faa671591f test: Use self.wait_until over wait_until_helper (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
`wait_until_helper` is a "private" helper, not intended to be used directly, because it doesn't scale the timeout with the timeout factor. Fix this by replacing it with a call to `self.wait_until`, which does the scaling.

fe329dc936 test: Add test for getblockfrompeer on pruned nodes (Fabian Jahr)
cd761e6b2c rpc: Add note on guarantees to getblockfrompeer (Fabian Jahr)
Pull request description:
These are additions to `getblockfrompeer` that I already [suggested on the original PR](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/20295#pullrequestreview-817157738).
The two commits do the following:
1. Add a test for `getblockfrompeer` usage on pruned nodes. This is important because many use-cases for `getblockfrompeer` are in a context of a pruned node.
2. Add some information on how long the users of pruned nodes can expect the block to be available after they have used the RPC. I think the behavior is not very intuitive for users and I would not be surprised if users expect the block to be available indefinitely.

3fa1185dda github: Switch to yaml issue templates (willcl-ark)
Pull request description:
The new YAML templates provide more flexibility and can be designed to extract more information from users when submitting issues, avoiding initial back-and-forth when reports do not include enough background information to begin with.
Key differences:
* YAML format
* Allows us to require responses to certain questions
* Not currently compatible with GitLab (.md only)
This does keep the "Blank Issue" option at the bottom.
Testing this must be done with the master branch of the repo, which is slightly annoying for this repo. I have therefore pushed this to my own fork so that you can see the new templates, along with how the output is rendered in newly-created issues:
[github.com/willcl-ark/bitcoin/issues](https://github.com/willcl-ark/bitcoin/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc)
I did make some minor changes to some of the template wording, but this change could also be a good time to add/remove additional questions.
This seems like a net-positive for me, setting aside the issue that if we ever migrated away from GitHub these might have to be ported back to *.md (or something else), but that seems easy-enough that this change would be worth it.
Curious to know what others think of this, and whether they would suggest adding any other questions to any of the templates as part of this update?

Pull request description:
There may be a theoretical deadlock for the duration of the offset when the system clock is adjusted into a past time while executing `SeedStrengthen`.
Fix this by using steady clock.
Do the same in `FindBestImplementation`, which shouldn't be affected, because it discards outlier measurements. However, doing the same there for consistency seems fine.
Do the same in `FlushStateToDisk`, which should make the flushes more steady, if the system clock is adjusted by a large offset.

---
When a user activates a snapshot, the serialized UTXO set data is used to create an "assumed-valid" chainstate, which becomes active in an attempt to get the node to network tip as quickly as possible. Simultaneously in the background, the already-existing chainstate continues "conventional" IBD to both accumulate full block data and serve as a belt-and-suspenders to validate the assumed-valid chainstate.
Once the background chainstate's tip reaches the base block of the snapshot used, we set `m_stop_use` on that chainstate and immediately take the hash of its UTXO set; we verify that this matches the assumeutxo value in the source code. Note that while we ultimately want to remove this background chainstate, we don't do so until the following initialization process, when we again check the UTXO set hash of the background chainstate, and if it continues to match, we remove the (now unnecessary) background chainstate, and move the (previously) assumed-valid chainstate into its place. We then reinitialize the chainstate in the normal way.
As noted in previous comments, we could do the filesystem operations "inline" immediately when the background validation completes, but that's basically just an optimization that saves disk space until the next restart. It didn't strike me as worth the risk of moving chainstate data around on disk during runtime of the node, though maybe my concerns are overblown.
The final result of this completion process is a fully-validated chain, where the only evidence that the user synced using assumeutxo is the existence of a `base_blockhash` file in the `chainstate` directory.

Also adjusts the previous snapshot chainstate init tests
to account for the fact that the init process is now attempting to
validate and complete background chainstates whose tip is at the
snapshot base block. We use a DisconnectTip() hack to preserve the
nature of the test.
Trigger completion when a background validation chainstate reaches the
same height as a UTXO snapshot, and handle cleaning up the chainstate
on subsequent startup.

Add common InitConfig function to deduplicate bitcoind and bitcoin-qt code reading config files and creating the datadir.
Noticed the duplicate code while reviewing #27073 and want to remove it because difference in bitcoin-qt and bitcoind behavior make it hard to evaluate changes like #27073
There are a few minor changes in behavior:
- In bitcoin-qt, when there is a problem reading the configuration file, the GUI error text has changed from "Error: Cannot parse configuration file:" to "Error reading configuration file:" to be consistent with bitcoind.
- In bitcoind, when there is a problem reading the settings.json file, the error text has changed from "Failed loading settings file" to "Settings file could not be read" to be consistent with bitcoin-qt.
- In bitcoind, when there is a problem writing the settings.json file, the error text has changed from "Failed saving settings file" to "Settings file could not be written" to be consistent with bitcoin-qt.
- In bitcoin-qt, if there datadir is not accessible (e.g. no permission to read), there is an normal error dialog showing "Error: filesystem error: status: Permission denied [.../settings.json]", instead of an uncaught exception.

Pull request description:
The idea originates from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/24845#issuecomment-1130310321.
Note:
For clarity, it's recommended to start reviewing from the end result to understand the structure of the flow.
#### GroupOutputs function rationale:
If "Avoid Partial Spends" is enabled, the function gathers outputs with the same script together inside a container. So Coin Selection can treats them as if them were just one possible input and either select them all or not select them.
#### How the Inputs Fetch + Selection process roughly works:
```
1. Fetch user’s manually selected inputs.
2. Fetch wallet available coins (walks through the entire wallet txes map) and insert them into a set of vectors (each vector store outputs from a single type).
3. Coin Selection Process:
Call `AttemptSelection` 8 times. Each of them expands the coin eligibility filter (accepting a larger subset of coins in the calculation) until it founds a solutions or completely fails if no solutions gets founds after the 8 rounds.
Each `AttemptSelection` call performs the following actions:
- For each output type supported by the wallet (P2SH, P2PK, P2WPKH, P2WSH and a combination of all of them):
Call ‘ChooseSelectionResult’ providing the respective, filtered by type, coins vector. Which:
I. Groups the outputs vector twice (one for positive only and a second one who includes the negative ones as well).
- GroupOutputs walks-through the entire inputted coins vector one time at least, + more if we are avoiding partial spends, to generate a vector of OutputGroups.
II. Then performs every coin selection algorithm using the recently created vector of OutputGroup: (1) BnB, (2) knapsack and (3) SRD.
III. Then returns the best solution out of them.
```
We perform the general operation of gathering outputs, with the same script, into a single container inside:
Each coins selection attempt (8 times —> each coin eligibility filter), for each of the outputs vector who were filtered by type (plus another one joining all the outputs as well if needed), twice (one for the positive only outputs effective value and a second one for all of them).
So, in the worst case scenario where no solution is found after the 8 Coin Selection attempts, the `GroupOutputs` function is called 80 times (8 * 5 * 2).
#### Improvements:
This proposal streamlines the process so that the output groups, filtered by coin eligibility and type, are created in a single loop outside of the Coin Selection Process.
The new process is as follows:
```
1. Fetch user’s manually selected inputs.
2. Fetch wallet available coins.
3. Group outputs by each coin eligibility filter and each different output type found.
4. Coin Selection Process:
Call AttemptSelection 8 times. Each of them expands the coin eligibility filter (accepting different output groups) until it founds a solutions or completely fails if no solutions gets founds after the 8 rounds.
Each ‘AttemptSelection’ call performs the following actions:
- For each output type supported by the wallet (P2SH, P2PK, P2WPKH, P2WSH and all of them):
A. Call ‘ChooseSelectionResult’ providing the respective, filtered by type, output group. Which:
I. Performs every coin selection algorithm using the provided vector of OutputGroup: (1) BnB, (2) knapsack and (3) SRD.
II. Then returns the best solution out of them.
```
Extra Note:
The next steps after this PR will be to:
1) Merge `AvailableCoins` and `GroupOutputs` processes.
2) Skip entire coin selection rounds if no new coins are added into the subsequent round.
3) Remove global feerates from the OutputGroup class.
4) Remove secondary "grouped" tx creation from `CreateTransactionInternal` by running Coin Selection results over the aps grouped outputs vs non-aps ones.

4163093d63 wallet: use Mutex for g_sqlite_mutex instead of GlobalMutex (Vasil Dimov)
Pull request description:
Using `Mutex` provides stronger guarantee than `GlobalMutex` wrt Clang's
thread safety analysis. Thus it is better to reduce the usage of
`GlobalMutex` in favor of `Mutex`.
Using `Mutex` for `g_sqlite_mutex` is ok because its usage is limited in
`wallet/sqlite.cpp` and it does not require propagating the negative
annotations to not relevant code.

Optimizes coin selection by performing the "group outputs"
procedure only once, outside the "attempt selection" process.
Avoiding the repeated execution of the 'GroupOutputs' operation
that occurs on each coin eligibility filters (up to 8 of them);
then for every coin vector type plus one for all the coins together.
This also let us not perform coin selection over coin eligibility
filtered groups that don't add new elements.
(because, if the previous round failed, and the subsequent one has
the same coins, then this new round will fail again).
The 'GroupOutputs()' function performs the same
calculations for only-positive and mixed groups,
the only difference is that when we look for
only-positive groups, we discard negative utxos.
So, instead of wasting resources calling GroupOutputs()
for positive-only first, then call it again to include
the negative ones in the result, we can execute
GroupOutputs() only once, including in the response
both group types (positive-only and mixed).
The following scenarios are covered:
1) 10 UTXO with the same script:
partial spends is enabled --> outputs must not be grouped.
2) 10 UTXO with the same script:
partial spends disabled --> outputs must be grouped.
3) 20 UTXO, 10 one from scriptA + 10 from scriptB:
a) if partial spends is enabled --> outputs must not be grouped.
b) if partial spends is not enabled --> 2 output groups expected (one per script).
3) Try to add a negative output (value - fee < 0):
a) if "positive_only" is enabled --> negative output must be skipped.
b) if "positive_only" is disabled --> negative output must be added.
4) Try to add a non-eligible UTXO (due not fulfilling the min depth target for
"not mine" UTXOs) --> it must not be added to any group
5) Try to add a non-eligible UTXO (due not fulfilling the min depth target for
"mine" UTXOs) --> it must not be added to any group
6) Surpass the 'OUTPUT_GROUP_MAX_ENTRIES' size and verify that a second partial
group gets created.
8847ce44e0 util: add missing include and fix function signature (Cory Fields)
Pull request description:

Discovered while testing pre-compiled header support with CMake: https://github.com/theuni/bitcoin/commits/cmake-pch-poc. Compilation of that branch fails without this fix and succeeds with it.
Similar to the fix in #27144.
The problem of having a default argument in the definition was masked by the missing include. Using PCH forces that include, so we end up with the compiler error we should've been getting all along.

And not hide it inside the `OutputGroup::Insert` method.
This method does not return anything if insertion fails.
We can know before calling `Insert` whether the coin
will be accepted or not.
545ff924ab refactor: use string_view for RPC named argument values (stickies-v)
7727603e44 refactor: reduce unnecessary complexity in ParseNonRFCJSONValue (stickies-v)
1d02e59901 test: add cases to JSON parsing (stickies-v)
Pull request description:
Inspired by MarcoFalke's [comment](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26506#discussion_r1036149426). Main purpose of this PR is to minimize copying (potentially large) RPC named arguments when calling `.substr()` by using `std::string_view` instead of `std::string`. Furthermore, cleans up the code by removing unnecessary complexity in `ParseNonRFCJSONValue()` (done first to avoid refactoring required to concatenate `string` and `string_view`), updates some naming and adds a few test cases. Should not introduce any behaviour change.
## Questions
- ~Was there actually any merit to `ParseNonRFCJSONValue()` surrounding the value with brackets and then parsing it as an array? I don't see it, and the new approach doesn't fail any tests. Still a bit suspicious about it though.~
- Cleared up by https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26506#pullrequestreview-1211984059
- If there are no objections to 7727603e44, I think we should follow up with a PR to rename `ParseNonRFCJSONValue()` to a local `Parse()` helper function (that throws if invalid), remove it from `client.h` and merge the test coverage we currently have on `ParseNonRFCJSONValue()` with the coverage we have on `UniValue::read()`.

Add common InitConfig function to deduplicate bitcoind and bitcoin-qt code
reading config files and creating the datadir.
There are a few minor changes in behavior:
- In bitcoin-qt, when there is a problem reading the configuration file, the
GUI error text has changed from "Error: Cannot parse configuration file:" to
"Error reading configuration file:" to be consistent with bitcoind.
- In bitcoind, when there is a problem reading the settings.json file, the
error text has changed from "Failed loading settings file" to "Settings
file could not be read" to be consistent with bitcoin-qt.
- In bitcoind, when there is a problem writing the settings.json file, the
error text has changed from "Failed saving settings file" to "Settings file
could not be written" to be consistent with bitcoin-qt.
- In bitcoin-qt, if there datadir is not accessible (e.g. no permission to read),
there is an normal error dialog showing "Error: filesystem error: status:
Permission denied [.../settings.json]", instead of an uncaught exception
