Pull request description:

  Maintaining the blockfilterindexes in prune mode is possible and may lead to efficient p2p based rescans of wallets (restore backups, import/sweep keys) beyond the prune height (rescans not part of that PR).

  This PR allows running the blockfilterindex(es) in conjunction with pruning.
  * Bitcoind/Qt will shutdown during startup when missing block data has been detected ([re]enable `-blockfilterindex` when we already have pruned)
  * manual block pruning is disabled during blockfilterindex sync
  * auto-pruning is delayed during blockfilterindex sync

  ToDos:
  * [x] Functional tests

Pull request description:

  This is part of the [assumeutxo project](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/11):

  Parent PR: #15606
  Issue: #15605
  Specification: https://github.com/jamesob/assumeutxo-docs/tree/master/proposal

  ---

  This change proposes logic for activating UTXO snapshots, which is unused at the moment aside from an included unittest. There are a few moveonyish/refactoring commits to allow for halfway decent unittests.

  Basic structure is included for specifying and checking the assumeutxo hash values used to validate activated snapshots. Initially I had specified a few height/hash pairs for mainnet in this change, but because of the security-critical nature of those parameters, I figured it was better to leave their inclusion to a future PR that includes only that change - my intent being that reviewers will be more likely to verify those parameters firsthand in a dedicated PR.

  Aside from that and the snapshot activation logic, there are a few related changes:

  - ~~allow caching the `nChainTx` value in the CCoinsViewDB; this is set during snapshot activation. Because we don't necessarily have access to the full chain at the time of snapshot load, this value is communicated through the snapshot metadata and must be cached within the chainstate to survive restarts.~~
  - break out `CreateUTXOSnapshot()` from dumptxoutset. This is essentially a move-only change to allow the reuse of snapshot creation logic from within unittests.
  - ...and a few other misc. changes that are solely related to unittests.

  The move-onlyish commit is most easily reviewed with `--color-moved=zebra`.

Merge #21096: Re-add dead code detection
3f8776a139 Re-add dead code detection (flack)

Pull request description:

  This re-adds unreachable code detection for Python based on `vulture`.

  Effectively, this reverts f4beb4996d. The difference to the previous version is that this runs with the `--min-confidence 100` setting. From https://pypi.org/project/vulture/:

  > Use `--min-confidence 100` to only report code that is guaranteed to be unused within the analyzed files.

  So this should avoid the previous issues where static analysis had wrong positives due to the dynamic nature of Python code by only reporting things that are unambiguous (such as code after a `return` statement). As such, there is not suppressions list.

  My motivation was mainly #21081 which would have been caught by this (as can be seen by the CI run failing). This is still marked as draft because #21081 is needed to get the linter to pass. Also, there is a second problem that this found (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19509/files#r571454691). From what I can tell, this is a spurious type comment that could just be removed (or if that line has no side effects it could also be deleted altogether?). I could add a commit here to fix it, but I wanted to see if there is interest in having this linter again in the first place

7097add83c refactor: replace Boost shared_mutex with std shared_mutex in sigcache (fanquake)
8e55981ef8 refactor: replace Boost shared_mutex with std shared_mutex in cuckoocache tests (fanquake)

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.

Merge #20223: build: Drop the leading 0 from the version number
8f7b930475 Drop the leading 0 from the version number (Andrew Chow)

Pull request description:

  Removes the leading 0 from the version number. The minor version, which we had been using as the major version, is now the major version. The revision, which we had been using as the minor version, is now the minor version. The revision number is dropped. The build number is promoted to being part of the version number. This also avoids issues where it was accidentally not included in the version number.

  The CLIENT_VERSION remains the same format as previous as previously, as the Major version was 0 so it never actually got included in it.

  The user agent string formatter is updated to follow this new versioning.

  ***

  Honestly I'm just tired of all of the people asking for "1.0" that maybe this'll shut them up. Skip the whole 1.0 thing and go straight to version 22.0!

  Also, this means that the terminology we commonly use lines up with how the variables are named. So major versions are actually bumping the major version number, etc.

  ### Future work

  > Here or follow up, makes sense to also assert type of returned UniValue?

  Sure, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. I am going to submit any further works as follow-ups, including:

  * Removing all python regex linters on the args, now that RPCMan can be used to generate any output, including the cli.cpp table
  * Auto-formatting and sanity checking the RPCExamples with RPCMan
  * Checking passed-in json in self-check. Removing redundant checks
  * Checking returned json against documentation to avoid regressions or false documentation
  * Compile the RPC documentation at compile-time to ensure it doesn't change at runtime and is completely static

  ### Bugs found

  * The assert identified issue #18607
  * The changes itself fixed bug #19250

Merge #19671: wallet: Remove -zapwallettxes
3340dbadd3 Remove -zapwallettxes (Andrew Chow)

Pull request description:

  It's not clear what use there is to keeping `-zapwallettxes` given that it's intended usage has been superseded by `abandontransaction`. So this removes it outright.

  Alternative to #19700

3340dbadd3 Remove -zapwallettxes
-zapwallettxes is made a hidden option to inform users that it is
removed and they should be using abandontransaction to do the stuck
transaction thing.

Merge #18817: doc: Document differences in bitcoind and bitcoin-qt locale handling
ca185cf5a1 doc: Document differences in bitcoind and bitcoin-qt locale handling (practicalswift)

Pull request description:

  Document differences in `bitcoind` and `bitcoin-qt` locale handling.

  Since this seems to be the root cause to the locale dependency issues we've seen over the years I thought it was worth documenting :)

  Note that 1.) `QLocale` (used by Qt), 2.) C locale (used by locale-sensitive C standard library functions/POSIX functions and some parts of the C++ standard library such as `std::to_string`) and 3.) C++ locale (used by the C++ input/output library) are three separate things. This comment is about the perhaps surprising interference with the C locale (2) that takes place as part of the Qt initialization.

Pull request description:

  Prerequisite for external signer support in #16546. Big picture overview in [this gist](https://gist.github.com/Sjors/29d06728c685e6182828c1ce9b74483d).

  This adds a new dependency [boost process](https://github.com/boostorg/process/tree/boost-1.64.0). This is part of Boost since 1.64 which is part of `depends`. Because the minimum Boost version is 1.47, this functionality is skipped for older versions of Boost.

  Use `./configure --with-boost-process` to opt in, which checks for the presence of Boost::Process.

  We add `UniValue runCommandParseJSON(const std::string& strCommand)` to `system.{h,cpp}` which calls an arbitrary command and processes the JSON returned by it. This is currently only called by the test suite.

  ~For testing purposes this adds a new regtest-only RPC method `runcommand`, as well as `test/mocks/command.py` used by functional tests.~ (this is no longer the case)
