The new Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) allows a user to run a bash shell directly on Windows in an Ubuntu based environment. This can be used to cross-compile Bitcoin directly on Windows without the need for a separate Linux VM or Server. The instructions included in this commit explain how to configure the environment and build Bitcoin Core using this new feature.
1df3111 protocol.h: Make enums in GetDataMsg concrete values (Wladimir J. van der Laan)

Adding in response to a Slack discussion where someone was unclear on the fact
that a NACK may be justified if code can't be accepted due to copyright/patent
issues. For example, it would be reasonable and prudent to NACK a contribution
of AGPL-licensed consensus code on the basis that the license terms are
incompatible with the MIT license used by the rest of the codebase.

06128da Make GetFetchFlags always request witness objects from witness peers (Matt Corallo)
This concretizes the numbers and adds a comment to make it clear that
these numbers are fixed by the protocol, and may avoid people forgetting
to claim numbers in the future (e.g. issue #8500).
Also gets rid of a weird unused `MSG_TYPE_MAX` in the middle of the
enumeration (thanks @paveljanik for noticing).
sync_with_ping() only guarantees that the node has processed messages
it's received from the peer, not that block announcements from the node have
made it back to the peer. Replace sync_with_ping() with an explicit check that
the node's tip has been announced.
This fixes a bug where we might (in exceedingly rare circumstances)
accidentally ban a node for sending us the first (potentially few)
segwit blocks in non-segwit mode.
