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).

Nowhere else in the protocol do we send headers which are for
blocks we have not fully validated except in response to getheaders
messages with a null locator. On my public node I have not seen any
such request (whether for an invalid block or not) in at least two
years of debug.log output, indicating that this should have minimal
impact.

cc5c39d [Build] Add AM_OBJCXXFLAGS and QT_PIE_FLAGS to OBJCXXFLAGS to future-proof darwin targets (fanquake)
f8c6697 Fix automake warnings when running autogen.sh (Evan Klitzke)
Pull request description:
Adjusted @eklitzke's commit to completely remove GZIP_ENV.
Added a commit to address OBJCXXFLAGS.
Rebased on master.
Relevant info from @theuni & #11013 below.
--------
GZIP_ENV was indeed added for determinism, but gitian exports this as needed, so it's not really necessary. I'd rather just remove it.
The mm.o rule was added to support XCode 4.2's ancient version of automake. That's irrelevant now, so it makes sense to remove that too.
All darwin targets are PIE by default, so we don't technically need the flags, but I'd be more comfortable if we hooked up the OBJCXXFLAGS in case future ones are added.
--------
The second commit addresses the last point, but could probably use a better commit message.
These warnings are removed from autogen output:

37886d5e2 Disconnect outbound peers relaying invalid headers (Suhas Daftuar)
4637f1852 moveonly: factor out headers processing into separate function (Suhas Daftuar)
Pull request description:
Alternate to #11446.
Disconnect outbound (non-manual) peers that serve us block headers that are already known to be invalid, but exempt compact block announcements from such disconnects.
We restrict disconnection to outbound peers that are using up an outbound connection slot, because we rely on those peers to give us connectivity to the honest network (our inbound peers are not chosen by us and hence could all be from an attacker/sybil). Maintaining connectivity to peers that serve us invalid headers is sometimes desirable, eg after a soft-fork, to protect unupgraded software from being partitioned off the honest network, so we prefer to only disconnect when necessary.
Compact block announcements are exempted from this logic to comply with BIP 152, which explicitly permits nodes to relay compact blocks before fully validating them.

c60fd71 Disconnecting from bad outbound peers in IBD (Suhas Daftuar)
Pull request description:
The first commit will disconnect an outbound peer that serves us a headers chain with insufficient work while we're in IBD.
The second commit introduces a way to disconnect outbound peers whose chains fall out of sync with ours:
For a given outbound peer, we check whether their best known block (which is known from the blocks they announce to us) has at least as much work as our tip. If it doesn't, we set a 20 minute timeout, and if we still haven't heard about a block with as much work as our tip had when we set the timeout, then we send a single getheaders message, and wait 2 more minutes. If after two minutes their best known block has insufficient work, we disconnect that peer.
We protect 4 of our outbound peers (who provide some "good" headers chains, ie a chain with at least as much work as our tip at some point) from being subject to this logic, to prevent excessive network topology changes as a result of this algorithm, while still ensuring that we have a reasonable number of nodes not known to be on bogus chains.
We also don't require our peers to be on the same chain as us, to prevent accidental partitioning of the network in the event of a chain split. Note that if our peers are ever on a more work chain than our tip, then we will download and validate it, and then either reorg to it, or learn of a consensus incompatibility with that peer and disconnect. This PR is designed to protect against peers that are on a less work chain which we may never try to download and validate.
Tree-SHA512: 2e0169a1dd8a7fb95980573ac4a201924bffdd724c19afcab5efcef076fdbe1f2cec7dc5f5d7e0a6327216f56d3828884f73642e00c8534b56ec2bb4c854a656
Currently we have no rotation of outbound peers. If an outbound peer
stops serving us blocks, or is on a consensus-incompatible chain with
less work than our tip (but otherwise valid headers), then we will never
disconnect that peer, even though that peer is using one of our 8
outbound connection slots. Because we rely on our outbound peers to
find an honest node in order to reach consensus, allowing an
incompatible peer to occupy one of those slots is undesirable,
particularly if it is possible for all such slots to be occupied by such
peers.
Protect against this by always checking to see if a peer's best known
block has less work than our tip, and if so, set a 20 minute timeout --
if the peer is still not known to have caught up to a chain with as much
work as ours after 20 minutes, then send a single getheaders message,
wait 2 more minutes, and if a better header hasn't been received by then,
disconnect that peer.
Note:
- we do not require that our peer sync to the same tip as ours, just an
equal or greater work tip. (Doing otherwise would risk partitioning the
network in the event of a chain split, and is also unnecessary.)
- we pick 4 of our outbound peers and do not subject them to this logic,
to be more conservative. We don't wish to permit temporary network
issues (or an attacker) to excessively disrupt network topology.
