Merge #21007: bitcoind: Add -daemonwait option to wait for initialization 
e017a913d0 bitcoind: Add -daemonwait option to wait for initialization (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
c3e6fdee6d shutdown: Use RAII TokenPipe in shutdown (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
612f746a8f util: Add RAII TokenPipe (Wladimir J. van der Laan)

Pull request description:

  This adds a `-daemonwait` flag that does the same as `-daemon` except that it, from a user perspective, backgrounds the process only after initialization is complete. This is similar to the behaviour of some other software such as c-lightning.

  This can be useful when the process launching bitcoind wants to guarantee that either the RPC server is running, or that initialization failed, before continuing. The exit code indicates the initialization result.

  The use of the libc function `daemon()` is replaced by a custom implementation which is inspired by the [glibc implementation](https://github.com/lattera/glibc/blob/master/misc/daemon.c#L44), but which also creates a pipe from the child to the parent process for communication.

  An additional advantage of having our own `daemon()` implementation is that no MACOS-specific pragmas are needed anymore to silence a deprecation warning.

  TODO:

  - [x] Factor out `token_read` and `token_write` to an utility, and use  them in `shutdown.cpp` as well—this is exactly the same kind of communication mechanism.

      - [x] RAII-ify pipe endpoints.

  - [x] Improve granularity of the `configure.ac` checks. This currently  still checks for the function `daemon()` which makes no sense as  it's not used. It should check for individual functions such as
    `fork()` and `setsid()` etc—the former being required, the second optional.

  - [-] ~~Signal propagation during initialization: if say, pressing Ctrl-C during `-daemonwait` it would be good to pass this SIGINT on to the child process instead of detaching the parent process and letting the child run free.~~ This is not necessary, see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21007#issuecomment-769007341.

  Future:

  - Consider if it makes sense to use this in the RPC tests (there would be no more need for "is RPC ready" polling loops). I think this is out of scope for this PR.

Further information about Bitcoin Core is available in the doc folder.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information read the original Bitcoin whitepaper.

License

Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
