63a8791e15 contrib: fix BUILDDIR in gen-bitcoin-conf script and gen-manpages.py (jurraca)
Pull request description:
The `gen-bitcoin-conf.sh` and `gen-manpages.py` scripts assume a top level `src/` build dir, but in-tree builds are no longer allowed, nor recommended in the build steps. If a user builds `bitcoind` as recommended, these scripts fail. To fix it, we update the `BUILDDIR` env var and update the README accordingly.
Follows up on initial work and discussion in #31332 .

4080b66cbe test: add test for utxo-to-sqlite conversion script (Sebastian Falbesoner)
ec99ed7380 contrib: add tool to convert compact-serialized UTXO set to SQLite database (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
## Problem description
There is demand from users to get the UTXO set in form of a SQLite database (#24628). Bitcoin Core currently only supports dumping the UTXO set in a binary _compact-serialized_ format, which was crafted specifically for AssumeUTXO snapshots (see PR #16899), with the primary goal of being as compact as possible. Previous PRs tried to extend the `dumptxoutset` RPC with new formats, either in human-readable form (e.g. #18689, #24202), or most recently, directly as SQLite database (#24952). Both are not optimal: due to the huge size of the ever-growing UTXO set with already more than 80 million entries on mainnet, human-readable formats are practically useless, and very likely one of the first steps would be to put them in some form of database anyway. Directly adding SQLite3 dumping support on the other hand introduces an additional dependency to the non-wallet part of bitcoind and the risk of increased maintenance burden (see e.g. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/24952#issuecomment-1163551060, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/24628#issuecomment-1108469715).
## Proposed solution
This PR follows the "external tooling" route by adding a simple Python script for achieving the same goal in a two-step process (first create compact-serialized UTXO set via `dumptxoutset`, then convert it to SQLite via the new script). Executive summary:
- single file, no extra dependencies (sqlite3 is included in Python's standard library [1])
- ~150 LOC, mostly deserialization/decompression routines ported from the Core codebase and (probably the most difficult part) a little elliptic curve / finite field math to decompress pubkeys (essentialy solving the secp256k1 curve equation y^2 = x^3 + 7 for y given x, respecting the proper polarity as indicated by the compression tag)
- creates a database with only one table `utxos` with the following schema:
```(txid TEXT, vout INT, value INT, coinbase INT, height INT, scriptpubkey TEXT)```
- the resulting file has roughly 2x the size of the compact-serialized UTXO set (this is mostly due to encoding txids and scriptpubkeys as hex-strings rather than bytes)
[1] note that there are some rare cases of operating systems like FreeBSD though, where the sqlite3 module has to installed explicitly (see #26819)
A functional test is also added that creates UTXO set entries with various output script types (standard and also non-standard, for e.g. large scripts) and verifies that the UTXO sets of both formats match by comparing corresponding MuHashes. One MuHash is supplied by the bitcoind instance via `gettxoutsetinfo muhash`, the other is calculated in the test by reading back the created SQLite database entries and hashing them with the test framework's `MuHash3072` module.
## Manual test instructions
I'd suggest to do manual tests also by comparing MuHashes. For that, I've written a go tool some time ago which would calculate the MuHash of a sqlite database in the created format (I've tried to do a similar tool in Python, but it's painfully slow).
```
$ [run bitcoind instance with -coinstatsindex]
$ ./src/bitcoin-cli dumptxoutset ~/utxos.dat
$ ./src/bitcoin-cli gettxoutsetinfo muhash <block height returned in previous call>
(outputs MuHash calculated from node)
$ ./contrib/utxo-tools/utxo_to_sqlite.py ~/utxos.dat ~/utxos.sqlite
$ git clone https://github.com/theStack/utxo_dump_tools
$ cd utxo_dump_tools/calc_utxo_hash
$ go run calc_utxo_hash.go ~/utxos.sqlite
(outputs MuHash calculated from the SQLite UTXO set)
=> verify that both MuHashes are equal
```
For a demonstration what can be done with the resulting database, see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/24952#pullrequestreview-956290477 for some example queries. Thanks go to LarryRuane who gave me to the idea of rewriting this script in Python and adding it to `contrib`.

These scripts are becoming more of nuisance, than a value-add;
particularly since we've been building releases using Guix. Adding new
(release bin) tests can be harder, because it requires constructing a
failing test, which is becoming less easy e.g trying to disable a
feature or protection that has been built into the compiler/toolchain by
default.
In the pre-Guix days, these were valuable to sanity-check the environment,
because we were pulling that pre-built from Ubuntu, with little control.
At this point, it's less clear what these scripts are (sanity) checking.
Note that these also weren't completely ported to CMake (#31698), see
also #31715 which contains other fixes that would be needed for these
test-tests, to accomodate future changes.
the cmake build steps suggest a build/ directory, which breaks these
scripts. Additionally, in-tree builds are no longer allowed, so it makes
sense to update the code and the README accordingly.

411c6cfc6c tracing: only prepare tracepoint args if attached (0xb10c)
d524c1ec06 tracing: dedup TRACE macros & rename to TRACEPOINT (0xb10c)
Pull request description:
Currently, if the tracepoints are compiled (e.g. in depends and release builds), we always prepare the tracepoint arguments regardless of the tracepoints being used or not. We made sure that the argument preparation is as cheap as possible, but we can almost completely eliminate any overhead for users not interested in the tracepoints (the vast majority), by gating the tracepoint argument preparation with an `if(something is attached to this tracepoint)`. To achieve this, we use the optional semaphore feature provided by SystemTap.
The first commit simplifies and deduplicates our tracepoint macros from 13 TRACEx macros to a single TRACEPOINT macro. This makes them easier to use and also avoids more duplicate macro definitions in the second commit.
The Linux tracing tools I'm aware of (bcc, bpftrace, libbpf, and systemtap) all support the semaphore gating feature. Thus, all existing tracepoints and their argument preparation is gated in the second commit. For details, please refer to the commit messages and the updated documentation in `doc/tracing.md`.
Also adding unit tests that include all tracepoint macros to make sure there are no compiler problems with them (e.g. some varadiac extension not supported).
Reviewers might want to check:
- Do the tracepoints still work for you? Do the examples in `contrib/tracing/` run on your system (as bpftrace frequently breaks on every new version, please test master too if it should't work for you)? Do the CI interface tests still pass?
- Is the new documentation clear?
- The `TRACEPOINT_SEMAPHORE(event, context)` macros places global variables in our global namespace. Is this something we strictly want to avoid or maybe move to all `TRACEPOINT_SEMAPHORE`s to a separate .cpp file or even namespace? I like having the `TRACEPOINT_SEMAPHORE()` in same file as the `TRACEPOINT()`, but open for suggestion on alternative approaches.
- Are newly added tracepoints in the unit tests visible when using `readelf -n build/src/test/test_bitcoin`? You can run the new unit tests with `./build/src/test/test_bitcoin --run_test=util_trace_tests* --log_level=all`.
<details><summary>Two of the added unit tests demonstrate that we are only processing the tracepoint arguments when attached by having a test-failure condition in the tracepoint argument preparation. The following bpftrace script can be used to demonstrate that the tests do indeed fail when attached to the tracepoints.</summary>

```c

While we will only outwardly support Windows 10+, due to an issue in
mingw-w64, we can't set the *-subsystem-version values higher than to
target Windows 8, so do that as a best effort.
BCC needs the PID of a bitcoind process to attach to the tracepoints
(instead of the binary path used before) when the tracepoints have a
semaphore.
For reference, we already use the PID in our tracepoint interface
tests. See 220a5a2841.

cd0edf26c0 tracing: cast block_connected duration to nanoseconds (0xb10c)
Pull request description:
When the `validation:block_connected` tracepoint was introduced in 8f37f5c2a5, the connect block duration was passed in microseconds `µs`. By starting to use steady clock in fabf1cdb20 this changed to nanoseconds `ns`. As the test only checked if the duration value is `> 0` as a plausibility check, this went unnoticed. This was detected this when setting up monitoring for block validation time as part of the Great Consensus Cleanup Revival discussion.
This change casts the duration explicitly to nanoseconds, updates the documentation, and adds a check for an upper bound to the tracepoint interface tests. The upper bound is quite lax as mining the block takes much longer than connecting the empty test block. It's however able to detect a duration passed in an incorrect unit (1000x off).
A previous version of this PR casted the duration to microseconds `µs` - however, as the last three major releases have had the duration as nanoseconds (and this went unnoticed), we assume that this is the API now and changeing it back to microseconds would break the API again.

fa2b7d8d6b Remove redundant unterminated-logprintf tidy check (MarcoFalke)
bbbb2e43ee log: Enforce trailing newline, Remove redundant m_started_new_line (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
There are many problems around missing a trailing newline while logging:
* All log lines are currently terminated by a trailing newline. This means any runtime code trying to handle a "missing" newline is currently dead code.
* Leaving a line unterminated is racy and can cause content corruption by mixing log lines from different sources.
* It requires extra code like `m_started_new_line` to keep track of, which is annoying and pointless to maintain, because it is currently dead code, see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30386#discussion_r1684380835.
* It requires a standalone `unterminated-logprintf` clang-tidy plugin, which is unmaintained (no one updated it for the new log function names), probably harder to maintain than normal C++ code (because it requires clang AST matcher knowledge), brittle (it can fail to detect issues at any time, if it goes out-of-sync, or be explicitly disabled via `NOLINT`), and annoying for devs (it is slow and intricate to run locally and thus only effectively run on CI or via the CI scripts).
Fix all issues by enforcing the trailing newline in logs directly in the code. Then remove all the other stuff.
This refactor does not change behavior.

fd38711217 ci: make CI job fail when check-deps.sh script fails (Ryan Ofsky)
d51edecddc common: move pcp.cpp and netif.cpp files from util to common library since they depend on netaddress.cpp (Ryan Ofsky)
Pull request description:
Move util/pcp.cpp and util/netif.cpp to common/ because they depend on netaddress.cpp which is part of the common library. This was causing check-deps.sh script to fail as reported by _fanquake_ in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30415#issuecomment-2385475097.
Also make CI fail when the `check-deps.sh` script fails. Previously it would output errors but not cause the job to fail (which was not intended).

Previously the check-deps.sh would write information about unexpected
dependencies to stderr, but return exit code 0, so the error would be ignored
by CI. Now it will return code 1 and cause CI to fail if unexpected
dependencies are detected.
