The rpc command verifychain now fails if the dbcache was not sufficient
to complete the verification at the specified level and depth.
In the same situation, the VerifyDB check during Init will now fail (and lead to
an early shutdown) if the user has explicitly specified -checkblocks or
-checklevel but the check couldn't be executed because of the limited
cache. If the user didn't change any of the two and is using the defaults, log a warning
but don't prevent the node from starting up.
This does not change behavior. It is in preparation for
special handling of the case where VerifyDB doesn't finish
for various reasons, but doesn't fail.

fa9f6d7bcd rpc: Run type check against RPCArgs (MarcoFalke)
faf96721a6 test: Fix wrong types passed to RPCs (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
It seems brittle to require `RPCTypeCheck` being called inside the code logic. Without compile-time enforcement this will lead to places where it is forgotten and thus to inconsistencies and bugs. Fix this by removing the calls to `RPCTypeCheck` and doing the check internally.
The changes should be reviewed as refactoring changes. However, if they change behavior, it will be a bugfix. For example the changes here happen to also detect/fix bugs like the one fixed in commit 3b5fb6e77a.

f39d9269eb rpc: warn that nodes ignore requests for old stale blocks (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
Adds warning to RPC help that `getblockfrompeer` is of little use for stale blocks that are more than a month old.
This is an anti-fingerprinting measure. See `BlockRequestAllowed` in `net_processing`.
It's been in Bitcoin Core since 2014, introduced in #2910 and later improved to not rely on checkpoints.
Older and alternative clients might still serve these blocks, so not throwing an error.
Allowing whitelisted nodes to fetch these blocks anyway might be nice.

5826bf546e test: Add test for getblockfrompeer on syncing pruned nodes (Fabian Jahr)
7fa851fba8 rpc: Pruned nodes can not fetch unsynced blocks (Fabian Jahr)
Pull request description:
This PR prevents `getblockfrompeer` from getting used on blocks that the node has not synced past yet if the node is in running in prune mode.
### Problem
While a node is still catching up to the tip that it is aware of via the headers, the user can currently use to fetch blocks close to or at the tip. These blocks are stored in the block/rev file that otherwise contains blocks the node is receiving as part of the syncing process.
This creates a problem for pruned nodes: The files containing a fetched block are not pruned during syncing because they contain a block close to the tip. This means the entire file (~130MB) will not be pruned until the tip has moved on far enough from the fetched block. In extreme cases with heavy pruning (like 550) and multiple blocks being fetched this could mean that the disc usage far exceeds what the user expects, potentially running out of space.
### Approach
There would be certainly other approaches that could fix the problem while still allowing the current behavior, but all of the ideas I came up with seemed like overkill for a niche problem on a new RPC where it's still unclear how and how much it will be used.
### Testing
So far I did not see a simple enough way to test this I am still looking into it and if it's complex will potentially add it in a follow-up. What would be needed is a way to have a node fetch headers but not sync the blocks yet, that seems like a pattern that could be generally useful.
To manually reproduce the problematic behavior:
1. Start a node with current `master` with `-prune=550` and an empty/new datadir, Testnet and Mainnet should both work.
2. While the node is syncing run `getblockfrompeer` on the current tip and a few other recent blocks.
3. Go to your datadir and observe the blocks folder: There should be a few full `blk*.dat` and `rev*.dat` files that are not being pruned. When you "pinned" a few of these files the blocks folder should be significantly above the target size of 550MB.

Pull request description:
#23508 added a new RPC named `getdeploymentinfo`, it moved the softfork section from `getblockchaininfo` into this new one. In the REST interface, we have an endpoint named`/rest/chaininfo.json` (which refers to `getblockchaininfo`), so, this PR adds a new REST endpoint named `/deploymentinfo` which refers to `getdeploymentinfo`.
You can use it by passing a block hash, e.g: '/rest/deploymentinfo/<BLOCKHASH>.json' or you can use it without passing a block hash to get the 'deploymentinfo' for the last block.

### Original PR description
> The `scanblocks` RPC call allows one to get relevant blockhashes from a set of descriptors by scanning all blockfilters in a given range.
>
> **Example:**
>
> `scanblocks start '["addr(<bitcoin_address>)"]' 661000` (returns relevant blockhashes for `<bitcoin_address>` from blockrange 661000->tip)
>
> ## Why is this useful?
> **Fast wallet rescans**: get the relevant blocks and only rescan those via `rescanblockchain getblockheader(<hash>)[height] getblockheader(<hash>)[height])`. A future PR may add an option to allow to provide an array of blockhashes to `rescanblockchain`.
>
> **prune wallet rescans**: (_needs additional changes_): together with a call to fetch blocks from the p2p network if they have been pruned, it would allow to rescan wallets back to the genesis block in pruned mode (relevant #15946).
>
> **SPV mode** (_needs additional changes_): it would be possible to build the blockfilterindex from the p2p network (rather then deriving them from the blocks) and thus allow some sort of hybrid-SPV mode with moderate bandwidth consumption (related #9483)

00eeb31c76 scripted-diff: rename CChainState -> Chainstate (James O'Beirne)
Pull request description:
Alright alright alright, I know: we hate refactors. We especially hate cosmetic refactors.
Nobody knows better than I that changing broad swaths of code out from under our already-abused collaborators, only to send a cascade of rebase bankruptcies, is annoying at best and sadistic at worst. And for a rename! The indignation!
But just for a second, imagine yourself. Programming `bitcoin/bitcoin`, on a sandy beach beneath a lapis lazuli sky. You go to type the name of what is probably the most commonly used data structure in the codebase, and you *only hit shift once*.
What could you do in such a world? You could do anything. [The only limit is yourself.](https://zombo.com/)

So maybe you like the idea of this patch but really don't want to deal with rebasing. You're in luck!
Here're the commands that will bail you out of rebase bankruptcy:
```sh
git rebase -i $(git merge-base HEAD master) \
-x 'sed -i "s/CChainState/Chainstate/g" $(git ls-files | grep -E ".*\.(py|cpp|h)$") && git commit --amend --no-edit'
# <commit changed?>
git add -u && git rebase --continue
```

This was done in the context of https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25284 , but I think it also makes sense standalone.

27c8056885 rpc: Disallow gettxoutsetinfo queries for a specific block with use_index=false (Martin Zumsande)
Pull request description:
In the `gettxoutsetinfo` RPC, if we set `use_index` to false but specify `hash_or_height`, we currently hit a nonfatal error, e.g. `gettxoutsetinfo "muhash" "1" "false"` results in:
```
Internal bug detected: "!pindex || pindex->GetBlockHash() == view->GetBestBlock()"
rpc/blockchain.cpp:836 (GetUTXOStats)
```
The failing check was added in [#24410](664a14ba7c), but the previous behavior, returning the specified height together with data corresponding to the tip's height, was very confusing too in my opinion.
Fix this by disallowing the interaction of `use_index=false` and `hash_or_height` and add a RPC help example with `-named` because users might ask themselves how to use the `use_index` flag witout hitting an error.
An alternative way would be to allow the interaction if the specified `hash_or_height` happens to correspond to the tip (which should then also be applied to the `HASH_SERIALIZED` check before). If reviewers would prefer that, please say so.
