Now that 0.15 branch has been split off, master is 0.15.99 (pre-0.16).
Also clean out release notes.
Tree-SHA512: 160f712fae7bfc51e49e36a27ab01f5c243b79a19a70312df95f9bc5cb8067c70aa88911f741fd1625bee549a70655eaea24d98f6049d98c3c14ee1b3143f4cb
Added an option to configure to allow for branch coverage statistics gathering.
Disabled logprint macro when coverage testing is on so that unnecessary branches are not analyzed.
bctest.py is only used as an import by bitcoin-util-test.py. There's no
value in keeping it as a separate module, so let's merge them into a
single module to keep building and packaging simpler.
bitcoin-test-util is importable as a module, so if any future modules
really want to import the code from bctest.py, they can import
bitcoin-test-util and call the bctest functions by name.
This is a well-intentioned but realistically annoying warning. Unfortunately,
it's too easy for a warning in one header to cause dozens of repeated warnings.

The functional tests and util tests both require a config file that is
generated by ./configure. This commit merges those two config
files into a single configuration file that can be shared by both tests.
The config from config.ini is put into a Namespace object to maintain
the interface with bctest.py. A future commit could change this
interface to use a dictionary instead of a namespace.
glibc-specific: On 32-bit systems set the number of arenas to 1. By
default, since glibc 2.10, the C library will create up to two heap
arenas per core. This is known to cause excessive virtual address space
usage in our usage. Work around it by setting the maximum number of
arenas to 1.
This adds a mode argument to `getmemoryinfo`. By default the output
will remain the same. However if a mode argument of `mallocinfo` is
provided the result of glibc `malloc_info` (if available) will
be returned as a string, as-is.
This is useful for tracking heap usage over time or troubleshooting
memory fragmentation issues.
Instead of the WIN32-specific workaround, detect lack of `MSG_DONTWAIT`
in the build system. This allows other platforms without `MSG_DONTWAIT`
to work too.
These are available in sandboxes without access to files or
devices. Also [they are safer and more straightforward](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy-supplying_system_calls)
to use than `/dev/urandom` as reading from a file has quite a few edge
cases:
- Linux: `getrandom(buf, buflen, 0)`. [getrandom(2)](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/getrandom.2.html)
was introduced in version 3.17 of the Linux kernel.
- OpenBSD: `getentropy(buf, buflen)`. The [getentropy(2)](http://man.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-current/man2/getentropy.2)
function appeared in OpenBSD 5.6.
- FreeBSD and NetBSD: `sysctl(KERN_ARND)`. Not sure when this was added
but it has existed for quite a while.
Alternatives:
- Linux has sysctl `CTL_KERN` / `KERN_RANDOM` / `RANDOM_UUID`
which gives 16 bytes of randomness. This may be available
on older kernels, however [sysctl is deprecated on Linux](https://lwn.net/Articles/605392/)
and even removed in some distros so we shouldn't use it.
Add tests for `GetOSRand()`:
- Test that no error happens (otherwise `RandFailure()` which aborts)
- Test that all 32 bytes are overwritten (initialize with zeros, try multiple times)
Discussion:
- When to use these? Currently they are always used when available.
Another option would be to use them only when `/dev/urandom` is not
available. But this would mean these code paths receive less testing,
and I'm not sure there is any reason to prefer `/dev/urandom`.
