9d811dc Document partial validation in ConnectBlock() (Suhas Daftuar)
Pull request description:
`ConnectBlock()` relies on validation that happens in `ContextualCheckBlock()` and
`ContextualCheckBlockHeader()`. This has implications for implementing consensus
changes and handling software upgrade to ensure that nodes upgrading their
software end up enforcing all the consensus rules.

Neither the unit nor functional tests appear to cover rejecting a transaction from acceptance to the mempool on the basis of it being a coinbase. Seems like a decent thing to have a test for.

c3055bb Add help-console command to Qt debug console (Luke Mlsna)
Pull request description:
This PR would close issue #9195 by adding documentation for the debug console features (mainly nested commands) which were added in [PR #7783](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7783).
The following changes were made to QT debug console code:
- Added a line to the initial message text at the top of the debug console:
> For more information on using this console type **help-console**.
- Added a pseudo-command `help-console` which is hooked after parsing the request, but before actually executing the RPC thread. It prints the following text to the console as if it were a valid RPC response.
> This console accepts RPC commands using the standard syntax.
> example: getblockhash 8
> This console can also accept RPC commands using bracketed syntax.
> example: getblockhash(8)
> A space or a comma can be used to separate arguments for either syntax.
> example: sendtoaddress \<address\> \<amount\>
> sendtoaddress,\<address\>,\<amount\>
> Commands may be nested when specified with the bracketed syntax.
> example: getblockinfo(getblockhash(0),true).
> Result values can be queried with a non-quoted string in brackets.
> example: getblock(getblockhash(0) true)[height]
This seemed like a reasonably sane way to introduce a fake RPC help command, but

Pull request description:
Closes#11348
Adds a `-walletdir` parameter which specifies a directory to use for wallets, allowing them to be stored separately from the 'main' data directory. Creates a new `wallets/` directory in datadir if this is the first time running, and defaults to using it if it exists.
Includes tests and release notes. Things which might need to be considered more:
- there is no 'lock' on the wallets directory, which might be needed?
- because this uses a new wallets/ directory by default, downgrading to an earlier version won't see the wallets in that directory (not a big deal though, users can just copy them up to the main dir)
- jnewbery suggested putting each wallet in its own directory, which is a good idea, but out of scope for this PR IMO. EDIT: this is being done in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11687
- doc/files.md needs updating (will do soon)
I also considered including a cleanup by removing caching of data directory paths and instead just initialise them once on startup (c.f. #3073), but decided it wasn't super relevant here will just complicate review.

- Added `help-console` to the list of autocompletion strings
- Implemented requested changes to help message:
- Added an example that uses access-by-index `getblock(getblockhash(0) true)[tx][0]`
- Replace "bracketed syntax" to "parenthesized syntax" where applicable
- Replace "separate" with "delimit"
- Removed `<br>` and `<b>help/help-console</b>` from translation strings, since these parts don't change between languages
- Changed examples to be based off `getblock 0` so they will work even with pruned/no blockchain and `disablewallet` if copied and pasted
- Clarified syntax for queries of named/unnamed result objects.
