Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#27625: p2p: Stop relaying non-mempool txs
faa2976a56 Remove mapRelay (MarcoFalke)
fccecd75fe net_processing: relay txs from m_most_recent_block (Anthony Towns)

Pull request description:

  `mapRelay` (used to relay announced transactions that are no longer in the mempool) has issues:

  * It doesn't have an absolute memory limit, only an implicit one based on the rate of transaction announcements
  * <strike>It doesn't have a use-case</strike> EDIT: see below

  Fix all issues by removing `mapRelay`.

  For more context, on why a transaction may have been removed from the mempool, see c2f2abd0a4/src/txmempool.h (L228-L238)

  For my rationale on why it is fine to not relay them:

  Reason | | Rationale
  -- | -- | --
  `EXPIRY` | Expired from mempool | Mempool expiry is by default 2 weeks and can not be less than 1 hour, so a transaction can not be in `mapRelay` while expiring, unless a re-broadcast happened. This should be fine, because the transaction will be re-added to the mempool and potentially announced/relayed on the next re-broadcast.
  `SIZELIMIT` | Removed in size limiting | A low fee transaction, which will be relayed by a different peer after `GETDATA_TX_INTERVAL` or after we sent a `notfound` message. Assuming it ever made it to another peer, otherwise it will happen on re-broadcast (same as with `EXPIRY` above).
  `REORG` | Removed for reorganization | Block races are rare, so reorgs should be rarer. Also, the transaction is likely to be re-accepted via the `disconnectpool` later on. If not, it seems fine to let the originating wallet deal with rebroadcast in this case.
  `BLOCK` | Removed for block | EDIT: Needed for compact block relay, see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27625#issuecomment-1544047433
  `CONFLICT` | Removed for conflict with in-block transaction | The peer won't be able to add the tx to the mempool anyway, unless it is on a different block, in which case it seems fine to let the originating wallet take care of the rebroadcast (if needed).
  `REPLACED` | Removed for replacement | EDIT: Also needed for compact block relay, see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27625#issuecomment-1544171255 ?

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree

https://bitcoincore.org

For an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/.

What is Bitcoin Core?

Bitcoin Core connects to the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network to download and fully validate blocks and transactions. It also includes a wallet and graphical user interface, which can be optionally built.

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

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.
