Commit 2.
Remove boost include. Remove boost mentions in comments.
Changes the errors field to warnings. To maintain compatibility,
the errors field is deprecated and enabled by starting bitcoind with
-deprecatedrpc=getmininginfo
Deprecate estimatefee in v0.16, for final removal in v0.17.
This commit introduces a phased removal of RPC methods. RPC method is
disabled by default in version x, but can be enabled by using the
`-deprecatedrpc=<method>` argument. RPC method is removed entirely in
version (x+1).
5acd82de9 rpc: make estimatesmartfee argument naming consistent with documentation (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
24697c40e rpc: update cli for estimatefee argument rename (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
The first argument of `estimaterawfee` was renamed from `nblocks` to `conf_target` in 06bcdb8da64502a64df03f3c89fbc6ccb72cd349. Update the client-side table as well.
This makes #10753 pass again.

* This removes block-size-limiting code in favor of GBT clients
doing the limiting themselves (if at all).
* -blockmaxsize is deprecated and only used to calculate an implied
blockmaxweight, addressing confusion from multiple users.
* getmininginfo's currentblocksize return value was returning
garbage values, and has been removed, also removing a
GetSerializeSize call in some block generation inner loops and
potentially addressing some performance edge cases.
This patch removes the need for the intermediary Base58 type
CBitcoinAddress, by providing {Encode,Decode,IsValid}Destination
function that directly operate on the conversion between strings
and CTxDestination.
47ba2c312 Fix currency/fee-rate unit string in the help text (Akio Nakamura)
Pull request description:
1. The RPC help text should use the constant `CURRENCY_UNIT` defined in `policy/feerate.cpp` instead of the literal `'BTC'`.
In the following 2 RPC commands, `'BTC'` is written directly in the help text.
This commit changes them to use that constant.
1) `estimatesmartfee`
2) `estimaterawfee`
2. Some RPC command use `'satoshis'` as the unit.
It should be written as `'satoshis'` instead of `'Satoshis'` in the RPC help text.
So, this commit fixes this typo in `getblocktemplate`.

1. The RPC help text should use the constant CURRENCY_UNIT defined in
policy/feerate.cpp instead of the literal 'BTC'. In the following
2 RPC commands, 'BTC' is written directly in the help text.
1) estimatesmartfee
2) estimaterawfee
And also, for these help strings, the notation
'fee-per-kilobyte (in BTC)' is somewhat ambiguous.
To write more precisely, this commit changes to 'fee rate in BTC/kB'
with using the constant CURRENCY_UNIT.
2. Some RPC command use 'satoshis' as the unit. It should be written
as 'satoshis' instead of 'Satoshis' in the RPC help text.
So, this commit fixes this typo in getblocktemplate.
3. The phrase that '... feerate (BTC per KB) ...' is used to explain
the fee rate in the help text of following 2 RPC commands.
1) getmempoolinfo
2) fundrawtransaction
But they are different from other similar help text of the RPCs.
And also, 'KB' implies Kibibyte (2^10 byte).
To unify and to clarify, this commit changes these phrase to
'... fee rate in BTC/kB ...'.
(BTC references the constant 'CURRENCY_UNIT')
This contains most of the changes of 10563 "remove safe mode", but doesn't
remove the safe mode yet, but put an `ObserveSafeMode()` check in
individual calls with okSafeMode=false.
This cleans up the ugly "okSafeMode" flag from the dispatch tables,
which is not a concern for the RPC server.

Pull request description:
This is a followup to #10783.
- The first commit doesn't change behavior at all, just simplifies code.
- The second commit just changes RPC methods to treat null arguments the same as missing arguments instead of throwing type errors.
- The third commit updates developer notes after the cleanup.
- The forth commit does some additional code cleanup in `getbalance`.
Followup changes that should happen in future PRs:
- [ ] Replace uses of `.isTrue()` with calls to `.get_bool()` so numbers, objects, and strings cause type errors instead of being interpreted as false. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11050#discussion_r133850525
- [ ] Add braces around if statements. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11050#discussion_r133851133
- [ ] Maybe improve UniValue type error exceptions and eliminate RPCTypeCheck and RPCTypeCheckArgument functions. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11050#discussion_r133829303

4dc1915 check for null values in rpc args and handle appropriately (Gregory Sanders)
999ef20 importmulti options are optional (Gregory Sanders)
a70d025 fixup some rpc param counting for rpc help (Gregory Sanders)
Pull request description:
Audited where named args will fail to use correct default values or may fail when additional optional arguments are added.
Previously for these parameters, it was fine to omit them as positional arguments, but it would trigger UniValue runtime errors to set them to null, or to omit them while passing named parameters with greater positions (which would internally set earlier missing arguments to null). Now null values are treated the same as missing values so these errors do not occur.
Included a few other small fixes while working on it.
I didn't bother fixing account-based rpc calls.

Change parameter for conservative estimates to be an estimate_mode string.
Change to never return a -1 for failure but to instead omit the feerate and
return an error string. Throw JSONRPC error on invalid nblocks parameter.
