Fuzzing code uses C++17 specific code (e.g. std::optional), so it is not
possible to compile with --enable-fuzz and without --enable-c++17.
Thus, turn on --enable-c++17 whenever --enable-fuzz is used.

d15db4b1fc refactor: Fix unreachable code in init arg checks (Jonathan Schoeller)
Pull request description:
Closes: #19017
In #19015 it's been suggested that we add some new compiler warnings to our build. Some of these, such as `-Wunreachable-code-loop-increment`, generate warnings. We'll likely want to fix these up if we're going to turn these warnings on.
```shell
init.cpp:969:5: warning: loop will run at most once (loop increment never executed) [-Wunreachable-code-loop-increment]
for (const auto& arg : gArgs.GetUnsuitableSectionOnlyArgs()) {
^~~
1 warning generated.
```
aa8d76806c/src/init.cpp (L968-L972)
To fix this, collect all errors, and output them in a single error message after the loop completes. This resolves the unreachable code warning, and avoids popup hell that could result from outputting a seperate message for each error or warning one by one.

While emoji and other symbols in C++ identifers (as accepted by newer
compilers) are fun, they might create confusion during code review, for
example because some symbols look very similar. Forbid such extended
identifiers for now.
This is done by providing `-fno-extended-identifiers`. Thanks to sipa
for suggesting this compiler flag.

Pull request description:
This PR is part of the [process separation project](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/10).
---
This PR consists of build changes only. It adds an `--enable-multiprocess` autoconf option (off by default and marked experimental), that builds new `bitcoin-node` and `bitcoin-gui` binaries. These currently function the same as existing `bitcoind` and `bitcoin-qt` binaries, but are extended in #10102 with IPC features to execute node, wallet, and gui functions in separate processes.
In addition to adding the `--enable-multiprocess` config flag, it also adds a depends package and autoconf rules to build with the [libmultiprocess](https://github.com/chaincodelabs/libmultiprocess) library, and it adds new travis configuration to exercise the build code and run functional tests with the new binaries.
The changes in this PR were originally part of #10102 but were moved into #16367 to be able to develop and review the multiprocess build changes independently of the code changes. #16367 was briefly merged and then reverted in #18588. Only change since #16367 has been dropping the `native_boost.mk` depends package which was pointed out to be no longer necessary in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16367#issuecomment-596484337 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18588#pullrequestreview-391765649

df6bde031b test: remove glibc fdelt sanity check (fanquake)
8bf1540cc2 build: remove fdelt_chk backwards compatibility code (fanquake)
Pull request description:
ae30d40e50
The return type of [`fdelt_chk`](https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=debug/fdelt_chk.c;h=f62ce7349707cb68f55831c1c591fd7387a90258;hb=HEAD) changed from `unsigned long int` to `long int` in glibc 2.16. See [this commit](https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=ceb9e56b3d1f8c1922e0526c2e841373843460e2). Now that we require [glibc >=2.17](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17538) we can remove our back-compat code.

While looking at the above changes, I noticed that our glibc fdelt sanity check doesn't seem to be checking anything. `fdelt_warn()` also isn't something we'd want to actually "trigger" at runtime, as doing so would cause `bitcoind` to abort.
The comments:
> // trigger: Call FD_SET to trigger __fdelt_chk. FORTIFY_SOURCE must be defined
> // as >0 and optimizations must be set to at least -O2.
suggest calling FD_SET to check the invocation of `fdelt_chk` (this is [aliased with fdelt_warn in glibc](https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=debug/fdelt_chk.c;h=f62ce7349707cb68f55831c1c591fd7387a90258;hb=HEAD)). However just calling `FD_SET()` will not necessarily cause the compiler to insert a call to `fd_warn()`.
Whether or not GCC (recent Clang should work, but may use different heuristics) inserts a call to `fdelt_warn()` depends on if the compiler can determine if the value passed in is a compile time constant (using [`__builtin_constant_p`](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Other-Builtins.html)) and whether the value is < 0 or >= `FD_SETSIZE`. The glibc implementation is [here](https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=misc/bits/select2.h;h=7e17430ed94dd1679af10afa3d74795f9c97c0e8;hb=HEAD). This means our check should never cause a call to be inserted.
Compiling master without `--glibc-back-compat` (if you do pass `--glibc-back-compat` the outcome is still the same; however the abort will only happen with >=`FD_SETSIZE` as that is what our [fdelt_warn()](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/compat/glibc_compat.cpp#L24) checks for), there are no calls to `fdelt_warn()` inserted by the compiler:
```bash

```
If you modify the sanity test to pass `-1` or `FD_SETSIZE` to `FD_SET`, you'll see calls to `fdelt_warn` inserted, and the runtime behaviour is an abort as expected.

I think the test should should be removed and replaced (if possible) with additional checks in security-check.py. I was thinking about adding a version of [this script](https://github.com/fanquake/core-review/blob/master/fortify.py) as part of the output, but that needs more thought. I'll address this in a follow up.

0c63f80854 build: Suppress -Wdeprecated-copy warnings (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
Tomorrow, on Apr 23 the Ubuntu 20.04 release is expected. It packaged with Qt 5.12 LTS that has a nasty peculiarity to cause modern compilers, including Clang 10.0 and GCC 9.3, to emit spammy `-Wdeprecated-copy` warnings (#15822, #18419).
This PR suppress such warnings _temporarily_, until the [upstream is fixed](https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/272258).
Here are some affected systems (with system packages):
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS + Qt 5.12.8 LTS + { Clang 10.0 | GCC 9.3 }
- Fedora 32 + Qt 5.13.2 + Clang 10.0

ACK 0c63f80854 - I think it's ok to suppress these for now, given that `-Wdeprecated-copy` is enabled (via `-Wextra`) in GCC 9 and Clang 10. The Qt output is pretty noisy, and there's a few warnings from Boost as well.

autoconf and automake changes to support multiprocess gui/node/wallet execution.
This adds a new --enable-multiprocess flag, and build configuration code to
detect libraries needed for multiprocess support. The --enable-multiprocess
flag builds new bitcoin-node and bitcoin-gui executables, which are updated in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10102 to communicate across processes.
But for now they are functionally equivalent to existing bitcoind and
bitcoin-qt executables.

Inhibit all warning messages.
As is, this sanity check doesn't seem to be testing fdelt_chk, because
passing a value of "0" to FD_SET wont cause the compiler to insert any
calls to fdelt_chk().
The documentation is a little misleading. If we actually triggered fdelt_chk
at runtime, bitcoind would abort. I think this check would be better replaced
(if possible) by additional checks in security-check.py.
The compiler may insert a call to fdelt_warn() (aliased with fdelt_chk
in glibc) at compile time if it can determine that an invalid value is
being passed to FD_SET.
These checks are essentially; value < 0 or value >= FD_SETSIZE along
with a check for wether the value is a compile time constant.
If the compiler can determine an invalid value is being passed, a call
to fdelt_warn will be inserted. Passing 0 should never cause a call to
be inserted.
You can check this after compiling:
```bash
objdump -dC bitcoind | grep sanity_fdelt
...
0000000000399d20 <sanity_test_fdelt()>:
399d20: 48 81 ec 98 00 00 00 sub $0x98,%rsp

To test, you could modify this test to pass -1 to FD_SET, and check

fails. i.e:

a029805f57 build: remove -Qunused-arguments workaround for clang + ccache (fanquake)
Pull request description:
This was added in 386efb7695 to address spammy Clang warnings when building with ccache.
The issue was addressed in [ccache 3.2](https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8118), and from a look at most major distros, it's only Debian Jessie that has a version of ccache older than that ([3.1](https://packages.debian.org/jessie/ccache)).
Therefore I think it's acceptable to drop this workaround, and re-enable warnings for unused driver arguments (when compiling using Clang and ccache).

71f183a49b build: warn on potentially uninitialized reads (Vasil Dimov)
Pull request description:
* Enable `conditional-uninitialized` warning class to show potentially uninitialized
reads.
* Fix the sole such warning in Bitcoin Core in `GetRdRand()`: `r1` would be
set to `0` on `rdrand` failure, so initializing it to `0` is a non-functional
change.

Check for a flag to turn linker warnings into errors. When flags are passed to
linkers via the compiler driver using a -Wl,-foo flag, linker warnings may be
swallowed rather than bubbling up.

Stop the build if a warning is emitted due to `-Wgnu` and
`--enable-werror` has been used. As usual - this would help notice such
a warning that is about to be introduced in new code.
This is a followup to

Enable -Wconditional-uninitialized to warn on potentially uninitialized
reads.
Fix the sole such warning in Bitcoin Core in GetRdRand(): r1 would be
set to 0 on rdrand failure, so initializing it to 0 is a non-functional

Pull request description:
This adds a `--enable-c++17` option to the configure script, fixes the only C++17 incompatibility (with a commit taken from #18468), and adds a Travis test for it.
This is all off by default, and release builds remain C++11.
It implements the first step of the plan in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16684.

Pull request description:
Don't assume that `posix_fallocate()` is available on Linux and not
available on other operating systems. At least FreeBSD has it and we

b155fcda51 doc: fix typo in configure.ac (fanquake)
20a30922fb doc: note why we can't use thread_local with glibc back compat (fanquake)
Pull request description:
Given that we went through a [gitian build](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18681) to remember why this is the case, we might as well make a note of it in configure.ac.
[From #18681](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18681#issuecomment-615526634):
Looking at the Linux build log, this has failed with:
```bash
Checking glibc back compat...

```
`__cxa_thread_atexit_impl` is used for [thread_local variable destruction](https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Destructor%20support%20for%20thread_local%20variables):
> To implement this support, glibc defines __cxa_thread_atexit_impl exclusively for use by libstdc++ (which has the __cxa_thread_atexit to wrap around it), that registers destructors for thread_local variables in a list. Upon thread or process exit, the destructors are called in reverse order in which they were added.
As suggested, this only became available in glibc 2.18. From the [2.18 release notes](https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/libc-alpha/2013-08/msg00160.html):
> * Add support for calling C++11 thread_local object destructors on thread
and program exit. This needs compiler support for offloading C++11
destructor calls to glibc.

01a3392b1b Drop bitcoin-wallet dependency on libevent (Russell Yanofsky)
0660119ac3 Drop unintended bitcoin-tx dependency on libevent (Russell Yanofsky)
Pull request description:
This fixes compile errors trying to build bitcoin-tx and bitcoin-wallet without libevent, which were reported by Luke Dashjr in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/18465
The fix avoiding `bitcoin-tx` dependency on libevent just adds a conditional build rule. This is implemented in the first commit (more details in commit description).
The fix avoiding `bitcoin-wallet` dependency on libevent requires minor code changes, because `bitcoin-wallet` (unlike `bitcoin-tx`) links against code that calls `urlDecode` / `evhttp_uridecode`. This fix is implemented in the second commit (again details in the commit description).

This was added in 386efb7695 to
address spammy Clang warnings when building with ccache.
The issue was addressed in ccache 3.2
(https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8118, Nov 2014),
and from a look at all major distros, it's only Debian Jessie
that has a version of ccache older than that (3.1).
Therefore I think it's acceptable to drop this workaround, and
re-enable warnings for unused driver arguments (when compiling
using Clang).
autotools and automake changes to support multiprocess execution.
This adds a new --enable-multiprocess flag, and build configuration code to
detect libraries needed for multiprocess support. The --enable-multiprocess
flag builds new bitcoin-node and bitcoin-gui executables, which are updated in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10102 to communicate across processes.
But for now they are functionally equivalent to existing bitcoind and
bitcoin-qt executables.
Don't include util/url.cpp to libbitcoin_util.a when libevent isn't available.
This fixes a compile error trying to build bitcoin-tx without libevent reported
by Luke Dashjr in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/18465Fixes#18465
