Now that signing is deterministic, we can require exact correspondence between the
automatically generated tests and the ones read from JSON. Do this, and update
the tests to those deterministic versions. Note that some flag changes weren't
correctly applied before.
1. Remove the default format (binary) because `rest/block/<hash>/Hex` would end up delivering binary data.
2. List available formats when chosen format was not found (reduces need for documentation)
3. Change url syntax to dot extension like format chosing (like `rest/tx/<hash>.json`
- add newly added variables to the constructor init
- move an already existing bool also to constructor init
- move a connect call to setClientModel and add a NULL pointer check
There are 3 pieces of data that are maintained on disk. The actual block
and undo data, the block index (which can refer to positions on disk),
and the chainstate (which refers to the best block hash).
Earlier, there was no guarantee that blocks were written to disk before
block index entries referring to them were written. This commit introduces
dirty flags for block index data, and delays writing entries until the actual
block data is flushed.
With this stricter ordering in writes, it is now safe to not always flush
after every block, so there is no need for the IsInitialBlockDownload()
check there - instead we just write whenever enough time has passed or
the cache size grows too large. Also updating the wallet's best known block
is delayed until this is done, otherwise the wallet may end up referring to an
unknown block.
In addition, only do a write inside the block processing loop if necessary
(because of cache size exceeded). Otherwise, move the writing to a point
after processing is done, after relaying.
Previously -proxy was not setting the proxy for IsLimited networks, so
if you set your configuration to be onlynet=tor you wouldn't get an
IPv4 proxy set.
The payment protocol gets its proxy configuration from the IPv4 proxy,
and so it would experience a connection leak.
This addresses issue #5355 and also clears up a cosmetic bug where
getinfo proxy output shows nothing when onlynet=tor is set.
Like in a real world situation, a safe mode test should also be visible in the
UI. A test of safe mode is furthermore mostly relevant for developers, so it
should not be overwritten by a warning about a pre-release test build.
Add a sanity check to prevent cosmic rays from flipping a bit in the
generated public key, or bugs in the elliptic curve code. This is
simply done by signing a (randomized) message, and verifying the
result.

Closes#5325#5184#5183#5182
Some users may have libtool libs (.la) installed in their linker search paths.
In this case, using -static-libtool-libs would try to link in .a's instead of
shared libs. That would be harmless unless the .a was built in a way that
would break linking, like non-fpic.
What we really want is "-static" here. Despite its name, it's actually less
aggressive than -static-libtool-libs. It causes only internal libs to be linked
statically (libbitcoinconsensus is the one were'a after).
