Merge #19258: doc: improve subtree check instructions
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.

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

Merge #14519: tests: add utility to easily profile node performance with perf
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.

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`.

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/])
