97c738ff1b [tests] Recommend f-strings for formatting, update feature_block to use them (Anthony Towns)
8ae9d314e9 Bump minimum python version to 3.6 (Anthony Towns)
Pull request description:
Python 3.5 has reached [end-of-life](https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches) as of September 2020, and 3.6 has some moderately nice [features](https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.6.html):
- `f'x = {x}'` as an alternative to `'x = {}'.format(x)` format strings (cf https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/13718#issuecomment-406591027)
- underscore separators for large numbers, like `1_234_567`
- improvements to async
- improvements to typing module
Note that 3.6 is not available in xenial (16.04), but is available in bionic (18.04), while focal (20.04) has 3.8. CentOS 7 and 8 have 3.6.8, Debian stable has 3.7.3, and [gentoo and arch already had 3.6 and 3.7 in 2018](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/14954#issuecomment-447118707).

The build didn't find too many issues, and they are generally only
endianness related, so easy to fix if they do make it into the main
developement branch.
With travis migrating its service, it fails too often intermittently. It
might be more appropriate to run it manually once before every release.
870f0cd2a0 build: Add MemorySanitizer (MSan) in Travis to detect use of uninitialized memory (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
Add MemorySanitizer (MSan) in Travis to detect use of uninitialized memory.
First UBSan, then ASan followed by TSan... and now: yes, the wait is over -- **MSan is finally here!** :)
Some historical context:
* 2017: Continuous compilation with Clang Thread Safety analysis enabled (#10866, #10923)
* 2018: Continuous testing with trapping on signed integer overflows (`-ftrapv`) (#12686)
* 2018: Continuous testing of use of locale dependent functions (#13041)
* 2018: Continuous testing of format strings (#13705)
* 2018: Continuous compilation with MSVC `TreatWarningAsError` (#14151)
* 2018: Continuous testing under UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer – UBSan (#14252, #14673, #17006)
* 2018: Continuous testing under AddressSanitizer – ASan (#14794, #17205, #17674)
* 2018: Continuous testing under ThreadSanitizer – TSan (#14829)
* 2019: Continuous testing in an unsigned char environment (`-funsigned-char`) (#15134)
* 2019: Continuous compile-time testing of assumptions we're making (#15391)
* 2019: Continuous testing of fuzz test cases under Valgrind (#17633, #18159, #18166)
* 2020: Finally... MemorySanitizer – MSAN! :)
What is the next step? What tools should we add to CI to keep bugs from entering `master`? :)

603fd6a2e7 depends: add MULTIPROCESS depends option (Russell Yanofsky)
5d1377b52b build: multiprocess autotools changes (Russell Yanofsky)
Pull request description:
This PR is part of the [process separation project](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/10).
---
This PR consists of build changes only. It adds an `--enable-multiprocess` autoconf option (off by default and marked experimental), that builds new `bitcoin-node` and `bitcoin-gui` binaries. These currently function the same as existing `bitcoind` and `bitcoin-qt` binaries, but are extended in #10102 with IPC features to execute node, wallet, and gui functions in separate processes.
In addition to adding the `--enable-multiprocess` config flag, it also adds a depends package and autoconf rules to build with the [libmultiprocess](https://github.com/chaincodelabs/libmultiprocess) library, and it adds new travis configuration to exercise the build code and run functional tests with the new binaries.
The changes in this PR were originally part of #10102 but were moved into #16367 to be able to develop and review the multiprocess build changes independently of the code changes. #16367 was briefly merged and then reverted in #18588. Only change since #16367 has been dropping the `native_boost.mk` depends package which was pointed out to be no longer necessary in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16367#issuecomment-596484337 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18588#pullrequestreview-391765649

Pull request description:
This adds a `--enable-c++17` option to the configure script, fixes the only C++17 incompatibility (with a commit taken from #18468), and adds a Travis test for it.
This is all off by default, and release builds remain C++11.
It implements the first step of the plan in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16684.

This PR is part of the [process separation project](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/10).
This splits autotools, depends build, and travis changes out of #10102, so code changes and build system changes can be reviewed separately.
