Pull request description:
Replace `LogPrint*` functions with severity based logging functions:
* `LogInfo(...)`, `LogWarning(...)`, `LogError(...)` for unconditional (uncategorised) logging (replaces `LogPrintf`)
* `LogDebug(CATEGORY, ...)` and `LogTrace(CATEGORY, ...)` for conditional logging (replaces `LogPrint`)
* `LogPrintLevel(CATEGORY, LEVEL, ...)` for when the level isn't known in advance, or a category needs to be added for an info/warning/error log message (mostly unchanged, but rarely needed)
Logs look roughly as they do now with `LogInfo` not having an `[info]` prefix, and `LogDebug` having a `[cat]` prefix, rather than a `[cat:debug]` prefix. This removes `BCLog::Level::None` entirely -- for `LogFlags::NONE` just use `Level::Info`, for any actual category, use `Level::Debug`.
Adds docs to developer-notes about when to use which level.
Adds `-loglevelalways=1` option so that you get `[net:debug]`, `[all:info]`, `[all:warning]` etc, which might be helpful for automated parsing, or just if you like everything to be consistent. Defaults to off to reduce noise in the default config, and to avoid unnecessary changes on upgrades.
Changes the behaviour of `LogPrintLevel(CATEGORY, BCLog::Level::Info, ...)` to be logged unconditionally, rather than only being an additional optional logging level in addition to trace and debug. Does not change the behaviour of `LogPrintLevel(NONE, Debug, ...)` and `LogPrintLevel(NONE, Trace, ...)` being no-ops.

These provide simple and clear ways to write the most common logging
operations:
LogInfo("msg");
LogDebug(BCLog::LogFlags::NET, "msg");
LogError("msg");
LogWarning("msg");
LogTrace(BCLog::LogFlags::NET, "msg");
For cases where the level cannot be hardcoded, LogPrintLevel(category,
level, ...) remains available.
91d0888921 sync: unpublish LocksHeld() which is used only in sync.cpp (Vasil Dimov)
3df37e0c78 doc: clarify that LOCK() does AssertLockNotHeld() internally (Vasil Dimov)
Pull request description:
Constructs like
```cpp
AssertLockNotHeld(m);
LOCK(m);
```
are equivalent to (almost, modulo some logging differences, see below)
```cpp
LOCK(m);
```
for non-recursive mutexes, so it is ok to omit `AssertLockNotHeld()` in such cases. Requests to do the former keep coming during review process. `developer-notes.md` explicitly states "Combine annotations in function declarations with run-time asserts in function definitions", but that seems to be too strong or unclear. `LOCK()` is also a run-time assert in this case.
Also remove `LocksHeld()` from the public interface in `sync.h` since it is only used in `sync.cpp`.

The thread does not only load blocks, it loads the mempool and,
in a future commit, will start the indexes as well.
Also, renamed the 'ThreadImport' function to 'ImportBlocks'
And the 'm_load_block' class member to 'm_thread_load'.

da347de530 doc: update broken links (pablomartin4btc)
Pull request description:
References to `utilstrencodings` and `lint-locale-dependence.sh` where incorrect, updating them accordingly.
Also, adding another reference to util function [`LocaleIndependentAtoi`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/util/strencodings.h#L108-L118), which is related with the updated section of the guide:
```
// LocaleIndependentAtoi is provided for backwards compatibility reasons.
//
// New code should use ToIntegral or the ParseInt* functions
// which provide parse error feedback.
//
// The goal of LocaleIndependentAtoi is to replicate the defined behaviour of
// std::atoi as it behaves under the "C" locale, and remove some undefined
// behavior. If the parsed value is bigger than the integer type's maximum
// value, or smaller than the integer type's minimum value, std::atoi has
// undefined behavior, while this function returns the maximum or minimum
// values, respectively.

75347236f2 docs: document c-style cast prohibition (Pasta)
Pull request description:
In the words of practicalswift:
```
A C-style cast is equivalent to try casting in the following order:
const_cast(...)
static_cast(...)
const_cast(static_cast(...))
reinterpret_cast(...)
const_cast(reinterpret_cast(...))
By using static_cast<T>(...) explicitly we avoid the possibility of an unintentional and
dangerous reinterpret_cast. Furthermore static_cast<T>(...) allows for easier grepping of casts.
For a more thorough discussion, see "ES.49: If you must use a cast, use a named cast"
in the C++ Core Guidelines (Stroustrup & Sutter).
```
Modern tooling, specifically `-Wold-style-cast` can enable us to enforce never using C-style casts. I believe this is especially important due to the number of C-style casts the codebase is currently being used as a reinterpret_cast. reinterpret_casts are especially dangerous, and should never be done via C-style casts.
Update the docs to suggest the use of named cast or functional casts.

Pull request description:
This changes `LOCK(mutex)` for non-global, non-recursive mutexes to be annotated with the negative capability for the mutex it refers to, to prevent . clang applies negative capabilities recursively, so this helps avoid forgetting to annotate functions.
This can't reasonably be used for globals, because clang would require every function to be annotated with `EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED(!g_mutex)` for each global mutex; so this introduces a trivial `GlobalMutex` subclass of `Mutex`, and reduces the annotations for both `GlobalMutex` to `LOCKS_EXCLUDED` which only catches trivial errors (eg (`LOCK(x); LOCK(x);`).

05f9770c1f doc: Clarify developer notes about constant naming (Russell Yanofsky)
Pull request description:
I'm pretty sure developer notes were intended to say constants should be upper case and variables should be lower case, but right now they are ambiguous about whether to write:
```c++
extern const int SYMBOL;
```
or:
```c++
extern const int g_symbol;
```
First convention above is better than the second convention because it tells you without having to look anything up that the value of `SYMBOL` won't change at runtime. Also I haven't seen other c++ projects using the second convention.
