Add WalletClient interface so node interface is cleaner and don't need
wallet-specific methods.
The new NodeContext::wallet_client pointer will also be needed to eliminate
global wallet variables like ::vpwallets, because createWallet(), loadWallet(),
getWallets(), etc methods called by the GUI need a way to get a reference to
the list of open wallets if it is no longer a global variable.
Also tweaks splash screen registration for load wallet events to be delayed
until after wallet client is created.
This is needed to allow bitcoin-gui to connect to existing node process with
-ipcconnect instead of spawning a new process. It's possible to spawn a new
bitcoin-node process without knowing the current data dir or network, but
connecting to an existing bitcoin-node requires knowing the datadir and network
first.
No change in behavior. Replacing references with pointers allows Node interface
creation to be delayed until later during gui startup next commit to support
implementing -ipcconnect option
Instead of passing a StartShutdown reference all the way up from
txdb, give ShowProgress a "resumeable" boolean, which is used to
inform the user if the action will be resumed, but cancel is always
allowed by just calling StartShutdown().

QT_NO_KEYWORDS prevents Qt from defining the `foreach`, `signals`,
`slots` and `emit` macros.
Avoid overlap between Qt macros and boost - for example #undef hackiness
in #6421.
Mainly cleanups: Gets rid of isTestNet everywhere, by keeping track
of network-specific theming in a central place.
Also makes GUI no longer dependent on the network ID enumeration, which
alleviates concerns about #4802.
It's strange to be able to close these windows while there is work
in progress.
Also set Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose on both windows to make sure that they
are deleted eventually, no matter what happens.
contrib/devtools/fix-copyright-headers.py script to be able to perform this maintenance task with ease during the rest of the year, every year. Modifications to contrib/devtools/README.md to document what fix-copyright-headers.py does.
Remove the need for global references `guiref` and
`splashref` by making the BitcoinGUI and SplashScreen
classes register for the UI interface signals themselves.
why:
- the current splash-screen has no referring to official images on - https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Promotional_graphics
- the current splash screen only exists in a low res jpg
- current splash screen looks dark and "hackish"
- new splash screen should generate positive, "trust-emotions".
- new splash screen gives the user infos about the running client.
- new splash screen can handle long messages (in a lot of - languages the text is cropped in current release)
- new size (x2) 400x312
- contains textual information about the client
- textinfos are dynamicly written to the pixmap
when -testnet is switch on, the splashscreen will show the bitcoin logo in testnet-color (as well as a text [testnet])
