42fb5311b1 rpc: return warnings as an array instead of just a single one (stickies-v)
Pull request description:
The RPC documentation for `getblockchaininfo`, `getmininginfo` and `getnetworkinfo` states that "warnings" returns "any network and blockchain warnings". In practice, only a single warning (i.e. the latest one that is set) is returned, the other ones are ignored.
Fix that by returning all warnings as an array.
As a side benefit, clean up the GetWarnings() logic.
Since this PR changes the RPC result schema, I've added release notes. Users can temporarily revert to the old results by using `-deprecatedrpc=warnings`, until it's removed in a future version.
---
Some historical context from git log:
- when `GetWarnings` was introduced in 401926283a, it was used in the `getinfo` RPC, where only a [single error/warning was returned](401926283a (diff-7442c48d42cd5455a79915a0f00cce5e13359db46437a32b812876edb0a5ccddR250)) (similar to how it is now).
- later on, "warnings" RPC response fields were introduced, e.g. in ef2a3de25c, with the description [stating](ef2a3de25c (diff-1021bd3c74415ad9719bd764ad6ca35af5dfb33b1cd863c0be49bdf52518af54R411)) that it returned "any network warnings" but in practice still only a single warning was returned

In i2p documentation, it says that "the first time Bitcoin Core connects to the I2P router,
it automatically generates a persistent I2P address and its corresponding private key by
default _**or if `-i2pacceptincoming=1` is set**_". This is weird, because `-i2pacceptincoming=1`
by itself does not have any effect. Moreover, `-i2pacceptincoming` is 1 by default anyway.

c87b0a0ff4 zmq: accept unix domain socket address for notifier (Matthew Zipkin)
Pull request description:
This is a follow-up to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27375, allowing ZMQ notifications to be published to a UNIX domain socket.
Fortunately, libzmq handles unix sockets already, all we really have to do to support it is allow the format in the actual option.
[libzmq](https://libzmq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/zmq_ipc.html) uses the prefix `ipc://` as opposed to `unix:` which is [used by Tor](https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/blob/main/doc/man/tor.1.txt?ref_type=heads#L1475) and now also by [bitcoind](a85e5a7c9a/doc/release-notes-27375.md?plain=1#L5) so we need to switch that internally.
As far as I can tell, [LND](d20a764486/zmq.go (L38)) supports `ipc://` and `unix://` (notice the double slashes).
With this patch, LND can connect to bitcoind using unix sockets:
Example:
*bitcoin.conf*:
```
zmqpubrawblock=unix:/tmp/zmqsb
zmqpubrawtx=unix:/tmp/zmqst
```
*lnd.conf*:
```
bitcoind.zmqpubrawblock=ipc:///tmp/zmqsb
bitcoind.zmqpubrawtx=ipc:///tmp/zmqst
```

Pull request description:
Recursion is a frequent source of stack overflow bugs. Secondly, introduction of recursion can be non-obvious.
This PR proposes to use the clang-tidy `misc-no-recursion` check to make introduction of new recursion obvious. We don't make use of recursion a lot in our code base but there are a few places that need suppressions anyway (mostly the descriptor and univalue/rpc code).

Pretty much all library packages were renamed in the 64-bit time_t
migration to add `t64` (even on 64-bit platforms).
Instead of complicating the doc with conditional package names, suggest
installing the `-dev` packages which still have the same name, and
besides that, are the right way to go about it as they contain the
"user facing" C++ headers needed to build against Qt5.
For Fedora, devel packages are already suggested.
This affects Ubuntu 24.04 and Debian Testing.

Pull request description:
Closes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/27252
UNIX domain sockets are a mechanism for inter-process communication that are faster than local TCP ports (because there is no need for TCP overhead) and potentially more secure because access is managed by the filesystem instead of serving an open port on the system.
There has been work on [unix domain sockets before](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9979) but for now I just wanted to start on this single use-case which is enabling unix sockets from the client side, specifically connecting to a local Tor proxy (Tor can listen on unix sockets and even enforces strict curent-user-only access permission before binding) configured by `-onion=` or `-proxy=`
I copied the prefix `unix:` usage from Tor. With this patch built locally you can test with your own filesystem path (example):
`tor --SocksPort unix:/Users/matthewzipkin/torsocket/x`
`bitcoind -proxy=unix:/Users/matthewzipkin/torsocket/x`
Prep work for this feature includes:
- Moving where and how we create `sockaddr` and `Sock` to accommodate `AF_UNIX` without disturbing `CService`
- Expanding `Proxy` class to represent either a `CService` or a UNIX socket (by its file path)
Future work:
- Enable UNIX sockets for ZMQ (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27679)
- Enable UNIX sockets for I2P SAM proxy (some code is included in this PR but not tested or exposed to user options yet)
- Enable UNIX sockets on windows where supported
- Update Network Proxies dialog in GUI to support UNIX sockets

Pull request description:
Revives #17167. It allows whitelisting manual connections. Fixes#9923
Since there are some PRs/issues around this topic, I'll list some motivations/comments for whitelisting outbound connections from them:
- Speed-up tx relay/mempool sync for testing purposes (my personal motivation for this) - In #26970, theStack pointed out that we whitelist peers to speed up tx relay for fast mempool synchronization, however, since it applies only for inbound connections and considering the topology `node0 <--- node1 <---- node2 <--- ... <-- nodeN`, if a tx is submitted from any node other than node0, the mempool synchronization can take quite long.
- https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29058#issuecomment-1865155764 - "Before enabling -v2transport by default (which I'd image may happen after https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/24748) we could consider a way to force manual connections to be only-v1 or even only-v2 (disabling reconnect-with-v1). A possibility could be through a net permission flag, if https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27114 makes it in."
- https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17167#issuecomment-1168606032 - "This would allow us to use https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25355 when making outgoing connections to all nodes, except to whitelisted ones for which we would use our persistent I2P address."
- Force-relay/mempool permissions for a node you intentionally connected to.
