Pull request description:
Remove `fees.h`, `errors.h`, and `spanparsing.h` from the util library. Specifically:
- Move `Split` functions from `util/spanparsing.h` to `util/string.h`, using `util` namespace for clarity.
- Move remaining spanparsing functions to `script/parsing.h` since they are used for descriptor and miniscript parsing.
- Combine `util/fees.h` and `util/errors.h` into `common/messages.h` so there is a place for simple functions that generate user messages to live, and these functions are not part of the util library.
Motivation for this change is that the util library is a dependency of the kernel, and we should remove functionality from util that shouldn't be called by kernel code or kernel applications. These changes should also improve code organization and make functions easier to discover. Some of these same moves are (or were) part of #28690, but did not help with code organization, or made it worse, so it is better to move them and clean them up in the same PR so code only has to change one time.

d5a631b959 validation: improve performance of CheckBlockIndex (Martin Zumsande)
32c80413fd bench: add benchmark for checkblockindex (Martin Zumsande)
Pull request description:
`CheckBlockIndex() ` are consistency checks that are currently enabled by default on regtest.
The function is rather slow, which is annoying if you
* attempt to run it on other networks, especially if not fully synced
* want to generate a long chain on regtest and see block generation slow down because you forgot to disable `-checkblockindex` or don't know it existed.
One reason why it's slow is that in order to be able to traverse the block tree depth-first from genesis, it inserts pointers to all block indices into a `std::multimap` - for which inserts and lookups become slow once there are hundred thousands of entries.
However, typically the block index is mostly chain-like with just a few forks so a multimap isn't really needed for the most part. This PR suggests to store the block indices of the chain ending in the best header in a vector instead, and store only the rest of the indices in a multimap. This does not change the actual consistency checks that are being performed for each index, just the way the block index tree is stored and traversed.
This adds a bit of complication to make sure each block is visited (note that there are asserts that check it), making sure that the two containers are traversed correctly, but it speeds up the function considerably:
On master, a single invocation of `CheckBlockIndex` takes ~1.4s on mainnet for me (4.9s on testnet which has >2.4 million blocks).
With this branch, the runtime goes down to ~0.27s (0.85s on testnet).This is a speedup by a factor ~5.

This is a just a mechanical change, renaming and inverting the meaning
of the indexing variable.
"m_blockfiles_indexed" is a more straightforward name for this variable
because this variable just indicates whether or not
<datadir>/blocks/blk?????.dat files have been indexed in the
<datadir>/blocks/index LevelDB database. The name "m_reindexing" was
more confusing, it could be true even if -reindex was not specified, and
false when it was specified. Also, the previous name unnecessarily
required thinking about the whole reindexing process just to understand
simple checks in validation code about whether blocks were indexed.
The motivation for this change is to follow up on previous commits,
moving away from having multiple variables called "reindex" internally,
and instead naming variables individually after what they do and
represent.
Before this change continuing a reindex without the -reindex flag set
would leave the block and coins db intact, but discard the data of the
optional indexes. While not a bug per se, wiping the data again is
wasteful, both in terms of having to write it again, and potentially
leading to longer startup times.
When initially running a reindex, both the block index and any further
activated indexes are wiped. On an index's Init(), both the best block
stored by the index and the chain's tip are null. An index's m_synced
member is therefore true. This means that it will process blocks through
validation events while the reindex is running.
Currently, if the reindex is continued without the user re-specifying
the reindex flag, the block index is preserved but further index data is
wiped. This leads to the stored best block being null, but the chain tip
existing. The m_synced member will be set to false. The index will not
process blocks through the validation interface, but instead use the
background sync once the reindex is completed.
If the index is preserved (this change) after a restart its best block
may potentially match the chain tip. The m_synced member will be set to
true and the index can process validation events during the rest of the
reindex.
Drop confusing kernel options:
BlockManagerOpts::reindex
ChainstateLoadOptions::reindex
ChainstateLoadOptions::reindex_chainstate
Replacing them with more straightforward options:
ChainstateLoadOptions::wipe_block_tree_db
ChainstateLoadOptions::wipe_chainstate_db
Having two options called "reindex" which did slightly different things
was needlessly confusing (one option wiped the block tree database, and
the other caused block files to be rescanned). Also the previous set of
options did not allow rebuilding the block database without also
rebuilding the chainstate database, when it should be possible to do
those independently.
Reverts a bug introduced in b47bd95920
"kernel: De-globalize fReindex". The change leads to a GUI user being
prompted to re-index on a chainstate loading failure more than once as
well as the node actually not reindexing if the user chooses to. Fix
this by setting the reindexing option instead of the atomic, which can
be safely re-used to indicate that a reindex should be attempted.
The bug specifically is caused by the chainman, and thus the blockman
and its m_reindexing atomic being destroyed on every iteration of
the for loop.
The reindex option for ChainstateLoadOptions is currently also set in a
confusing way. By using the reindex atomic, it is not obvious in which
scenario it is true or false.
The atomic is controlled by both the user passing the -reindex option,
the user chosing to reindex if something went wrong during chainstate
loading when running the gui, and by reading the reindexing flag from
the block tree database in LoadBlockIndexDB. In practice this read is
done through the chainstate module's CompleteChainstateInitialization's
call to LoadBlockIndex. Since this is only done after the reindex option
is set already, it does not have an effect on it.
Make this clear by using the reindex option from the blockman opts which
is only controlled by the user.
There are no changes to behavior. Changes in this commit are all additions, and
are easiest to review using "git diff -U0 --word-diff-regex=." options.
Motivation for this change is to keep util functions with really generic names
like "Split" and "Join" out of the global namespace so it is easier to see
where these functions are defined, and so they don't interfere with function
overloading, especially since the util library is a dependency of the kernel
library and intended to be used with external code.
Move enum and message formatting functions to a common/messages header where
they should be more discoverable, and also out of the util library, so they
will not be a dependency of the kernel
The are no changes in behavior and no changes to the moved code.
fReindex is one of the last remaining globals exposed by the kernel
library, so move it into the blockstorage class to reduce the amount of
global mutable state and make the kernel library a bit less awkward to
use.
d4b17c7d46 kernel: Remove batchpriority from kernel library (TheCharlatan)
Pull request description:
The current usage of ScheduleBatchPriority is not transparent. Once the thread scheduling is changed, it remains unchanged for the remainder of the thread's lifetime. So move the call from `ImportBlocks` to the init code where it is clearer that its effect lasts for the entire lifetime of the thread.
Users of the kernel library might not expect `ImportBlocks` to have an influence on the thread it is called in. Particularly since it is only a compile time option and cannot be controlled at runtime. With this patch users of the kernel library can now freely choose their own scheduling policy.

dddd40ba82 scripted-diff: Add IWYU pragma keep to bitcoin-config.h includes (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
The `bitcoin-config.h` includes have issues:
* The header is incompatible with iwyu, because symbols may be defined or not defined. So the `IWYU pragma: keep` is needed to keep the include when a symbol is not defined on a platform. Compare the previous discussion in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29408#issuecomment-1948959711
* Guarding the includes by `HAVE_CONFIG_H` is verbose and brittle. Now that all build config dependencies have been removed from low level headers, the benefits are questionable, and the guard can be removed. The linter could also be tricked by guarding the include by `#if defined(HAVE_C0NFIG_H)` (`O` replaced by `0`).

Pull request description:
[An earlier approach](1d226ae1f9/) in #28956 involved simplifying and refactoring the network-adjusted time calculation logic, but this was eventually [left out](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28956#issuecomment-1904214370) of the PR to make it easier for reviewers to focus on consensus logic changes.
Since network-adjusted time is now only used for warning/informational purposes, cleaning up the logic (building on @dergoegge's approach in #28956) should be quite straightforward and uncontroversial. The main changes are:
- Previously, we would only calculate the time offset from the first 199 outbound peers that we connected to. This limitation is now removed, and we have a proper rolling calculation. I've reduced the set to 50 outbound peers, which seems plenty.
- Previously, we would automatically use the network-adjusted time if the difference was < 70 mins, and warn the user if the difference was larger than that. Since there is no longer any automated time adjustment, I've changed the warning threshold to ~~20~~ 10 minutes (which is an arbitrary number).
- Previously, a warning would only be raised once, and then never again until node restart. This behaviour is now updated to 1) warn to log for every new outbound peer for as long as we appear out of sync, 2) have the RPC warning toggled on/off whenever we go in/out of sync, and 3) have the GUI warn whenever we are out of sync (again), but limited to 1 messagebox per 60 minutes
- no more globals
- remove the `-maxtimeadjustment` startup arg

`util::Result` objects are aggregates that can hold multiple fields with
different information. Currently Result objects can only hold a success value
of an arbitrary type or a single bilingual_str error message. In followup PR
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25722, Result objects may be able to
hold both success and failure values of different types, plus error and warning
messages.
Having a Result::operator= assignment operator that completely erases all
existing Result information before assigning new information is potentially
dangerous in this case. For example, code that looks like it is assigning a
warning value could erase previously-assigned success or failure values.
Conversely, code that looks like it is just assigning a success or failure
value could erase previously assigned error and warning messages.
To prevent potential bugs like this, disable Result::operator= assignment
operator.
It is possible in the future we may want to re-enable operator= in limited
cases (such as when implicit conversions are not used) or add a Replace() or
Reset() method that mimicks default operator= behavior. Followup PR
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25722 also adds a Result::Update()
method providing another way to update an existing Result object.

The extra `bilingual_str` argument of the fatal error notifications and
`node::AbortNode()` is often unused and when used usually contains the
same string as the message argument. It also seems to be confusing,
since it is not consistently used for errors requiring user action. For
example some assumeutxo fatal errors require the user to do something,
but are not translated.
So simplify the fatal error and abort node interfaces by only passing a
translated string. This slightly changes the fatal errors displayed to
the user.
Also de-duplicate the abort error log since it is repeated in noui.cpp.

Pull request description:
Work decoupled from #26966 per request.
The aim is to remove an unnecessary disk read operation that currently takes place with every new arriving block (or scanned block during background sync). Instead of reading the last filter header from disk merely to access its hash for constructing the next filter, this work caches it, occupying just 32 more bytes in memory.
Also, reduces `cs_main` lock contention during the index initial sync process. And, simplifies the indexes initialization and shutdown procedure.
Testing Note:
To compare the changes, added a pretty basic benchmark in the second commit. Alternatively, could also test the changes by timing the block filter sync from scratch on any network; start the node with `-blockfilterindex` and monitor the logs until the syncing process finish.

Pull request description:
Closes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/27252
UNIX domain sockets are a mechanism for inter-process communication that are faster than local TCP ports (because there is no need for TCP overhead) and potentially more secure because access is managed by the filesystem instead of serving an open port on the system.
There has been work on [unix domain sockets before](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9979) but for now I just wanted to start on this single use-case which is enabling unix sockets from the client side, specifically connecting to a local Tor proxy (Tor can listen on unix sockets and even enforces strict curent-user-only access permission before binding) configured by `-onion=` or `-proxy=`
I copied the prefix `unix:` usage from Tor. With this patch built locally you can test with your own filesystem path (example):
`tor --SocksPort unix:/Users/matthewzipkin/torsocket/x`
`bitcoind -proxy=unix:/Users/matthewzipkin/torsocket/x`
Prep work for this feature includes:
- Moving where and how we create `sockaddr` and `Sock` to accommodate `AF_UNIX` without disturbing `CService`
- Expanding `Proxy` class to represent either a `CService` or a UNIX socket (by its file path)
Future work:
- Enable UNIX sockets for ZMQ (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27679)
- Enable UNIX sockets for I2P SAM proxy (some code is included in this PR but not tested or exposed to user options yet)
- Enable UNIX sockets on windows where supported
- Update Network Proxies dialog in GUI to support UNIX sockets

Pull request description:
For the `getblock` endpoint with `verbosity=0`, the `rest_block` REST endpoint for `bin` and `hex`, and zmq `NotifyBlock` we don't have to deserialize the block since we're just sending the raw data. This PR uses `ReadRawBlockFromDisk` instead of `ReadBlockFromDisk` to serve these requests, and only deserializes for `verbosity > 0` and `json` REST requests.

Pull request description:
Revives #17167. It allows whitelisting manual connections. Fixes #9923
Since there are some PRs/issues around this topic, I'll list some motivations/comments for whitelisting outbound connections from them:
- Speed-up tx relay/mempool sync for testing purposes (my personal motivation for this) - In #26970, theStack pointed out that we whitelist peers to speed up tx relay for fast mempool synchronization, however, since it applies only for inbound connections and considering the topology `node0 <--- node1 <---- node2 <--- ... <-- nodeN`, if a tx is submitted from any node other than node0, the mempool synchronization can take quite long.
- https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29058#issuecomment-1865155764 - "Before enabling -v2transport by default (which I'd image may happen after https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/24748) we could consider a way to force manual connections to be only-v1 or even only-v2 (disabling reconnect-with-v1). A possibility could be through a net permission flag, if https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27114 makes it in."
- https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17167#issuecomment-1168606032 - "This would allow us to use https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25355 when making outgoing connections to all nodes, except to whitelisted ones for which we would use our persistent I2P address."
- Force-relay/mempool permissions for a node you intentionally connected to.

Pull request description:
An address is placed in a `[bucket,position]` in the addrman table (new table or tried table) using the `addpeeraddress` RPC. This `[bucket,position]` is calculated using `nKey`(and other metrics) for the addrman which is chosen randomly during every run.
Supposing there are 2 addresses to be placed in an addrman table. During every test run, a different `[bucket,position]` would be calculated for each address.These calculated `[bucket,position]` could even be the same for the 2 addresses in some test runs and result in collisions in the addrman. We wouldn't be able to predict when the collisions are going to happen because we can't predict the `nKey` value which is chosen at random. This can cause flaky tests.
Because of these non deterministic collisions, we are limited in what we can do to test addrman functionality. Currently in our tests don't add a second address to prevent these collisions from happening - we only keep 1 address in the new table and 1 address in the tried table. See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26988#discussion_r1091145647, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/23084, [#22831(comment)](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22831/files#r708302639).
This PR lets us create a deterministic addrman with fixed `nKey` so that we can know the `[bucket,position]` collisions beforehand, safely add more addresses in an addrman table and write more extensive tests.

By defining a virtual interface class for the scheduler client, users of
the kernel can now define their own event consuming infrastructure,
without having to spawn threads or rely on the scheduler design.
Removing CScheduler also allows removing the thread and
exception modules from the kernel library.
This is done in preparation for the next two commits, where the
CMainSignals are de-globalized.
This avoids adding new constructor arguments to the ChainstateManager
and CTxMemPool classes over the next two commits.
This could also allow future tests that are only interested in the
internal behaviour of the classes to forgo instantiating the signals.
ff9039f6ea Remove GetAdjustedTime (dergoegge)
Pull request description:
This picks up parts of #25908.
The use of adjusted time is removed from validation code while the warning to users if their clock is out of sync with the rest of the network remains.

97df4e3887 net: store best block tip time inside PeerManager (furszy)
Pull request description:
Derived from #28120 discussion.
By relocating the peer desirable services flags into the peer manager, we
allow the connections acceptance process to handle post-IBD potential
stalling scenarios.
The peer manager will be able to dynamically adjust the services flags
based on the node's proximity to the tip (back and forth). Allowing the node
to recover from the following post-IBD scenario:
Suppose the node has successfully synced the chain, but later experienced
dropped connections and remained inactive for a duration longer than the limited
peers threshold (the timeframe within which limited peers can provide blocks). In
such cases, upon reconnecting to the network, the node might only establish
connections with limited peers, filling up all available outbound slots. Resulting
in an inability to synchronize the chain (because limited peers will not provide
blocks older than the `NODE_NETWORK_LIMITED_MIN_BLOCKS` threshold).

And implement 'ApproximateBestBlockDepth()' to estimate
the distance, in blocks, between the best-known block
and the network chain tip. Utilizing the best-block time
and the chainparams blocks spacing to approximate it.
