The implementation we currently use from OpenSSL prevents the compiler from optimizing away clensing operations on blocks of memory that are about to be released, but this protection is not extended to link-time optimization. This commit copies the solution cooked up by Google compiler engineers which uses inline assembly directives to instruct the compiler not to optimize out the call under any circumstances. As the code is in-lined, this has the added advantage of removing one more OpenSSL dependency.
Regarding license compatibility, Google's contributions to BoringSSL library, including this code, is made available under the ISC license, which is MIT compatible.

864cd2787 Move CBitcoinAddress to base58.cpp (Pieter Wuille)
5c8ff0d44 Introduce wrappers around CBitcoinAddress (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
This patch removes the need for the intermediary Base58 type `CBitcoinAddress`, by providing {`Encode`,`Decode`,`IsValid`}`Destination` functions that directly operate on the conversion between `std::string`s and `CTxDestination`.
As a side, it also fixes a number of indentation issues, and removes probably several unnecessary implicit `CTxDestination`<->`CBitcoinAddress` conversions.
This change is far from complete. In follow-ups I'd like to:
* Split off the specific address and key encoding logic from base58.h, and move it to a address.h or so.
* Replace `CTxDestination` with a non-`boost::variant` version (which can be more efficient as `boost::variant` allocates everything on the heap, and remove the need for `boost::get<...>` and `IsValidDestination` calls everywhere).
* Do the same for `CBitcoinSecret`, `CBitcoinExtKey`, and `CBitcoinExtPubKey`.
However, I've tried to keep this patch to be minimally invasive, but still enough to support non-Base58 addresses. Perhaps a smaller patch is possible to hack Bech32 support into `CBitcoinAddress`, but I would consider that a move in the wrong direction.

faa8d9581 [qa] TestNode: Add wait_until_stopped helper method (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
This adds a helper method `wait_until_stopped` to the `TestNode` class. This should prevent numerous `time.sleep()` over all places.
Additionally, the timeout behavior is restored. (Was removed by the introduction of `TestNode`.)
This should prevent tests from running indefinitely by accident.

Pull request description:
As discussed briefly here: https://botbot.me/freenode/bitcoin-core-dev/2017-02-28/?msg=81712308&page=4
This adds a hidden command line option for setting `nMinimumChainWork`, which allows us to test this parameter in our functional tests, as well as allowing for niche use cases like syncing nodes that are otherwise disconnected from the network.
See also #10345, which proposes a new use of `nMinimumChainWork`.

`make` rebuilds the entire project. This is quite slow if e.g. you're making changes to one file and only wish to run the bitcoind tests.

Nodes don't consider themselves out of "initial block download" until
their active chain has more work than nMinimumChainWork.
While in initial block download, nodes won't relay blocks to their
peers, so test that this parameter functions as intended by verifying
that block relay only succeeds past a given node once its
nMinimumChainWork has been exceeded.
ec6902d0e rpc: Push down safe mode checks (Andrew Chow)
Pull request description:
This contains most of the changes of #10563 "remove safe mode" by @achow101, but doesn't remove the safe mode yet, but put an `ObserveSafeMode()` check in (all 23) individual calls which used to have okSafeMode=false.
This cleans up the ugly "okSafeMode" flag from the dispatch tables, which is not a concern for the RPC server.

1. The RPC help text should use the constant CURRENCY_UNIT defined in
policy/feerate.cpp instead of the literal 'BTC'. In the following
2 RPC commands, 'BTC' is written directly in the help text.
1) estimatesmartfee
2) estimaterawfee
And also, for these help strings, the notation
'fee-per-kilobyte (in BTC)' is somewhat ambiguous.
To write more precisely, this commit changes to 'fee rate in BTC/kB'
with using the constant CURRENCY_UNIT.
2. Some RPC command use 'satoshis' as the unit. It should be written
as 'satoshis' instead of 'Satoshis' in the RPC help text.
So, this commit fixes this typo in getblocktemplate.
3. The phrase that '... feerate (BTC per KB) ...' is used to explain
the fee rate in the help text of following 2 RPC commands.
1) getmempoolinfo
2) fundrawtransaction
But they are different from other similar help text of the RPCs.
And also, 'KB' implies Kibibyte (2^10 byte).
To unify and to clarify, this commit changes these phrase to
'... fee rate in BTC/kB ...'.
(BTC references the constant 'CURRENCY_UNIT')

On startup, the wallets will start pumping wallet transactions into the mempool in a different thread while LoadMempool() is running.
This will sometimes result in transactions "failing" to be accepted into mempool, but only for the reason that they were already
put there by a wallet. The log message for mempool load would note this as a 'failure' to import, which was misleading; it should
instead mark it as the transaction already being in the mempool.
Replace witness-stripped wallet transactions with full transactions;
this can happen when upgrading from a pre-segwit wallet to a segwit-
aware wallet.
