Merge #19405: rpc, cli: add network in/out connections to getnetworkinfo and -getinfo
581b343d5b Add in/out connections to cli -getinfo (Jon Atack)
d9cc13e88d UNIX_EPOCH_TIME fixup in rpc getnettotals (Jon Atack)
1ab49b81cf Add in/out connections to rpc getnetworkinfo (Jon Atack)

Pull request description:

  This is basic info that is present in the GUI that I've been wishing to have exposed via the RPC and CLI without needing a bash workaround or script. For human users it would also be useful to have it in `-getinfo`.

  `bitcoin-cli getnetworkinfo`
  ```
    "connections": 15,
    "connections_in": 6,
    "connections_out": 9,
  ```

  `bitcoin-cli -getinfo`
  ```
    "connections": {
      "in": 6,
      "out": 9,
      "total": 15
    },
  ```

  Update the tests, RPC help, and release notes for the changes. Also fixup the `getnettotals` timemillis help while touching `rpc/net.cpp`.

  -----

  Reviewers can manually test this PR by [building from source](https://jonatack.github.io/articles/how-to-compile-bitcoin-core-and-run-the-tests), launching bitcoind, and then running `bitcoin-cli -getinfo`, `bitcoin-cli getnetworkinfo`, `bitcoin-cli help getnetworkinfo`, and `bitcoin-cli help getnettotals` (for the UNIX epoch time change).

Bitcoin Core

Setup

Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.

Running

The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.

Unix

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

  • bin/bitcoin-qt (GUI) or
  • bin/bitcoind (headless)

Windows

Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.

macOS

Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
