This indicates that, eg, we have a public key for a key which may
be used as a pay-to-pubkey-hash. It generally means that we can
create a valid scriptSig except for missing private key(s) with
which to create signatures.
Since unspendable outputs can't be spent, there is no threshold at which it would be uneconomic to spend them.
This primarily targets transaction outputs with `OP_RETURN`.

Changes:
- cherry-picked on top of bitcoin:master
- added RPC test for fundrawtransaction
JSON makes no distinction between numbers and reals, and our code
doesn't need to do so either.
This removes VREAL, as well as its specific post-processing in
`UniValue::write`. Non-monetary amounts do not need to be forcibly
formatted with 8 decimals, so the extra roundtrip was unnecessary
(and potentially loses precision).
This is the format that was always returned to JSON clients.
The difference was not noticed before, because VREAL values
are post-processed by univalue.
By implementing the functionality directly it breaks the dependency
of rpcserver on utilmoneystr. FormatMoney is now only used for debugging
purposes.
To test, port over the formatting tests from util_tests.cpp to
rpc_tests.cpp.
Three changes to how configure --enable-debug behaves:
1. Preserve user-passed CXXFLAGS/CFLAGS
2. Compile with -DDEBUG_LOCKORDER
3. Add -DDEBUG -DDEBUG_LOCKORDER to CPPFLAGS (since they are preprocessor options)
It is unreasonable to ask to change the global package configuration
just to build a package. Not only that, this is potentially harmful to the system.
Also do a few punctuation fixes in REST-interface.md.
QT_NO_KEYWORDS prevents Qt from defining the `foreach`, `signals`,
`slots` and `emit` macros.
Avoid overlap between Qt macros and boost - for example #undef hackiness
in #6421.
0937290 doc: mention RPC random cookie authentication in release notes (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
71cbeaa rpc: Implement random-cookie based authentication (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
When no `-rpcpassword` is specified, use a special 'cookie' file for
authentication. This file is generated with random content when the
daemon starts, and deleted when it exits. Read access to this file
controls who can access through RPC. By default this file is stored in
the data directory but it be overriden with `-rpccookiefile`.
This is similar to Tor CookieAuthentication: see
https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en
Alternative to #6258. Like that pull, this allows running bitcoind
without any manual configuration. However, daemons should ideally never write to
their configuration files, so I prefer this solution.
