d0b1fc88d Docs: Change formatting for sequence of steps (Vivek Ganesan)
Pull request description:
A numbered list is used when the sequence of steps matters. A bulleted list is used to denote a set of items where the sequence does not matter.
The workflow is a sequence and hence changed to a numbered list.

Add missing lock in `Clear()` (`CAddrMan`).
The variable `vRandom` is guarded by the mutex `cs`.
**Note to reviewers:** Does this look correct? Should the lock cover the entire scope of the method, or should it be limited to cover only `std::vector<int>().swap(vRandom);`?

ff35de8 [ui] Add toggle for unblinding password fields (Thomas Snider)
Pull request description:
Proposed change for adding the ability to toggle password visibility in the password dialog. This is similar to functionality in most password managers and is specifically added with the use case of password managers in mind - the password in that case is likely pasted twice into both the new password and confirm password fields.
If this is a welcome change, I am open to suggestions on rearranging the layout.

223a4aa [build] Don't fail when passed --disable-lcov and lcov isn't available (fanquake)
Pull request description:
Fixes#10828
As pointed out in #10828, failing with "lcov not found" when we've been passed --disable-lcov doesn't make sense. Master currently behaves like this (where lcov isn't available):
```
./configure --disable-lcov
checking for pkg-config... /usr/local/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
configure: error: "lcov testing requested but lcov not found"
```

Move to AppInitServers. This doesn't have any effects on bitcoin behavior. It
was just strange to have this unrelated code in the middle or parameter
interaction.

Pull request description:
This is an alternative approach to #11534. Rather than disconnect an outbound peer when our tip looks stale, instead try to connect to an additional outbound peer.
Periodically, check to see if we have more outbound peers than we target (ie if any extra peers are in use), and if so, disconnect the one that least recently announced a new block (breaking ties by choosing the newest peer that we connected to).

720d9e8fa [Wallet] always show help-line of wallet encryption calls (Jonas Schnelli)
Pull request description:
We do currently show/hide the wallet encryption RPC calls from the help if the current wallet.
In case of an encrypted wallet, `encryptwallet` is hidden and `walletpassphrasechange`, `walletpassphrasechange` and `walletlock` do appear in the help.
This is no longer ideal in case of multiwallet due to the fact that one may want help infos in order to target a specific wallet.
IMO its preferable to have a static help screen (show everything always). The currently show/hidden calls do handle the possible invalid encryption-state fine.

If our tip hasn't updated in a while, that may be because our peers are
not relaying blocks to us that we would consider valid. Allow connection
to an additional outbound peer in that circumstance.
Also, periodically check to see if we are exceeding our target number of
outbound peers, and disconnect the one which has least recently
announced a new block to us (choosing the newest such peer in the case
of tie).

Pull request description:
@sdaftuar pointed out that the version in #11487 was somewhat DoS-able as someone could feed you a valid chain that forked off the the last checkpoint block and force you to do lots of work just walking backwards across blocks for each new block they gave you. We came up with a few proposals but settled on the one implemented here as likely the simplest without obvious DoS issues. It uses our existing on-load mapBlockIndex walk to make sure everything that descends from an invalid block is marked as such, and then simply caches blocks which we attempted to connect but which were found to be invalid. To avoid DoS issues during IBD, this will need to depend on #11458.
Includes tests from #11487.

b296bf1 Init: Remove redundant exit(EXIT_FAILURE) instances and replace with return false (donaloconnor)
Pull request description:
While reviewing the bitcoin code I noticed that there are a few exit(EXIT_FAILURE) at various places in the AppInit function.
This function returns to main() which will return/exit with EXIT_FAILURE so returning false instead of an explicit exit(EXIT_FAILURE) seems to be cleaner.
This PR attempts to make things a bit more consistent.
There is a subtle difference between exit() and return from main in that the exit() will not clean up any local vars but I don't think this makes a difference in this case. Using exit() might even lead to bugs in the future where the dtor of local objects are expected to be called.

9d30f54 [Docs] Update OpenBSD Build Instructions for OpenBSD 6.2 (fanquake)
Pull request description:
This updates the OpenBSD build docs to reflect building [master](8ddf60db7a) on a OpenBSD 6.2 VM (using VirtualBox 5.1.28 r117968 on macOS 10.12.6).
Versions of installed packages were:
```
gmake 4.2.1
g++ 4.9.4
git 2.12.2
libevent 2.0.22
libtool 2.4.2
autoconf 2.69p2
automake 1.15p0
python 3.6.0
boost 1.58.0p3
llvm 4.0.0p2
```
The boost package installed via pkg_add now seems to work correctly. So we shouldn't require manual building + patching.
I also wasn't required to make adjustments to any resource limits.
Building with g++ and Clang was successful, using:
```
./configure --disable-wallet --with-gui=no CC=egcc CXX=eg++ CPP=ecpp
```
and
```
./configure --disable-wallet --with-gui=no CC=clang CXX=clang++
```
Running ``` make check ``` worked for ```test/test_bitcoin``` but ```test/util/bitcoin-util-test.py``` failed with:
```
Running test/util/bitcoin-util-test.py...
../test/util/bitcoin-util-test.py
env: python3: No such file or directory
```
So that seems like a configuration issue, Python 3.6 is installed.
Still todo:
- [ ] Check if a manual installation of Berkeley DB is required
- [x] Fix running ```test/util/bitcoin-util-test.py```
- [x] Have someone else verify building

This tracks the set of all known invalid-themselves blocks (ie
blocks which we attempted to connect but which were found to be
invalid). This is used to cheaply check if new headers build on an
invalid chain.
While we're at it we also resolve an edge-case in invalidateblock
on pruned nodes which results in them needing a reindex if they
fail to reorg.
This is a simple change that makes our accept requirements the
same as our request requirements, (ever so slightly) further
decoupling our consensus logic from our FindNextBlocksToDownload
logic in net_processing.
There is no reason to wish to store blocks on disk always just
because a peer is whitelisted. This appears to be a historical
quirk to avoid breaking things when the accept limits were added.
Removes checking whitelisted behavior (which will be removed, the
difference in behavior here makes little sense) and no longer
requires that blocks at the same work as our tip be dropped if not
requested (in part because we *do* request those blocks).
