A few updates, some per IRC discussion today at http://www.erisian.com.au/bitcoin-core-dev/log-2021-01-07.html#l-87 with respect to -netinfo:
- enable `-netinfo help` to run without a remote server
- warn in `-netinfo help` that -netinfo is not intended to be a stable API
- improve the -netinfo invalid argument error message
- make a performance improvement and simplification I noticed after the merge of #20764
- update the -netinfo help doc following the merge of #21192

How to test manually: 🔬🧪📈
1. check out and build this branch locally; if you need help, don't hesitate to refer to https://jonatack.github.io/articles/how-to-review-pull-requests-in-bitcoin-core#pull-down-the-code-locally or https://jonatack.github.io/articles/how-to-compile-bitcoin-core-and-run-the-tests
2. while it is compiling, look at the code changes
3. stop signet (if it is running) with `./src/bitcoin-cli -signet stop`
4. once the build is completed, run `./src/bitcoin-cli -signet -netinfo help`
5. the help should be printed even though the signet server is not running
6. near the top you should see the new warning, "This human-readable interface will change regularly and is not intended to be a stable API" as well as a bit more description about the integer argument values.
7. start signet with `./src/bitcoind -signet`
8. test the improved invalid argument error message if you run `./src/bitcoin-cli -signet -netinfo 256` or `./src/bitcoin-cli -signet -netinfo a` (valid values are from 0 to 255)
9. leave review feedback or `ACK <commit hash>` -- done 🍻

bd49ac4168 build: fix libnatpmp macos cross compile (fanquake)
Pull request description:
Currently, our cross-compile of libnatpmp for macOS doesn't work at all.
The wrong archiver is used, which produces an archive the linker doesn't like.
This becomes clear when configuring:
```bash
configure:25722: checking for initnatpmp in -lnatpmp
configure:25747: env -u C_INCLUDE_PATH -u CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH -u OBJC_INCLUDE_PATH -u OBJCPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH -u CPATH -u LIBRARY_PATH /home/ubuntu/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-apple-darwin18/native/bin/clang++ --target=x86_64-apple-darwin18 <trim> -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names -Wl,-dead_strip -Wl,-dead_strip_dylibs conftest.cpp -lnatpmp >&5
ld: archive has no table of contents for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
```
Fix this by using the right `ar` (we do the same for upnp).
While we're at it, fix the build so that we are using our c/ppflags.
In practice this basically means building with `-O2` rather than `-Os`.
Note that this fixes an issue that is also fixed by #21209. However, given there are reservations about updating to use a newer libnatpmp source, we should just fix this for now.

Pull request description:
Add I2P support by using the [I2P SAM](https://geti2p.net/en/docs/api/samv3) protocol. Unlike Tor, for incoming connections we get the I2P address of the peer (and they also receive ours when we are the connection initiator).
Two new options are added:
```
-i2psam=<ip:port>
I2P SAM proxy to reach I2P peers and accept I2P connections (default:
none)
-i2pacceptincoming
If set and -i2psam is also set then incoming I2P connections are
accepted via the SAM proxy. If this is not set but -i2psam is set
then only outgoing connections will be made to the I2P network.
Ignored if -i2psam is not set. Notice that listening for incoming
I2P connections is done through the SAM proxy, not by binding to
a local address and port (default: true)
```
# Overview of the changes
## Make `ReadBinary()` and `WriteBinary()` reusable
We would need to dump the I2P private key to a file and read it back later. Move those two functions out of `torcontrol.cpp`.
```
util: extract {Read,Write}BinaryFile() to its own files
util: fix ReadBinaryFile() returning partial contents
util: fix WriteBinaryFile() claiming success even if error occurred
```
## Split `CConnman::AcceptConnection()`
Most of `CConnman::AcceptConnection()` is agnostic of how the socket was accepted. The other part of it deals with the details of the `accept(2)` system call. Split those so that the protocol-agnostic part can be reused if we accept a socket by other means.
```
net: check for invalid socket earlier in CConnman::AcceptConnection()
net: get the bind address earlier in CConnman::AcceptConnection()
net: isolate the protocol-agnostic part of CConnman::AcceptConnection()
net: avoid unnecessary GetBindAddress() call
```
## Implement the I2P [SAM](https://geti2p.net/en/docs/api/samv3) protocol (not all of it)
Just the parts that would enable us to make outgoing and accept incoming I2P connections.
```
net: extend CNetAddr::SetSpecial() to support I2P
net: move the constant maxWait out of InterruptibleRecv()
net: dedup MSG_NOSIGNAL and MSG_DONTWAIT definitions
net: extend Sock::Wait() to report a timeout
net: extend Sock with methods for robust send & read until terminator
net: extend Sock with a method to check whether connected
net: implement the necessary parts of the I2P SAM protocol
```
## Use I2P SAM to connect to and accept connections from I2P peers
Profit from all of the preceding commits.
```
init: introduce I2P connectivity options
net: add I2P to the reachability map
net: make outgoing I2P connections from CConnman
net: accept incoming I2P connections from CConnman
net: recognize I2P from ParseNetwork() so that -onlynet=i2p works
net: Do not skip the I2P network from GetNetworkNames()

8a8c6383f6 zmq test: fix sync-up by matching notification to generated block (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
This is a follow-up PR for #21008, fixes#21216.
In the course of investigating the problem with jnewbery (analyzing the Cirrus log https://cirrus-ci.com/task/4660108304056320), it turned out that the "sync up" procedure of repeatedly generating a block and waiting for a notification with timeout is too brittle in its current form, as the following scenario could happen:
- generate block A
- receive notification, timeout happens => repeat procedure
- generate block B
- node publishes block A notification
- receive notification, we receive the one caused by block A (!!!) => sync-up procedure is completed
- node publishes block B notification
- the actual test starts
- on the first notification reception, the one caused by block B is received, rather than the one actually caused by test code => assertion failure
This change in the PR ensures that after each test block generation, we wait for the notification that is actually caused by that block and ignore others from possibly earlier blocks. The matching is kind of ugly, it assumes that one out of four components in the block is contained in the notification: the block hash, the tx id, the raw block data or the raw transaction data. (Unfortunately we have to support all publisher topics.)
I'm aware that this is quite a lot of code now only for establishing a robust test setup. OTOH I wouldn't know of a better method right now, suggestions are very welcome.
Note for potential reviewers: for both reproducing the issue on master branch and verifying on PR branch, one can simply generate two blocks in the sync-up procedure rather than one.

65363a1bd8 guix: Rebase on 95aca2991b (1.2.0-12.dffc918) (Carl Dong)
Pull request description:
On bumping the time-machine:
```
A few changes which are useful for us:
1. 'gnu: cross-gcc-arguments: Enable 128 bit long double for POWER9.' is
now merged into master.
2. gnutls is bumped to 3.6.15 and the temporal test failure in
status-request-revoked is fixed. Note that this does not fix the case
where one has installed Guix v1.2.0 and is running a substitute-less
bootstrap build, since the `guix time-machine` command itself has a
dependency on gnutls v3.6.12 (the one with the broken test) and will
thus try to build it before attempting to jump forwards in time. This
does however, mean that those who build a version of Guix that also
contains this fix will not go backwards in time to build the broken
gnutls v3.6.12.
```
On bumping the rest:
```
Bump glibc and linux-headers to match those of our Gitian counterparts.
We also require a glibc >= 2.28 for the test-symbol-check scripts to
work properly.
The default BASE-GCC-FOR-LIBC also has to be bumped since glibc 2.31
requires a gcc >= 6.2

e3e0a2432c Add benchmark to write JSON into a string (Martin Ankerl)
Pull request description:
The benchmark `BlockToJsonVerbose` only tests generating (and destroying)
the JSON data structure, but serializing into a string is also a
performance critical aspect of the RPC calls.
Extracts test setup into a `struct TestBlockAndIndex`, and uses it in
both `BlockToJsonVerbose` and `BlockToJsonVerboseWrite`.
Also, use `ankerl::nanobench::doNotOptimizeAway` to make sure the compiler
can't optimize the result of the calls away.

Introduce two new options to reach the I2P network:
* `-i2psam=<ip:port>` point to the I2P SAM proxy. If this is set then
the I2P network is considered reachable and we can make outgoing
connections to I2P peers via that proxy. We listen for and accept
incoming connections from I2P peers if the below is set in addition to
`-i2psam=<ip:port>`
* `-i2pacceptincoming` if this is set together with `-i2psam=<ip:port>`
then we accept incoming I2P connections via the I2P SAM proxy.
Implement the following commands from the I2P SAM protocol:
* HELLO: needed for all of the remaining ones
* DEST GENERATE: to generate our private key and destination
* NAMING LOOKUP: to convert .i2p addresses to destinations
* SESSION CREATE: needed for STREAM CONNECT and STREAM ACCEPT
* STREAM CONNECT: to make outgoing connections
* STREAM ACCEPT: to accept incoming connections
Introduce two high level, convenience methods in the `Sock` class:
* `SendComplete()`: keep trying to send the specified data until either
successfully sent all of it, timeout or interrupted.
* `RecvUntilTerminator()`: read until a terminator is encountered (never
after it), timeout or interrupted.
These will be convenient in the I2P SAM implementation.
`SendComplete()` can also be used in the SOCKS5 implementation instead
of calling `send()` directly.
Previously `Sock::Wait()` would not have signaled to the caller whether
a timeout or one of the requested events occurred since that was not
needed by any of the callers.
Such functionality will be needed in the I2P implementation, thus extend
the `Sock::Wait()` method.
Recognize also I2P addresses in the form `base32hashofpublickey.b32.i2p`
from `CNetAddr::SetSpecial()`.
This makes `Lookup()` support them, which in turn makes it possible to
manually connect to an I2P node by using
`-proxy=i2p_socks5_proxy:port -addnode=i2p_address.b32.i2p:port`

Our local (bind) address is already saved in `CNode::addrBind` and there
is no need to re-retrieve it again with `GetBindAddress()`.
Also, for I2P connections `CNode::addrBind` would contain our I2P
address, but `GetBindAddress()` would return something like
`127.0.0.1:RANDOM_PORT`.
Isolate the second half of `CConnman::AcceptConnection()` into a new
separate method, which could be reused if we accept incoming connections
by other means than `accept()` (first half of
`CConnman::AcceptConnection()`).
Call `GetBindAddress()` earlier in `CConnman::AcceptConnection()`. That
is specific to the TCP protocol and makes the code below it reusable for
other protocols, if the caller provides `addr_bind`, retrieved by other
means.
This check is related to an `accept()` failure. So do the check earlier,
closer to the `accept()` call.
This will allow to isolate the `accept()`-specific code at the beginning
of `CConnman::AcceptConnection()` and reuse the code that follows it.
`fclose()` is flushing any buffered data to disk, so if it fails then
that could mean that the data was not completely written to disk.
Thus, check if `fclose()` succeeds and only then claim success from
`WriteBinaryFile()`.
If an error occurs and `fread()` returns `0` (nothing was read) then the
code before this patch would have returned "success" with a partially
read contents of the file.
Extract `ReadBinaryFile()` and `WriteBinaryFile()` from `torcontrol.cpp`
to its own `readwritefile.{h,cpp}` files, so that it can be reused from
other modules.
