Parent PR: #15606
Issue: #15605
Specification: https://github.com/jamesob/assumeutxo-docs/tree/2019-04-proposal/proposal
---
This change refactors the `chainActive` reference into a `::ChainActive()` call. It also distinguishes `CChainState`'s `CChain` data member as `m_chain` instead of the current `chainActive`, which makes it easily confused with the global data.
The active chain must be obtained via function because its reference will be swapped at some point during runtime after loading a UTXO snapshot.
This change, though lengthy, should be pretty easy to review since most of it is contained within a scripted-diff. Once merged, the parent PR should be easier to review.

Contains Designer UI files. They are created with Qt Creator, but can be edited using any text editor.
locale
Contains translations. They are periodically updated. The process is described here.
res
Resources such as the icon.
test
Tests.
bitcoingui.(h/cpp)
Represents the main window of the Bitcoin UI.
*model.(h/cpp)
The model. When it has a corresponding controller, it generally inherits from QAbstractTableModel. Models that are used by controllers as helpers inherit from other Qt classes like QValidator.
ClientModel is used by the main application bitcoingui and several models like peertablemodel.
*page.(h/cpp)
A controller. :NAMEpage.cpp generally includes :NAMEmodel.h and forms/:NAME.page.ui with a similar :NAME.
*dialog.(h/cpp)
Various dialogs, e.g. to open a URL. Inherit from QDialog.
paymentserver.(h/cpp)
Used to process BIP21 and BIP70 (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11622) payment URI / requests. Also handles URI based application switching (e.g. when following a bitcoin:... link from a browser).
walletview.(h/cpp)
Represents the view to a single wallet.
Other .h/cpp files
UI elements like BitcoinAmountField, which inherit from QWidget.
bitcoinstrings.cpp: automatically generated
bitcoinunits.(h/cpp): BTC / mBTC / etc handling
callback.h
guiconstants.h: UI colors, app name, etc
guiutil.h: several helper functions
macdockiconhandler.(h/mm): macOS dock icon handler
macnotificationhandler.(h/mm): display notifications in macOS

You can use Qt Creator as an IDE. This is especially useful if you want to change
the UI layout.
Download and install the community edition of Qt Creator.
Uncheck everything except Qt Creator during the installation process.
