID tooltip (Marnix)
Pull request description:
When you have a v2 connection, there is always a session ID.
the _if any_ is a leftover from https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui/pull/754, where the session ID property initially would always be displayed (transport v1 and v2).
So the session ID could be empty when you have a v1 connection.
As now the _Session ID_ property only is displayed for v2 connection, there will always be a session ID.

<!--
Please provide clear motivation for your patch and explain how it improves
Bitcoin Core user experience or Bitcoin Core developer experience
significantly:
* Any test improvements or new tests that improve coverage are always welcome.
* All other changes should have accompanying unit tests (see `src/test/`) or
functional tests (see `test/`). Contributors should note which tests cover
modified code. If no tests exist for a region of modified code, new tests
should accompany the change.
* Bug fixes are most welcome when they come with steps to reproduce or an
explanation of the potential issue as well as reasoning for the way the bug
was fixed.
* Features are welcome, but might be rejected due to design or scope issues.
If a feature is based on a lot of dependencies, contributors should first
consider building the system outside of Bitcoin Core, if possible.
* Refactoring changes are only accepted if they are required for a feature or
bug fix or otherwise improve developer experience significantly. For example,
most "code style" refactoring changes require a thorough explanation why they
are useful, what downsides they have and why they *significantly* improve
developer experience or avoid serious programming bugs. Note that code style
is often a subjective matter. Unless they are explicitly mentioned to be
preferred in the [developer notes](/doc/developer-notes.md), stylistic code
changes are usually rejected.

Bitcoin Core has a thorough review process and even the most trivial change
needs to pass a lot of eyes and requires non-zero or even substantial time

7f5ac4520d build: swap otool for (llvm-)objdump (fanquake)
Pull request description:
This tool is used in GUI packaging on macOS, and also somewhat of a blocker for #21778. The main issue is that some distros don't really ship this tool in a standard ways, i.e Ubuntu only ships `llvm-otool` with a version suffix, i.e `llvm-otool-17`, which makes it hard to find and use. Rather than trying to deal with that mess, switch to using the equivalent LLVM tool (objdump), which is a drop-in replacement.

Pull request description:
The key module's functionality is not used by the kernel library, but currently kernel users are still required to initialize the key module's `secp256k1_context_sign` global as part of the `kernel::Context` through `ECC_Start`. So move the `ECC_Start` call to the `NodeContext` ctor instead to completely remove the key module from the kernel library.
The gui tests currently keep multiple `NodeContext` objects in memory, so call `ECC_Stop` manually to avoid triggering an assertion on `ECC_Start`.

4f347140b1 test: refactor: move fill_mempool to new module mempool_util (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
Different MiniWallet instances using the same mode (either ADDRESS_OP_TRUE, RAW_OP_TRUE or RAW_P2PK) currently always create and spend UTXOs with identical output scripts, which can cause unintentional tx dependencies (see e.g. the discussion in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29827#discussion_r1565443465). In order to avoid mixing of UTXOs between instances, this PR introduces the possibility to provide a MiniWallet tag name, that is used to derive a different internal key for the taproot construction, leading to a different P2TR output script. Note that since we use script-path spending and only the key-path is changed here, no changes in the MiniWallet spending logic are needed.
The new tagging option is then used in the `fill_mempool` helper to create an ephemeral wallet for the filling txs, as suggested in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29827#discussion_r1565964264. To avoid circular dependencies, `fill_mempool` is moved to a new module `mempool_util.py` first.
I'm still not sure if a generic word like "tag" is the right term for what this tries to achieve, happy to pick up better suggestions. Also, maybe passing a tag name is overkill and a boolean flag like "random_output_script" is sufficient?

## Motivation
While checking the outbound eviction code I realized a case was not considered within the comments, which in turn made me realize we had no functional tests for the outbound eviction case (when I went to check/add the test case).
This PR updates the aforementioned comment and adds functional tests to cover the outbound eviction logic, in addition to the existing unit tests found at `src/test/denialofservice_tests.cpp`.

6abe772a17 contrib: Add asmap-tool (Fabian Jahr)
Pull request description:
This adds `asmap.py` and `asmap-tool.py` from sipa's `nextgen` branch: https://github.com/sipa/asmap/tree/nextgen
The motivation is that we should maintain the tooling for de- and encoding asmap files within the bitcoin core repository because it is not possible to use an asmap file that is not encoded.
We already had an earlier version of `asmap.py` within the seeds contrib tools. The newer version only had a small amount of changes and is still compatible, so the old version is removed from contrib/seeds and the new version is made available to `makeseeds.py`.

Also sneaking in some other minor improvements that I found while going through the code:
- Informing the user that `package` needs to be an array of length between `1` and `MAX_PACKAGE_COUNT` is confusing when `IsChildWithPackage()` requires that the package size >= 2. Remove this check to avoid code duplication and sending a confusing error message.

fKnown is true during reindex (and only then), which deletes
any existing snapshot chainstate. As a result, this function can never
be called wth fKnown set and a snapshot chainstate.
Add an Assume for this, and make the code initializing a blockfile cursor

98570fe29b test: add coverage for parsing cryptographically invalid pubkeys (Sebastian Falbesoner)
c740b154d1 rpc: use `HexToPubKey` helper for all legacy pubkey-parsing RPCs (Sebastian Falbesoner)
100e8a75bf rpc: check and throw specific pubkey parsing errors in `HexToPubKey` (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
Parsing legacy public keys can fail for three reasons (in this order):
- pubkey is not in hex
- pubkey has an invalid length (not 33 or 65 bytes for compressed/uncompressed, respectively)
- pubkey is crytographically invalid, i.e. is not on curve (`CPubKey.IsFullyValid()` check)
Many RPCs currently perform these checks manually with different error messages, even though we already have a `HexToPubKey` helper. This PR puts all three checks in this helper (the length check was done on the call-sites before), adds specific error messages for each case, and consequently uses it for all RPCs that parse legacy pubkeys. This leads to deduplicated code and also to more consistent and detailed error messages for the user.
Affected RPC calls are `createmultisig`, `addmultisigaddress`, `importpubkey`, `importmulti`, `fundrawtransaction`, `walletcreatefundedpsbt`, `send` and `sendall`.
Note that the error code (-5 a.k.a. `RPC_INVALID_ADDRESS_OR_KEY`) doesn't change in any of the causes, so the changes are not breaking RPC API compatibility. Only the messages are more specific.
The last commits adds test coverage for the cryptographically invalid (not-on-curve) pubkey case which wasn't exercised before.

example, in commit d80e3cbece, it was
needlessly copied from a valid case a few line above for the

Similar to libtool, (llvm-)otool only exists with a version suffix
on some systems (Ubuntu), which makes it annoying to use/find. Avoid
this, by switching to objdump. Which is a drop-in replacement.
This is related to #21778, and the switchover to using vanilla LLVM for
macOS.

fb9f150759 gui: fix misleading signmessage error with segwit (willcl-ark)
Pull request description:
As described in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/10542 (and numerous other places), message signing in Bitcoin Core does not support "signing with a segwit address" and likely will not in the foreseeable future, or at least until a new message-signing standard is agreed upon.
Therefore update the possibly misleading error message presented to the user in the GUI to detail more specifically the reason their message cannot be signed, in the case that a non P2PKH address is entered.
This change takes the [suggested wording](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/10542#issuecomment-1960313569) from @adiabat.
Perhaps with this we can close https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/10542 ?

fa09451f8e Add lint check for bitcoin-config.h include IWYU pragma (MarcoFalke)
dddd40ba82 scripted-diff: Add IWYU pragma keep to bitcoin-config.h includes (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
The `bitcoin-config.h` includes have issues:
* The header is incompatible with iwyu, because symbols may be defined or not defined. So the `IWYU pragma: keep` is needed to keep the include when a symbol is not defined on a platform. Compare the previous discussion in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29408#issuecomment-1948959711
* Guarding the includes by `HAVE_CONFIG_H` is verbose and brittle. Now that all build config dependencies have been removed from low level headers, the benefits are questionable, and the guard can be removed. The linter could also be tricked by guarding the include by `#if defined(HAVE_C0NFIG_H)` (`O` replaced by `0`). Compare the previous discussion in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29404#discussion_r1483189853 .

a68fed111b net: Fix misleading comment for Discover (laanwj)
7766dd280d net: Replace ifname check with IFF_LOOPBACK in Discover (laanwj)
Pull request description:
Checking the interface name is kind of brittle. In the age of network namespaces and containers, there is no reason a loopback interface can't be called differently.
Check for the `IFF_LOOPBACK` flag to detect loopback interface instead.
Also remove a misleading comment in Discover's doc comment.
