ce3baa193 changed regtest RPCport to 18443 to avoid conflict with testnet 18332 (Ferdinando M. Ametrano)
Pull request description:
using the same JSON-RPC default port for both testnet and regtest prevents running both at the same time on the same machine. Since RPCport=P2Pport-1 for both mainnet and testnet, and regtest P2Pport being 18444, 18443 is proposed for regtest RPCport
Documentation has been updated (or created where missing); manpages doc/man/bitcoin*.1 could include information for regtest too

Adds a datadir configuration option to the linearize scripts to allow the script to use the RPC cookie instead of requiring the user to set a rpcuser and rpcpassword for the rpc server.
- The last-timestamp-encountered variable wasn’t being used properly. Rewrite code to properly allow for new blockchain files to be written when split by month.
- Properly set a blockchain file’s access and modify times.
- Add a “debug output” option to quiet certain output that might not always be desirable.
- Update the README.
- Add a space after the fixed string prepended to file names when input or
output file changes
- Clarify the error message when the genesis block is not found in the
hash list (...why do we have this at all?)
Make it possible to read blocks in any order. This will be required
after headers-first (#4468), so should be merged before that.
- Read block header. For expected blocks, continue, else skip.
- For in-order blocks: copy block contents directly. Write prior
out-of-order blocks if this connects a consecutive span.
- For out-of-order blocks, store extents of block data for later
retrieval. Cache out-of-order blocks in memory up to 100MB
(configurable).
This was typically ensured implicitly by virtue of normal bitcoind
operation. Adding an explicit check provides a stronger guarantee, and
it is cheap to add.
Break into two steps:
* Generate hash list
* Build data file(s) from local bitcoind blocks/ directory.
This supports building one large bootstrap.dat, or multiple
smaller blocks/blkNNNNN.dat files.
