Pull request description:

  Add common InitConfig function to deduplicate bitcoind and bitcoin-qt code reading config files and creating the datadir.

  Noticed the duplicate code while reviewing #27073 and want to remove it because difference in bitcoin-qt and bitcoind behavior make it hard to evaluate changes like #27073

  There are a few minor changes in behavior:

  - In bitcoin-qt, when there is a problem reading the configuration file, the GUI error text has changed from "Error: Cannot parse configuration file:" to "Error reading configuration file:" to be consistent with bitcoind.
  - In bitcoind, when there is a problem reading the settings.json file, the error text has changed from "Failed loading settings file" to "Settings file could not be read" to be consistent with bitcoin-qt.
  - In bitcoind, when there is a problem writing the settings.json file, the error text has changed from "Failed saving settings file" to "Settings file could not be written" to be consistent with bitcoin-qt.
  - In bitcoin-qt, if there datadir is not accessible (e.g. no permission to read), there is an normal error dialog showing "Error: filesystem error: status: Permission denied [.../settings.json]", instead of an uncaught exception.

CI Scripts

This directory contains scripts for each build step in each build stage.

Running a Stage Locally

Be aware that the tests will be built and run in-place, so please run at your own risk. If the repository is not a fresh git clone, you might have to clean files from previous builds or test runs first.

The ci needs to perform various sysadmin tasks such as installing packages or writing to the user's home directory. While it should be fine to run the ci system locally on you development box, the ci scripts can generally be assumed to have received less review and testing compared to other parts of the codebase. If you want to keep the work tree clean, you might want to run the ci system in a virtual machine with a Linux operating system of your choice.

To allow for a wide range of tested environments, but also ensure reproducibility to some extent, the test stage requires docker to be installed. To install all requirements on Ubuntu, run

sudo apt install docker.io bash

To run the default test stage,

./ci/test_run_all.sh

To run the test stage with a specific configuration,

FILE_ENV="./ci/test/00_setup_env_arm.sh" ./ci/test_run_all.sh

Configurations

The test files (FILE_ENV) are constructed to test a wide range of configurations, rather than a single pass/fail. This helps to catch build failures and logic errors that present on platforms other than the ones the author has tested.

Some builders use the dependency-generator in ./depends, rather than using the system package manager to install build dependencies. This guarantees that the tester is using the same versions as the release builds, which also use ./depends.

If no FILE_ENV has been specified or values are left out, 00_setup_env.sh is used as the default configuration with fallback values.

It is also possible to force a specific configuration without modifying the file. For example,

MAKEJOBS="-j1" FILE_ENV="./ci/test/00_setup_env_arm.sh" ./ci/test_run_all.sh

The files starting with 0n (n greater than 0) are the scripts that are run in order.

Cache

In order to avoid rebuilding all dependencies for each build, the binaries are cached and re-used when possible. Changes in the dependency-generator will trigger cache-invalidation and rebuilds as necessary.
