bd5c826a96 gui: add RPC setting (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
RPC access is disabled by default for the GUI.
With the proliferation of third party desktop applications that use the Bitcoin Core RPC (e.g. Specter Desktop, Sparrow and Wasabi), this PR makes them slight easier to configure. It's no longer required to find and edit `bitcoin.conf` to add `server=1` to it.

For a couple of years, Tor documentation has made
the term hidden service obsolete, in favor of onion
service.
This PR updates all the references in the code base.
There was an issue around the time of Qt 4.6 when placeholder text was
introduced, that caused a compile failure when it was specified in the
form.
As a workaround the placeholder texts were moved to the code.
Qt 4 hasn't been relevant to us for ages. So move all (non-parametrized)
placeholder texts to the form files instead.
It's better to keep this kind of text content together. Makes sure
translate/no-translate status is kept as it is.
All dbcache-related values in the code are measured in MiB (not in
megabytes, MB) or in bytes.
The GUI "-prune" values in GB are translated to the node values in MiB
correctly. The maximum of the "-prune" QSpinBox is not limited by the
default value of 99 (GB).
Also, this improves log readability.
A few "a->an" and "an->a".
"Shows, if the supplied default SOCKS5 proxy" -> "Shows if the supplied default SOCKS5 proxy". Change made on 3 occurrences.
"without fully understanding the ramification of a command" -> "without fully understanding the ramifications of a command".
Removed duplicate words such as "the the".
My changes leave all tray icon and menu creation/initialization logic
untouched. It only shows or hides the icon according to the setting.
A new checkbox was added to the OptionsDialog under the Window tab. A
bool option named "hideTrayIcon" was added to OptionsModel. This
checkbox was mapped like other all options to the OptionsModel.
A signal was added to the OptionsModel for broadcasting changes the the
hideTrayIcon option. This signal was connected to a new slot added to
BitcoinGUI named setTrayIconVisible(bool). The slot simply hides or
shows the trayIcon in BitcoinGUI according to the parameter recieved.
- also fixes indentation in one file (auto fixed by Qt Designer)
- removes several default parameters, which are not needed in the files
- related to #4840 (but not intended as fix for a no-bug)
- add DEFAULT_LISTEN in net.h and use in the code (shared
setting between core and GUI)
Important: This makes it obvious, that we need to re-think the
settings/options handling, as GUI settings are processed before
any parameter-interaction (which is mostly important for network
stuff) in AppInit2()!
- introduce DEFAULT_SCRIPTCHECK_THREADS in main.h
- only show values from -"MAX_HW_THREADS" up to 16 for -par, as it
makes no sense to try to leave more "cores free" than the system
supports anyway
- use the new constant in optionsdialog and remove defaults from
.ui file
- add new options for database cache and script verification threads
- add label which displays options that are overridden by command-line
parameters
- proxy settings are not applied on-the-fly anymore and require a client
restart (ApplyProxySettings() was removed and was not working very well
anyway)
- re-work options reset and require a client shutdown (as it is much
easier to do it this way without having to mess with what can be changed
on-the-fly and what needs a restart anyway)
- options reset now writes default values for every single option
- when changing an option which requires a client restart display a 10
second warning message in statusLabel (via a QTimer)
- when applying the changes via ok change that to a persistent message,
which is displayed even after closing optionsdialog and re-open it, when
no client restart was made
- remove dialog boxes used when changing language or proxy settings
- add setRestartRequired() and isRestartRequired() to OptionsModel and
use the set function when updating options to signal OptionsDialog
when a restart is needed
- resize optionsdialog a little and add some min sizes for certain GUI
elements
- remove apply button from optionsdialog
- save and restore optionsdialog window position
- update nTransactionFee in QSettings with a set -paytxfee value when
opening optionsdialog (I'm not sure about this yet, perhaps revert to
not updating QSettings and just display current -paytxfee value in
optionsdialog.)
- add missing license headers
- make compatible with Qt5
- enforce header cleanup style
- small code style cleanups
- rename Coin Control dialog into Coin Control Address Selection
- use default font for the windows labels (no monospace)
- rename URL into URI in paymentserver where correct
- add some missing Qt-coding-stuff in paymentserver
- change QSpinBox to QLineEdit as base for BitcoinAmountField in .ui files
(as this is the result when converting the BAF back into base)
- remove some c_str() and replace with QString::fromStdString()
- remove several new-lines
- remove unneeded spaces
- indentation fixes
This value gets stale really quickly, do not hardcode it into a message.
Completely remove it for now.
Later on, a mechanism will be added to determine fees based on the mempool.
Closes #2576
- a click on "Reset Options" sets all options to the default values by
removing all stored settings (QSettings), loading the defaults and
saving them as the new settings
- before the reset is executed the user is presented a confirmation dialog
- special casing was needed for StartAtStartup
