Permit (restricted topology) submitpackage RPC outside of regtest. Suggested in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26933#issuecomment-1510851570
This RPC should be safe but still experimental - interface may change, not all features (e.g. package RBF) are implemented, etc. If a miner wants to expose this to people, they can effectively use "package relay" before the p2p changes are implemented. However, please note **this is not package relay**; transactions submitted this way will not relay to other nodes if the feerates are below their mempool min fee. Users should put this behind some kind of rate limit or permissions.

7899402cff Add headerssync-params.py script to the repository (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
Builds upon #25946, as it incorporates changes based on the selected values there.
This adds the headerssync tuning parameters optimization script from https://gist.github.com/sipa/016ae445c132cdf65a2791534dfb7ae1 to the repository, updates the parameters based on its output, and adds release process instructions for doing this update in the future.
A few considerations:
* It would be a bit cleaner to have these parameters be part of `CChainParams`, but due to the nature of the approach, it really only applies to chains with unforgeable proof-of-work, which we really can only reasonably expect from mainnet, so I think it's fine to keep them local to `headerssync.cpp`. Keeping them as compile-time evaluatable constants also has a (likely negligible) performance impact (avoiding runtime modulo operations).
* If we want to make sure the chainparams and headerssync params don't go out of date, it could be possible to run the script in CI, and and possibly even have the parameters be generated automatically at build time. I think that's overkill for how unfrequently these need to change, and running the script has non-trivial cost (~minutes in the normal python interpreter).
* A viable alternative is just leaving this out-of-repo entirely, and just do ad-hoc updating from time to time. Having it in the repo and release notes does make sure it's not forgotten, though adds a cost to contributors/maintainers who follow the process.

fa6e6a3f03 doc: Remove confusing assert linter (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
The `assert()` documentation and linter are redundant and confusing:
* The source code already refuses to compile with `assert()` disabled.
* They violate the assumptions about `Assert()`, which *requires* side effects.
* The existing linter doesn't enforce the guideline, only checking for `++` and `--` side effects.
Fix all issues by removing the docs and the linter. See also https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26684#discussion_r1287370102

This changeset finishes the first phase of the assumeutxo project. It makes UTXO snapshots loadable via RPC (`loadtxoutset`) and adds `assumeutxo` parameters to chainparams. It contains all the remaining changes necessary to both use an assumedvalid snapshot chainstate and do a full validation sync in the background.
This may look like a lot to review, but note that
- ~200 lines are a (non-essential) demo shell script
- Many lines are functional test, documentation, and relatively dilute RPC code.
So it shouldn't be as burdensome to review as the linecount might suggest.
- **P2P**: minor changes are made to `init.cpp` and `net_processing.cpp` to make simultaneous IBD across multiple chainstates work.
- **Pruning**: implement correct pruning behavior when using a background chainstate
- **Blockfile separation**: to prevent "fragmentation" in blockfile storage, have background chainstates use separate blockfiles from active snapshot chainstates to avoid interleaving heights and impairing pruning.
- **Indexing**: some `CValidationInterface` events are given with an additional parameter, ChainstateRole, and all indexers ignore events from ChainstateRole::ASSUMEDVALID so that indexation only happens sequentially.
- Have `-reindex` properly wipe snapshot chainstates.
- **RPC**: introduce RPC commands `loadtxoutset` and (hidden) `getchainstates`.
- **Release docs & first assumeutxo commitment**: add notes and a particular assumeutxo hash value for first AU-enabled release.
- This will complete the project and allow use of UTXO snapshots for faster node bootstrap.
The next phase, if it were to be pursued, would be coming up with a way to distribute the UTXO snapshots over the P2P network.

### UTXO snapshots
Create your own with `./contrib/devtools/utxo_snapshot.sh`, e.g.
```shell
./contrib/devtools/utxo_snapshot.sh 788000 utxo.dat ./src/bitcoin-cli -datadir=$(pwd)/testdata`)
```

### Testing
#### For fun (~5min)
If you want to do a quick test, you can run `./contrib/devtools/test_utxo_snapshots.sh` and follow the instructions. This is mostly obviated by the functional tests, though.
#### For real (longer)
If you'd like to experience a real usage of assumeutxo, you can do that too.
I've cut a new snapshot at height 788'000 (http://img.jameso.be/utxo-788000.dat - but you can do it yourself with `./contrib/devtools/utxo_snapshot.sh` if you want). Download that, and then create a datadir for testing:
```sh
$ cd ~/src/bitcoin # or whatever
# get the snapshot
$ curl http://img.jameso.be/utxo-788000.dat > utxo-788000.dat
# you'll want to do this if you like copy/pasting
$ export AU_DATADIR=/home/${USER}/au-test # or wherever
$ mkdir ${AU_DATADIR}
$ vim ${AU_DATADIR}/bitcoin.conf
dbcache=8000 # or, you know, something high
blockfilterindex=1
coinstatsindex=1
prune=3000
logthreadnames=1
```
Obtain this branch, build it, and then start bitcoind:
```sh
$ git remote add jamesob https://github.com/jamesob/bitcoin
$ git fetch jamesob assumeutxo
$ git checkout jamesob/assumeutxo
$ ./configure $conf_args && make # (whatever you like to do here)
# start 'er up and watch the logs
$ ./src/bitcoind -datadir=${AU_DATADIR}
```
Then, in some other window, load the snapshot
```sh
$ ./src/bitcoin-cli -datadir=${AU_DATADIR} loadtxoutset $(pwd)/utxo-788000.dat
```
You'll see some log messages about headers retrieval and waiting to see the snapshot in the headers chain. Once you get the full headers chain, you'll spend a decent amount of time (~10min) loading the snapshot, checking it, and flushing it to disk. After all that happens, you should be syncing to tip in pretty short order, and you'll see the occasional `[background validation]` log message go by.
In yet another window, you can check out chainstate status with
```sh
$ ./src/bitcoin-cli -datadir=${AU_DATADIR} getchainstates
```
as well as usual favorites like `getblockchaininfo`.

Pull request description:
Coming from [#28414 comment](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28414#pullrequestreview-1618684391) Same thing also for `descriptorprocesspsbt`.
Before this PR `descriptorprocesspsbt` returns a boolean `complete` which indicates that the psbt is final, users then have to call `finalizepsbt` to get the hex encoded network transaction.
In this PR if the psbt is complete the return object also has the hex encoded network transaction ready for broadcast with `sendrawtransaction`.
This save users calling `finalizepsbt` with the descriptor, if it is already complete.

e3d484b603 wallet rpc: return final tx hex from walletprocesspsbt if complete (Matthew Zipkin)
Pull request description:
See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28363#discussion_r1315753887
`walletprocesspsbt` currently returns a base64-encoded PSBT and a boolean indicating if the tx is "complete". If it is complete, the base64 PSBT can be finalized with `finalizepsbt` which returns the hex-encoded transaction suitable for `sendrawtransaction`.
With this patch, `walletprocesspsbt` return object will ALSO include the broadcast-able hex string if the tx is already final. This saves users the extra step of calling `finalizepsbt` assuming they have already inspected and approve the transaction from earlier steps.

Pull request description:
This PR proposes a clean up of the relationship between block storage and the chainstate objects, by moving the decision of whether to store a block on disk to something that is not chainstate-specific. Philosophically, the decision of whether to store a block on disk is related to validation rules that do not require any UTXO state; for anti-DoS reasons we were using some chainstate-specific heuristics, and those have been reworked here to achieve the proposed separation.
This PR also fixes a bug in how a chainstate's `setBlockIndexCandidates` was being initialized; it should always have all the HAVE_DATA block index entries that have more work than the chain tip. During startup, we were not fully populating `setBlockIndexCandidates` in some scenarios involving multiple chainstates.
Further, this PR establishes a concept that whenever we have 2 chainstates, that we always know the snapshotted chain's base block and the base block's hash must be an element of our block index. Given that, we can establish a new invariant that the background validation chainstate only needs to consider blocks leading to that snapshotted block entry as potential candidates for its tip. As a followup I would imagine that when writing net_processing logic to download blocks for the background chainstate, that we would use this concept to only download blocks towards the snapshotted entry as well.
