* Instead of calling RandAddSeedSleep anytime the scheduler goes
idle, call its replacement (RandAddSeedPeriodic) just once per
minute. This has better guarantees of actually being run, and
helps limit how frequently the dynamic env data is gathered.
* Since this code runs once per minute regardless now, we no
longer need to keep track of the last time strengthening was
run; just do it always.
* Make strengthening time context dependent (100 ms at startup,
10 ms once per minute afterwards).
49997813a4 test: check custom ancestor limit in mempool_packages.py (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
The functional test `mempool_packages.py` starts one node with default ancestor/descendant limit settings and one with a custom, reduced ancestor limit (currently `-limitancestorcount=5`). The effect of the latter had not been tested yet though. This is approached in this PR by checking on the expected mempool contents of node1 after the node0 ancestor tests are done, via the following three conditions:
- the # of txs in the node1 mempool is equal to the the limit
- all txs in node1 mempool are a subset of txs in node0 mempool
- the node1 mempool txs match the start of the constructed tx-chain
Note that this still doesn't *fully* check the expected mempool of node1 (e.g. that it isn't influenced by `prioritisetransaction` RPC on node0), hence I add another TODO. In the future it would make sense to also set a custom descendant limit when the second TODO about checking node1's mempool is approached: 89e93135ae/test/functional/mempool_packages.py (L228)

To test the custom ancestor limit on node1 (passed by the argument
-limitancestorcount), we check for three conditions:
-> the # of txs in the node1 mempool is equal to the the limit
-> all txs in node1 mempool are a subset of txs in node0 mempool
-> the node1 mempool txs match the start of the constructed tx-chain

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
effort to review. There is a huge lack of active reviewers on the project, so
patches often sit for a long time.

29eb039252 Moves vcpkg list to a text file and updates the appveyor job and readme to use it. (Aaron Clauson)
Pull request description:
#17364 attempted to save a couple of minutes by skipping the `vcpkg` steps if the vcpkg install directory was already cached.
The discussion in #15382 highlights the approach used in #17364 does not accommodate adding a new package.
~~This PR improves the approach to individually check whether each vcpg package is installed rather than checking for the existence of the vcpkg install directory.~~
This PR moves the list of required vcpkg packages into a separate file and uses changes to that file to invalidate the appveyor cache. Whenever the cache is invalidated the vcpkg sources will be updated, the vcpkg binary built and the required packages installed from the latest port files.

Pull request description:
This is a refactoring-only change that makes it easier to add a new settings source.
This PR doesn't change behavior. The [`util_ArgsMerge`](deb2327b43/src/test/util_tests.cpp (L626-L822)) and [`util_ChainMerge`](deb2327b43/src/test/util_tests.cpp (L843-L924)) tests added in #15869 and #15988 were written specifically to confirm that ArgsManager settings are parsed, merged, and returned the same way before and after this change.
This change:
- Makes it easier to add new settings sources that can get merged with existing sources (see 70675c3e4975203ad6222ba2b00c83b4e4213793 from #15935).
- Separates parsing of settings from merging of settings, and deduplicates merging code so it doesn't happen five different places ([GetArg](c459c5f701/src/util/system.cpp (L221-L244)), [GetNetBoolArg](c459c5f701/src/util/system.cpp (L255-L261)), [GetArgs](c459c5f701/src/util/system.cpp (L460-L467)), [IsArgNegated](c459c5f701/src/util/system.cpp (L482-L491)), [GetUnsuitableSectionOnlyArgs](c459c5f701/src/util/system.cpp (L343-L352))) in inconsistent ways.
- Documents and tests current strange merging behaviors, so they be cleaned up in the future if resulting code simplifications and UX improvements warrant loss of backwards compatibility. The newly documented behaviors are: command line [ignored arguments](69d44f3cc7/src/util/system.cpp (L323-L326)) and [more ignored arguments](69d44f3cc7/src/util/settings.cpp (L67-L72)), and config file [reverse precedence](69d44f3cc7/src/util/settings.cpp (L61-L65)), [inconsistently applied top-level settings](69d44f3cc7/src/util/settings.cpp (L55-L59)), and [zombie values](69d44f3cc7/src/util/settings.cpp (L101-L108)).
The original motivation for this change was to make it easy to add a new persistent setting source without introducing more bugs and inconsistencies. Two commits building on top of this to add a persistent `-wallet` setting are pretty straightforward and show how the new code can be extended:
* 70675c3e4975203ad6222ba2b00c83b4e4213793 from #15935 – _Add \<datadir>/settings.json persistent settings storage_
* 04c80c40df9fc6f4734ba238ea7f65607cf88089 from #15937 – _Add loadwallet and createwallet RPC load_on_startup options_
