a4a3fc4cd2 doc: improve subtree check instructions (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
Running `git-subtree-check.sh` requires adding the subtree repository as a remote. I learned that several years ago and then forgot again.
This PR also improves the error message if the subtree commit can't be found.

155a11f897 doc: Added running functional tests in valgrind (Elichai Turkel)
Pull request description:
Technically the notes only show an "example" of how to run valgrind with the suppression file,
but now that https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17633 is merged then maybe this can encourage more people to run also the functional tests in valgrind

This reverts commit dfeb0bacb054ed24766f8af7bae0c0166b0cb4cb.
The "Git and GitHub tips" section was moved from doc/developer-notes.md to doc/productivity.md in 5b76c31, but the header link to that long-gone section in the developer notes remains and needs to go.
So long, Git and GitHub tips, we barely knew ya.

13782b8ba8 docs: add perf section to developer docs (James O'Beirne)
58180b5fd4 tests: add utility to easily profile node performance with perf (James O'Beirne)
Pull request description:
Adds a context manager to easily (and selectively) profile node performance during functional test execution using `perf`.
While writing some tests, I encountered some odd bitcoind slowness. I wrote up a utility (`TestNode.profile_with_perf`) that generates performance diagnostics for a node by running `perf` during the execution of a particular region of test code.
`perf` usage is detailed in the excellent (and sadly unmerged) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12649; all due props to @eklitzke.
### Example
```python
with node.profile_with_perf("large-msgs"):
for i in range(200):
node.p2p.send_message(some_large_msg)
node.p2p.sync_with_ping()
```
This generates a perf data file in the test node's datadir (`/tmp/testtxmpod0y/node0/node-0-TestName-large-msgs.perf.data`).
Running `perf report` generates nice output about where the node spent most of its time while running that part of the test:
```bash
$ perf report -i /tmp/testtxmpod0y/node0/node-0-TestName-large-msgs.perf.data --stdio \
| c++filt \
| less
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

a62e667296 docs: Add more Doxygen information to Developer Notes (Jon Layton)
Pull request description:
Update information about Doxygen in `doc/developer-notes.md`.
Alternatively, this could have its own file (like `doc/web-documentation.md`), since there are installation steps included.
For example, I had to run:
```
brew install doxygen graphviz
```
on MacOS, otherwise failures occurred.
This information could also be linked to the `doc/release-process.md`.

a67d71311d [doc] developer-notes.md: point out that UniValue deviates from upstream (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
While debugging an issue I was somewhat surprised to [learn](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/14164#issuecomment-419752678) that we've moved `src/univalue` from https://github.com/jgarzik/univalue to https://github.com/bitcoin-core/univalue, that these repos are both maintained and they're different.
The first mention of using the bitcoin-core repo is from late 2015 in #7157. I didn't check when the last common ancestor commit is.
I couldn't find documentation as to why (these things just happen in open source of course), but at minimum we should make this more clear.
There's also the following line in `config.ac` that I'm not sure what to do with:
```
AC_INIT([univalue], [1.0.3],
[http://github.com/jgarzik/univalue/])
```
