Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#24021: Rename and move PoissonNextSend functions
9b8dcb25b5 [net processing] Rename PoissonNextSendInbound to NextInvToInbounds (John Newbery)
ea99f5d01e [net processing] Move PoissonNextSendInbound to PeerManager (John Newbery)
bb060746df scripted-diff: replace PoissonNextSend with GetExponentialRand (John Newbery)
03cfa1b603 [refactor] Use uint64_t and std namespace in PoissonNextSend (John Newbery)
9e64d69bf7 [move] Move PoissonNextSend to src/random and update comment (John Newbery)

Pull request description:

  `PoissonNextSend` and `PoissonNextSendInbound` are used in the p2p code to obfuscate various regularly occurring processes, in order to make it harder for others to get timing-based information deterministically.

  The naming of these functions has been confusing to several people (including myself, see also #23347) because the resulting random timestamps don't follow a Poisson distribution but an exponential distribution (related to events in a Poisson process, hence the name). This PR
  - moves `PoissonNextSend()` out of `net` to `random` and renames it to `GetExponentialRand()`
  - moves `PoissonNextSendInbound()` out of `CConnman` to `PeerManager` and renames it to `NextInvToInbounds()`
  - adds documentation for these functions

  This is work by jnewbery - due to him being less active currently, I opened the PR and will address feedback.

For an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/.

Further information about Bitcoin Core is available in the doc folder.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information read the original Bitcoin whitepaper.

License

Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
