P2P and network changes
-----------------------
- Added NAT-PMP port mapping support via [`libnatpmp`](https://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/libnatpmp.html)
Command-line options
--------------------
- The `-natpmp` option has been added to use NAT-PMP to map the listening port. If both UPnP
and NAT-PMP are enabled, a successful allocation from UPnP prevails over one from NAT-PMP.

Low-level RPC changes
---------------------
- Error codes have been updated to be more accurate for the following error cases (#18466):
- `signmessage` now returns RPC_INVALID_ADDRESS_OR_KEY (-5) if the
passed address is invalid. Previously returned RPC_TYPE_ERROR (-3).
- `verifymessage` now returns RPC_INVALID_ADDRESS_OR_KEY (-5) if the
passed address is invalid. Previously returned RPC_TYPE_ERROR (-3).
- `verifymessage` now returns RPC_TYPE_ERROR (-3) if the passed signature
is malformed. Previously returned RPC_INVALID_ADDRESS_OR_KEY (-5).

Updated RPCs
------------
- The `getpeerinfo` RPC returns two new boolean fields, `bip152_hb_to` and
`bip152_hb_from`, that respectively indicate whether we selected a peer to be
in compact blocks high-bandwidth mode or whether a peer selected us as a
compact blocks high-bandwidth peer. High-bandwidth peers send new block
announcements via a `cmpctblock` message rather than the usual inv/headers
announcements. See BIP 152 for more details. (#19776)

Updated RPCs
------------
- Due to [BIP 350](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0350.mediawiki)
being implemented, behavior for all RPCs that accept addresses is changed when
a native witness version 1 (or higher) is passed. These now require a Bech32m
encoding instead of a Bech32 one, and Bech32m encoding will be used for such
addresses in RPC output as well. No version 1 addresses should be created
for mainnet until consensus rules are adopted that give them meaning
(e.g. through [BIP 341](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0341.mediawiki)).
Once that happens, Bech32m is expected to be used for them, so this shouldn't
affect any production systems, but may be observed on other networks where such
addresses already have meaning (like signet).
