Merge #18070: doc: add note about brew doctor
63ce882760 doc: link to homebrew's troubleshooting page (Gastón I. Silva)

Pull request description:

  A trivial documentation update.

  When I was following the build steps for mac, I had some errors installing the dependencies. After searching on the Internet, and correcting the errors, I found that `brew doctor` had all the answers I needed. Could have skipped the Internet searches all together.

  fanquake:
    ACK 63ce882760 - a link to the troubleshooting page seems fine. I wouldn't really want our README to have anything more specific than that.

Merge #18122: rpc: update validateaddress RPCExamples to bech32
7f1475c711 rpc: update validateaddress RPCExamples to bech32 (Sebastian Falbesoner)

Pull request description:

  Another small step to get rid of legacy addresses in the RPC help texts and by that encourage the use of bech32 addresses by default. The (invalid) address is the same as in the `getaddressinfo` RPC (see 2ee0cb3330, kudos to jonatack!), I don't think it adds any value to have a different example address per RPC.

fa55a2554c depends: Remove reference to win32 (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  Closes #17504

  Now that we no longer provide downloads for i686 on our website (https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/), there is no need to build them by default.

  i686 can still be built in depends (tested by ci/travis) and in guix/gitian by setting the appropriate `HOSTS`.

Pull request description:

  This updates leveldb to currently newest upstream commit 0c40829872:

  - CRC32C hardware acceleration is now an external library [crc32c](https://github.com/google/crc32c). This adds acceleration on ARM, and should be faster on x86 because of using prefetch. It also makes it easy to support similar instruction sets on other platforms in the future.
  - Thread handling uses C++11, instead of platform specific code.
  - Native windows environment was added. No need to maintain our own hacky one, anymore.
  - Upstream now builds using CMake. This doesn't mean we need to use that (phew), but internal configuration changed to a a series of checks, instead of OS profiles. This means the blanket error "Cannot build leveldb for $host. Please file a bug report' is removed.

  All changes: a53934a3ae...0c40829872

  Pretty much all our changes have been subsumed by upstream, so we figured it was cleaner to start over with a new branch from upstream with the still-relevant patches applied: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/leveldb/tree/bitcoin-fork-new

  There's quite some testing to be done (see below). See https://github.com/bitcoin-core/leveldb/issues/25 and https://github.com/bitcoin-core/leveldb/pull/26 for more history and context.

  TODO:
  - [x] Subtree `crc32c`
  - [x] Make linters happy about crc32 subtree
  - [x] Integrate `crc32c` library into build system
  - [x] MSVC build system

  This PR builds on #17578 (now merged) and deprecates the rpc getaddressinfo `label` field. The deprecated behavior can be re-enabled by starting bitcoind with `-deprecatedrpc=label`.

  See http://www.erisian.com.au/bitcoin-core-dev/log-2019-11-22.html#l-622 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17283#issuecomment-554458001 for more context.

  Reviewers: This PR may be tested manually by building, then running bitcoind with and without the `-deprecatedrpc=label` flag while verifying the rpc getaddressinfo output and help text.

  Next step: add support for multiple labels.

Merge #17942: doc: Improve fuzzing docs for macOS users
b6c3e84e87 doc: Improve fuzzing docs for macOS users (Fabian Jahr)

Pull request description:

  Adds several helpful hints for macOS users trying to get fuzzers to run locally using AFL or libFuzzer. These are partly based on this comment https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/17657#issuecomment-562869600 and discussions in the review club for #17860. See: https://bitcoincore.reviews/17860.html

  Based on the doc in the current state I could not compile fuzzers for AFL or libFuzzer. Using these hints, I can
  - compile and run fuzzers with AFL
  - compile but **not** run fuzzers with libFuzzer

  Fuzzers compiled with libFuzzers may be running but don't produce any output. Looking for others to test this to see if it is an issue with my local system. Especially interesting if you have been running libFuzzer fuzzers successfully on macOS before.

  Edit: Closes #17914

60aba1f2f1 rpc: simplify getaddressinfo labels, deprecate previous behavior (Jon Atack)
7851f14ccf rpc: incorporate review feedback from PR 17283 (Jon Atack)

Pull request description:

  This PR builds on #17283 (now merged) and is followed by #17585.

  It modifies the value returned by rpc getaddressinfo `labels` to an array of label name strings and deprecates the previous behavior of returning an array of JSON hash structures containing label `name` and address `purpose` key/value pairs.

  before
  ```
    "labels": [
      {
        "name": "DOUBLE SPEND",
        "purpose": "receive"
      }
  ```
  after
  ```
    "labels": [
      "DOUBLE SPEND"
    ]
  ```

  The deprecated behavior can be re-enabled by starting bitcoind with `-deprecatedrpc=labelspurpose`.

  For context, see:
  - https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17283#issuecomment-554458001
  - http://www.erisian.com.au/bitcoin-core-dev/log-2019-12-13.html#l-425 (lines 425-427)
  - http://www.erisian.com.au/bitcoin-core-dev/log-2019-11-22.html#l-622

  Reviewers: This PR may be tested manually by building, then running bitcoind with and without the `-deprecatedrpc=labelspurpose` flag while verifying the rpc getaddressinfo help text and `labels` output.

  Next steps: deprecate the rpc getaddressinfo `label` field (EDIT: done in #17585) and add support for multiple labels per address. This PR will unblock those.

Merge #17567: gui: remove macOS start on login code
27d82b63fb gui: remove macOS start on login code (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  The macOS startup item code was disabled for builds targeting macOS >
  `10.11` in #15208. Now that we require macOS `10.12` as a minimum (#17550),
  we can remove the startup item code entirely. The API we were using, `LSSharedFileListItemCopyResolvedURL`, `LSSharedFileListCopySnapshot` etc,
  was removed in macOS `10.12` SDK.

16a7be1663 build: Bump minimum versions in symbol checker (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
b77d5ad59f build: Disallow dynamic linking against c++ library (Wladimir J. van der Laan)

Pull request description:

  Closes: #17525. Taken over from #17531.

  Debian 8 (Jessie) has:
  - g++ version 4.9.2
  - libc version 2.19

  CentOS 7 has:
  - g++ version 4.8.5
  - libc version 2.17

  Ubuntu 16.04.4 (Xenial, oldest supported Ubuntu) has:
  - g++ version 5.3.1
  - libc version 2.23.0

  Taking the minimum of these as our target. According to [GNU ABI document](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/abi.html) this corresponds to:

  - GCC 4.8.5: GCC_4.8.0
  - (glibc)    GLIBC_2_17

  This also contains a (long needed) commit to disallow dynamic linking to stdc++, as our releases statically link against that.
