As UniValue provides several constructors for integral types, the
compiler is unable to select one if the passed type does not exactly
match. This is unintuitive for developers and forces them to write
verbose and brittle code.
For example, there are many places where an unsigned int is cast to a
signed int. While the cast is safe in practice, it is still needlessly
verbose and confusing as the value can never be negative. In fact it
might even be unsafe if the unsigned value is large enough to map to a
negative signed one.
e71c51b27d refactor: rename command -> message type in comments in the src/net* files (Shashwat)
2b09593bdd scripted-diff: Rename message command to message type (Shashwat)
Pull request description:
This PR is a follow-up to #24078.
> a message is not a command, but simply a message of some type
The first commit covers the message_command variable name and comments not addressed in the original PR in `src/net*` files.
The second commit goes beyond the original `src/net*` limit of #24078 and does similar changes in the `src/rpc/net.cpp` file.

e53a8505db net: respect -onlynet= when making outbound connections (Vasil Dimov)
Pull request description:
Do not make outbound connections to hosts which belong to a network
which is restricted by `-onlynet`.
This applies to hosts that are automatically chosen to connect to and to
anchors.
This does not apply to hosts given to `-connect`, `-addnode`,
`addnode` RPC, dns seeds, `-seednode`.

eaf6be0114 [net processing] Do not request transaction relay from feeler connections (John Newbery)
0220b834b1 [test] Add testing for outbound feeler connections (John Newbery)
Pull request description:
Feelers are short-lived connections used to test the viability of peers. The bitcoind node will periodically open feeler connections to addresses in its addrman, wait for a `version` message from the peer, and then close the connection.
Currently, we set `fRelay` to `1` in the `version` message for feeler connections, indicating that we want the peer to relay transactions to us. However, we close the connection immediately on receipt of the `version` message, and so never process any incoming transaction announcements. This PR changes that behaviour to instead set `fRelay` to `0` indicating that we do not wish to receive transaction announcements from the peer.
This PR also extends the `addconnection` RPC to allow creating outbound feeler connections from the node to the test framework, and a test to verify that the node sets `fRelay` to `0` in the `version` message to feeler connections.

dce8c4c381 rpc: getblockfrompeer (Sjors Provoost)
b884ababc2 rpc: move Ensure* helpers to server_util.h (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
This adds an RPC method to fetch a block directly from a peer. This can used to fetch stale blocks with lower proof of work that are normally ignored by the node (`headers-only` in `getchaintips`).
Usage:
```
bitcoin-cli getblockfrompeer HASH peer_n
```
Closes #20155
Limitations:
* you have to specify which peer to fetch the block from
* the node must already have the header

b6c5d1e450 p2p: AddrFetch - don't disconnect on self-announcements (Martin Zumsande)
Pull request description:
AddrFetch connections (old name: oneshots) are intended to be short-lived connections on which we ask a peer for addresses via `getaddr` and disconnect after receiving them.
This is done by disconnecting after receiving the first `addr`. However, it is no longer working as intended, because nowadays, the first `addr` a typical bitcoin core node sends is its self-announcement.
So we'll disconnect before the peer gets a chance to answer our `getaddr`.
I checked that this affects both `-seednode` peers specified manually, and DNS seeds when AddrFetch is used as a fallback if DNS doesn't work for us.
The current behavior of getting peers via AddrFetch when starting with an empty addrman would be to connect to the peer, receive its self-announcement and add it to addrman, disconnect, reconnect to the same peer again as a full outbound (no other addresses in addrman) and then receive more `addr`. This is silly and not in line with AddrFetch peer being intended to be short-lived peers.
Fix this by only disconnecting after receiving an `addr` message of size > 1.
[Edit] As per review discussion, this PR now also adds a timeout after which we disconnect if we haven't received any suitable `addr`, and a functional test.

Pull request description:
Since #9319 proposed by Gregory Maxwell and released in v0.14, peers manually added through the `-addnode` config option or using the `addnode` RPC have their own separate limit of 8 connections that does not compete with other inbound or outbound connection usage and is not subject to the limitation imposed by the `-maxconnections` option.
This PR updates the `-addnode` and `-maxconnections` config options and the `addnode` RPC help docs with this information.
`-addnode` config option help
```
$ bitcoind -h | grep -A5 addnode=
-addnode=<ip>
Add a node to connect to and attempt to keep the connection open (see
the addnode RPC help for more info). This option can be specified
multiple times to add multiple nodes; connections are limited to
8 at a time and are counted separately from the -maxconnections
limit.
$ bitcoind -h | grep -A3 maxconnections=
-maxconnections=<n>
Maintain at most <n> connections to peers (default: 125). This limit
does not apply to connections manually added via -addnode or the
addnode RPC, which have a separate limit of 8.
```
`addnode` rpc help
```
$ bitcoin-cli help addnode
addnode "node" "command"
Attempts to add or remove a node from the addnode list.
Or try a connection to a node once.
Nodes added using addnode (or -connect) are protected from DoS disconnection and are not required to be
full nodes/support SegWit as other outbound peers are (though such peers will not be synced from).
Addnode connections are limited to 8 at a time and are counted separately from the -maxconnections limit.
