Merge #19731: net, rpc: expose nLastBlockTime/nLastTXTime as last block/last_transaction in getpeerinfo 
5da96210fc doc: release note for getpeerinfo last_block/last_transaction (Jon Atack)

21c57bacda test: getpeerinfo last_block and last_transaction tests (Jon Atack)
8a560a7d57 rpc: expose nLastBlockTime/TXTime as getpeerinfo last_block/transaction (Jon Atack)
02fbe3ae0b net: add nLastBlockTime/TXTime to CNodeStats, CNode::copyStats (Jon Atack)

Pull request description:

  This PR adds inbound peer eviction criteria `nLastBlockTime` and `nLastTXTime` to `CNodeStats` and `CNode::copyStats`, which then allows exposing them in the next commit as `last_transaction` and `last_block` Unix Epoch Time fields in RPC `getpeerinfo`.

  This may be useful for writing missing eviction tests. I'd also like to add `lasttx` and `lastblk` columns to the `-netinfo` dashboard as described in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19643#issuecomment-671093420.

  Relevant discussion at the p2p irc meeting http://www.erisian.com.au/bitcoin-core-dev/log-2020-08-11.html#l-549:
  ```text
  <jonatack> i was specifically trying to observe and figure out how to test https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/19500
  <jonatack> which made me realise that i didn't know what was going on with my peer conns in enough detail
  <jonatack> i'm running bitcoin locally with nLastBlockTime and nLastTXTime added to getpeerinfo for my peer connections dashboard
  <jonatack> sipa: is there a good reason why that (eviction criteria) data is not exposed through getpeerinfo currently?
  <sipa> jonatack: nope; i suspect just nobody ever added it
  <jonatack> sipa: thanks. will propose.
  ```

  The last commit is optional, but I think it would be good to have logging in `rpc_net.py`.

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.
