It's not actually possible to change this value, so remove the
indirection of it being a conn option.
DEFAULT_MAX_UPLOAD_TIMEFRAME is a compile time constant.
To make eclipse attacks more difficult, regularly initiate outbound connections
and stay connected long enough to sync headers and potentially learn of new
blocks. If we learn a new block, rotate out an existing block-relay peer in
favor of the new peer.
This augments the existing outbound peer rotation that exists -- currently we
make new full-relay connections when our tip is stale, which we disconnect
after waiting a small time to see if we learn a new block. As block-relay
connections use minimal bandwidth, we can make these connections regularly and
not just when our tip is stale.
Like feeler connections, these connections are not aggressive; whenever our
timer fires (once every 5 minutes on average), we'll try to initiate a new
block-relay connection as described, but if we fail to connect we just wait for
our timer to fire again before repeating with a new peer.

Pull request description:
Fixes#19676, "_For every peer expose through getpeerinfo RPC whether or not we selected them as HB peers, and whether or not they selected us as HB peers._" See [BIP152](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0152.mediawiki), in particular the [protocol flow diagram](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/raw/master/bip-0152/protocol-flow.png). The newly introduced states are changed on the following places in the code:
* on reception of a `SENDCMPCT` message with valid version, the field `m_highbandwidth_from` is changed depending on the first integer parameter in the message (1=high bandwidth, 0=low bandwidth), i.e. it just mirrors the field `CNodeState.fPreferHeaderAndIDs`.
* after adding a `SENDCMPCT` message to the send queue, the field `m_highbandwidth_to` is changed depending on how the first integer parameter is set (same as above)
Note that after receiving `VERACK`, the node also sends `SENDCMPCT`, but that is only to announce the preferred version and never selects high-bandwidth mode, hence there is no need to change the state variables there, which are initialized to `false` anyways.

Outbound peer logic prevents connecting to addresses that we're already
connected to, so prevent inadvertent eviction of current peers via
test-before-evict by checking this condition and marking current peer's
addresses as Good().

This is an implementation of #17326:
- all (currently 2) outbound block-relay-only connections (#15759) are dumped to `anchors.dat` file
- on restart a node tries to connect to the addresses from `anchors.dat`
This PR prevents a type of eclipse attack when an attacker exploits a victim node restart to force it to connect to new, probably adversarial, peers.

Pull request description:
This PR adds ability to label incoming Tor connections as different from normal localhost connections.
Closes#8973.
Closes#16693.
Default onion service target ports are:
- 8334 on mainnnet
- 18334 on testnet
- 38334 on signet
- 18445 on regtest
To set the onion service target socket manually the extended `-bind` config option could be used:
```
$ src/bitcoind -help | grep -A 6 -e '-bind'
-bind=<addr>[:<port>][=onion]
Bind to given address and always listen on it (default: 0.0.0.0). Use
[host]:port notation for IPv6. Append =onion to tag any incoming
connections to that address and port as incoming Tor connections
(default: 127.0.0.1:8334=onion, testnet: 127.0.0.1:18334=onion,
signet: 127.0.0.1:38334=onion, regtest: 127.0.0.1:18445=onion)

2ea62cae48 Improve docs about feeler connections (Gleb Naumenko)
Pull request description:
"feeler" and "test-before-evict" are two different strategies suggest in [Eclipse Attacks on Bitcoin’s Peer-to-Peer Network](https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/usenixsecurity15/sec15-paper-heilman.pdf). In our codebase, we use `ConnType::FEELER` to implement both.
It is confusing, up to the point that our documentation was just incorrect.
This PR:
- ~clarifies this aspect by renaming "ConnType::FEELER" to "ConnType::PROBE", meaning that this connections only probes that the node is operational, and then disconnects.~
- fixes the documentation

Pull request description:
Inspired by #15206 and #15197, this PR moves all message header verification from the message processing layer and into the network/transport layer.
In the previous PRs there is a change in behavior, where we would disconnect from peers upon a single failed checksum check. In various discussions there was concern over whether this was the right choice, and some expressed a desire to see how this would look if it was made to be a pure refactor.
For more context, see https://bitcoincore.reviews/15206.html#l-81.
This PR improves the separation between the p2p layers, helping improvements like [BIP324](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18242) and #18989.

This moves header size and netmagic checking out of net_processing and
into net. This check now runs in ReadHeader, so that net can exit early
out of receiving bytes from the peer. IsValid is now slimmed down, so
it no longer needs a MessageStartChars& parameter.
Additionally this removes the rest of the m_valid_* members from
CNetMessage.
This adds a CChainParams& member to V1TransportDeserializer member, and
use it in place of many Params() calls. In addition to reducing the
number of calls to a global, this removes a parameter from GetMessage
(and will later allow us to remove one from CMessageHeader::IsValid())
This commit removes the single-parameter contructor of CMessageHeader
and replaces it with a default constructor.
The single parameter contructor isn't used anywhere except for tests.
There is no reason to initialize a CMessageHeader with a particular
messagestart. This messagestart should always be replaced when
deserializing an actual message header so that we can run checks on it.
The default constructor initializes it to zero, just like the command
and checksum.
This also removes a parameter of a V1TransportDeserializer constructor,
as it was only used for this purpose.
This removes the m_valid_checksum member from CNetMessage. Instead,
GetMessage() returns an Optional.
Additionally, GetMessage() has been given an out parameter to be used to
hold error information. For now it is specifically a uint32_t used to
hold the raw size of the corrupt message.
The checksum check is now done in GetMessage.
This is intended to only be used for logging.
This will allow log messages in the following commits to keep recording
the peer's ID, even when logging is moved into V1TransportDeserializer.
In addition to adding more specificity to the log statement about the type of
connection, this change also consolidates two statements into one. Previously,
the second one should have never been hit, since block-relay connections would
match the "!IsInboundConn()" condition and return early.

Pull request description:
On master (6fef85bfa3) `CNode` has two members to keep protocol version:
- `nRecvVersion` for received messages
- `nSendVersion` for messages to send
After exchanging with `VERSION` and `VERACK` messages via protocol version `INIT_PROTO_VERSION`, both nodes set `nRecvVersion` _and_ `nSendVersion` to _the same_ value which is the greatest common protocol version.
This PR:
- replaces two `CNode` members, `nRecvVersion` `nSendVersion`, with `m_greatest_common_version`
- removes duplicated getter and setter
There is no change in behavior on the P2P network.
