Add error and range-checking parsers for unsigned 32 and 64 bit numbers.
The 32-bit variant is required for parsing sequence numbers from the
command line in `bitcoin-tx` (see #8164 for discussion). I've thrown in
the 64-bit variant as a bonus, as I'm sure it will be needed at some
point.
Also adds tests, and updates `developer-notes.md`.
Add a function `ParseFixedPoint` that parses numbers according
to the JSON number specification and returns a 64-bit integer.
Then this in `AmountFromValue`, rather than `ParseMoney`.
Also add lots of tests (thanks to @jonasschnelli for some of them).
Fixes issue #6297.
Strict parsing functions for other numeric types.
- ParseInt64 analogous to ParseInt32, but for 64-bit values.
- ParseDouble for doubles.
- Make all three Parse* functions more strict (e.g. reject whitespace on
the inside)
Also add tests.
Split up util.cpp/h into:
- string utilities (hex, base32, base64): no internal dependencies, no dependency on boost (apart from foreach)
- money utilities (parsesmoney, formatmoney)
- time utilities (gettime*, sleep, format date):
- and the rest (logging, argument parsing, config file parsing)
The latter is basically the environment and OS handling,
and is stripped of all utility functions, so we may want to
rename it to something else than util.cpp/h for clarity (Matt suggested
osinterface).
Breaks dependency of sha256.cpp on all the things pulled in by util.
