Allows easy integration with mining software that expects either
a "_target" (Namecoin) or a "target" (Dogecoin) field when
creating auxpow blocks using the -rpcnamecoinapi startup arg.
This saves pools effort in integrating the API they need whenever
a new Dogecoin Core release comes out.
- RPC caching source cherry-picked from: btccom@f4b613b2
- Adds addl test scenarios to createauxblock.py tests
Allows pool operators to run multiple sub-pools with different
target addresses from a single dogecoind instance. Without this
enhancement, subsequent calls to createauxblock with differing
addresses ignore the address given and instead just return the
block containing the address that initially triggered generation
of the cached block. This can quickly lead to unpredictable
results as race scenarios between sub-pools come into play.
Note that, like with getauxblock, the cache only resets on aux
block creation, not submission, so submitauxblock will accept
multiple submissions at the same height until createauxblock is
called, resulting in chaintip forks.

Adds back Namecoin's createauxblock and submitauxblock rpc methods
to allow easier integration for mining pools that wish to reuse
existing implementations of Namecoin/Bitcoin merge mining.
Cherry-picked from: michilumin@1c5b9b33
Changes post-pick:
- Fixed issue with erroneously moved LOCK in getauxblock
- Disabled mining of witness tx as done for getauxblock
- Fixed indentation, increasing readability and fixing warnings
- Follow Dogecoin API for "target" instead of "_target"
- Remove personal comments
Fix pruneheight help text.
Move fPruneMode block to match output ordering with help text.
Add functional tests for new fields in getblockchaininfo.
Rebase-from: bitcoin#b7dfc6c4
* Make most of the RPC tests pass
* Add AUXPoW rpc tests
- Tests the auxpow rpc interface `getauxblock`
- Tests consensus constraints for auxpow:
- Minimum block height
- Valid scrypt proof of work
- Foreign chain ID
* Modify chain consensus parameters to be height aware
* Correct implementation of simplified rewards in parameters
* Correct max money
* Use base block version in IsSuperMajority() instead of full version
* Correct mining of blocks in AuxPoW tests
* Add in missing pre-AuxPoW consensus checks
Changes are as below:
Wrap CBlockHeader::nVersion into a new class (CBlockVersion). This allows to take care of interpreting the field into a base version, auxpow flag and the chain ID.
Update getauxblock.py for new 'generate' RPC call.
Add 'auxpow' to block JSON.
Accept auxpow as PoW verification.
Add unit tests for auxpow verification.
Add check for memory-layout of CBlockVersion.
Weaken auxpow chain ID checks for the testnet.
Allow Params() to overrule when to check the auxpow chain ID and for legacy blocks. Use this to disable the checks on testnet.
Introduce CPureBlockHeader.
Split the block header part that is used by auxpow and the "real" block header (that uses auxpow) to resolve the cyclic dependency between the two.
Differentiate between uint256 and arith_uint256.
This change was done upstream, modify the auxpow code.
Add missing lock in auxpow_tests.
Fix REST header check for auxpow headers.
Those can be longer, thus take that into account. Also perform the check actually on an auxpow header.
Correctly set the coinbase for getauxblock results.
Call IncrementExtraNonce in getauxblock so that the coinbase is actually initialised with the stuff it should be. (BIP30 block height and COINBASE_FLAGS.)
Implement getauxblock plus regression test.
Turn auxpow test into FIXTURE test.
This allows using of the Params() calls.
Move CMerkleTx code to auxpow.cpp.
Otherwise we get linker errors when building without wallet.
Fix rebase with BIP66.
Update the code to handle BIP66's nVersion=3.
Enforce that auxpow parent blocks have no auxpow block version.
This is for compatibility with namecoind. See also https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin/pull/199.
Move auxpow-related parameters to Consensus::Params.
The setban() RPC was returning misleading or incorrect error
codes (for example RPC_CLIENT_NODE_ALREADY_ADDED when an invalid IP
address was entered). This commit fixes those error codes:
- RPC_CLIENT_INVALID_IP_OR_SUBNET should be returned if the client
enters an invalid IP address or subnet.
This commit also updates the test cases to explicitly test the error code.
This commit also adds a testcase for trying to setban on an invalid subnet.

RPCs in blockchain.cpp were returning misleading or incorrect error
codes (for example getblock() returning RPC_INTERNAL_ERROR when the
block had been pruned). This commit fixes those error codes:
- RPC_INTERNAL_ERROR should not be returned for application-level
errors, only for genuine internal errors such as corrupted data.
- RPC_METHOD_NOT_FOUND should not be returned in response to a
JSON request for an existing method.
Those error codes have been replaced with RPC_MISC_ERROR or
RPC_INVALID_PARAMETER as appropriate.

There is no point in even hashing a submitted block which doesn't have
a coinbase transaction.
This also results in more useful error reporting on corrupted input.
Thanks to rawodb for the bug report.

Segwit's version bit will be signalled for all invocations of CreateNewBlock,
and not specifying segwit only will cause CreateNewBlock to skip transactions
with witness from being selected.

When importing a watch-only address over importmulti with a specific timestamp,
the wallet's nTimeFirstKey is currently set to 1. After this change, the
provided timestamp will be used and stored as metadata associated with
watch-only key. This can improve wallet performance because it can avoid the
need to scan the entire blockchain for watch only addresses when timestamps are
provided.
Also adds timestamp to validateaddress return value (needed for tests).
Fixes#9034.
This silently skips trying to merge signatures from inputs which
do not exist from transactions provided to signrawtransaction,
instead of hitting an assert.
