This patch improves performance and resource usage around IP
addresses that are banned for misbehavior. They're already not
actually banned, as connections from them are still allowed,
but they are preferred for eviction if the inbound connection
slots are full.
Stop treating these like manually banned IP ranges, and instead
just keep them in a rolling Bloom filter of misbehaving nodes,
which isn't persisted to disk or exposed through the ban
framework. The effect remains the same: preferred for eviction,
avoided for outgoing connections, and not relayed to other peers.
Also change the name of this mechanism to better reflect reality;
they're not banned, just discouraged.
Contains release notes and several interface improvements by
John Newbery.

Transaction relay is primarily optimized for balancing redundancy/robustness
with bandwidth minimization -- as a result transaction relay leaks information
that adversaries can use to infer the network topology.
Network topology is better kept private for (at least) two reasons:
(a) Knowledge of the network graph can make it easier to find the source IP of
a given transaction.
(b) Knowledge of the network graph could be used to split a target node or
nodes from the honest network (eg by knowing which peers to attack in order to
achieve a network split).
We can eliminate the risks of (b) by separating block relay from transaction
relay; inferring network connectivity from the relay of blocks/block headers is
much more expensive for an adversary.
After this commit, bitcoind will make 2 additional outbound connections that
are only used for block relay. (In the future, we might consider rotating our
transaction-relay peers to help limit the effects of (a).)
Moves all of the various SigningProviders out of sign.{cpp,h} and
keystore.{cpp,h}. As such, keystore.{cpp,h} is also removed.
Includes and the Makefile are updated to reflect this. Includes were largely
changed using:
git grep -l "keystore.h" | xargs sed -i -e 's;keystore.h;script/signingprovider.h;g'
78e407ad0c GetKeyBirthTimes should return key ids, not destinations (Gregory Sanders)
70946e7fee Replace CScriptID and CKeyID in CTxDestination with dedicated types (Gregory Sanders)
Pull request description:
The current usage seems to be an overloading of meanings. `CScriptID` is used in the wallet as a lookup key, as well as a destination, and `CKeyID` likewise. Instead, have all destinations be dedicated types.
New types:
`CScriptID`->`ScriptHash`
`CKeyID`->`PKHash`

Though at the moment ChainActive() simply references `g_chainstate.m_chain`,
doing this change now clears the way for multiple chainstate usage and allows
us to script the diff.

1d4df02b7e [move-only] Move things only referenced in net_processing out of header file (Jesse Cohen)
02bbc05310 Rescope g_enable_bip61 to net_processing (Jesse Cohen)
Pull request description:
As part of a larger effort to decouple net_processing and validation a bit, these are a bunch of simple scope cleanups. I've moved things out of the header file that are only referenced in net_processing and added static (or anonymous namespace) modifiers to everything possible in net_processing.
There are a handful of functions which could be static except that they are exposed for the sake of unit testing - these are explicitly commented. There has been some discussion of a compile time annotation, but no conclusion has been reached on that yet.
This is somewhat related to other prs #12934#13413#13407 and will be followed by prs that reduce reliance on cs_main to synchronize data structures which are translation unit local to net_processing
