fe49f06c0e doc: clarify PR 26076 release note (Sjors Provoost)
bd13dc2f46 Switch hardened derivation marker to h in descriptors (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
This makes it easier to handle descriptor strings manually, especially when importing from another Bitcoin Core wallet.
For example the `importdescriptors` RPC call is easiest to use `h` as the marker: `'["desc": ".../0h/..."]'`, avoiding the need for escape characters. With this change `listdescriptors` will use `h`, so you can copy-paste the result, without having to add escape characters or switch `'` to 'h' manually.
Both markers can still be parsed.
The `hdkeypath` field in `getaddressinfo` is also impacted by this change, except for legacy wallets. The latter is to prevent accidentally breaking ancient software that uses our legacy wallet.
See discussion in #15740

7e3d4f8e86 test: add coverage to ensure the first arg of scantxoutset is needed (ismaelsadeeq)
Pull request description:
Include a test that checks whether the first argument of scantxoutset RPC call "start" is required.
The rpc call should fail if the "start" argument is not provided.

Included a test that checks if an invalid first argument is entered we
receive a rpc error. The rpc should fail if "start", "status" or "abort"
is not the first command.

This makes it easier to handle descriptor strings manually. E.g. an RPC call that takes an array of descriptors can now use '["desc": ".../0h/..."]'.
Both markers can still be parsed. The default for new descriptors is changed to h. In normalized form h is also used. For private keys the chosen marker is preserved in a round trip.
The hdkeypath field in getaddressinfo is also impacted by this change.
The COINBASE_MATURITY constant in blocktools.py is imported in wallet.py.
However, importing address_to_scriptpubkey to blocktools.py will
generate a circular import error. Since the method is related to
addresses, it is best to move it to address.py, which will also
fix the circular import error.
Update imports of address_to_scriptpubkey accordingly.
The previous diff touched most files in ./test/, so bump the headers to
avoid having to touch them again for a bump later.

1abcecc40c Tests: Use self.chain instead of 'regtest' in almost all current tests (Jorge Timón)
Pull request description:
Simply avoiding the hardcoded string in more places for consistency.
It can also allow for more easily reusing tests for other chains other than regtest.
Separated from #8994 .
Continues #16509 .
It is still not complete (ie to be complete, we need the -chain parameter in #16680 and make whether acceptnonstdtxs is allowed for that chain or not customizable for regtest [or for custom chains like in #8994 ] ). But while being incomplete like #16509 , it's quite simple to review and another step forward IMO.

Sjors:
re-ACK 1abcecc. I think it's an improvement even if incomplete and if some PR's might accidentally bring "regtest" back. Subsequent improvements hopefully don't have to touch 16 files.
