Merge #14287: tests: Use MakeUnique to construct objects owned by unique_ptrs
b6718e373e tests: Use MakeUnique to construct objects owned by unique_ptrs (practicalswift)

Pull request description:

  A subset of #14211 ("Use MakeUnique to construct objects owned by unique_ptrs") as suggested by @MarcoFalke in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/14211#issuecomment-423324019.

  Use `MakeUnique` to construct objects owned by `unique_ptr`s.

  Rationale:
  * `MakeUnique` ensures exception safety in complex expressions.
  * `MakeUnique` gives a more concise statement of the construction.

Merge #13717: docs: Link to python style guidelines from developer notes
a9e898a4ad docs: Link to python style guidelines from developer notes (Mason Simon)

Pull request description:

  Initially I moved the python style guidelines from the functional test README, but some of the python rules are test-specific, and most of the developer notes doc is C++ centric, so just dropping a link seemed better.

Merge #13230: Simplify include analysis by enforcing the developer guide's include syntax
16e3cd380a Clarify include recommendation (practicalswift)
6d10f43738 Enforce the use of bracket syntax includes ("#include <foo.h>") (practicalswift)
906bee8e5f Use bracket syntax includes ("#include <foo.h>") (practicalswift)

Pull request description:

  When analysing includes in the project it is often assumed that the preferred bracket include syntax (`#include <foo.h>`) mentioned in `developer-docs.md` is used consistently. @sipa:s excellent circular dependencies script [`circular-dependencies.py`](50c69b7801/contrib/devtools/circular-dependencies.py) (#13228) is an example of a script making this reasonable assumption.

  This PR enables automatic Travis checking of the include syntax making sure that the bracket syntax includes (`#include <foo.h>`) is used consistently.

cd0e1e91dd Fix inconsistent namespace formatting guidelines
Suggested formatting for namespaces in the developer guide is currently
inconsistent. This commit updates the developer guide and clang-format
configuration to consistently put "namespace" and opening/closing braces
on the same line. Example:

```c++
namespace boost {
namespace signals2 {
class connection;
} // namespace signals2
} // namespace boost
```

Currently the "Source code organization" section has an example like the one
above, but the "Coding style" section example and description put a newline
between the opening "namespace foo" and brace (but oddly no newline between
closing namespace and brace).

Avoiding newlines before namespace opening braces makes nested declarations
less verbose and also avoids asymmetry with closing braces. It's also a
common style used in other codebases:

* https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html#Namespaces
* https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Coding_Style#Classes
* https://llvm.org/docs/CodingStandards.html#namespace-indentation

  Changes:
  * Add note about test suite naming convention
  * Fix exceptions
  * Add regression test

  Rationale:
  * Consistent naming of test suites makes programmatic test running of specific tests/subsets of tests easier
  * Explicit is better than implicit

  Before this commit:

  ```
  $ contrib/devtools/lint-tests.sh
  The test suite in file src/test/foo_tests.cpp should be named
  "foo_tests". Please make sure the following test suites follow
  that convention:

  src/test/blockchain_tests.cpp:BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_SUITE(blockchain_difficulty_tests, BasicTestingSetup)
  src/test/prevector_tests.cpp:BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_SUITE(PrevectorTests, TestingSetup)
  src/wallet/test/coinselector_tests.cpp:BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_SUITE(coin_selection_tests, WalletTestingSetup)
  src/wallet/test/crypto_tests.cpp:BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_SUITE(wallet_crypto, BasicTestingSetup)
  $
  ```

  After this commit:

  ```
  $ contrib/devtools/lint-tests.sh
  $
  ```

Merge #12692: Add configure options for various -fsanitize flags
6feb46c Add --with-sanitizers option to configure (Evan Klitzke)

Pull request description:

  This adds configure options for `-fsanitize=address`, `-fsanitize=thread`, and `-fsanitize=undefined` which are all disabled by default. These flags are useful for developers who wish to do additional safety checking. Note that some of these are mutually incompatible, and these may have a large performance overhead.

  There's some kind of strange logic required to properly check for the availability of these flags in a way that works on both GCC and Clang, hopefully the comments make it clear what's going on.

Merge #12759: [Docs] Improve formatting of developer notes
0bd2ec5 Improve formatting of developer notes (Evan Klitzke)

Pull request description:

  The developer notes file has gotten pretty large and unwieldly. This reorganizes some content, most notably by adding a TOC to the page. Compare how the page looks in [my branch](https://github.com/eklitzke/bitcoin/blob/developer-notes/doc/developer-notes.md) vs [master](https://github.com/eklitzke/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/developer-notes.md).

  I know there's long-term interest in moving a lot of this content to the bitcoin-core/docs repo on GitHub, but this makes things better now.

  The TOC format here is a semi-standard extension to Markdown files that you may have seen on GitHub pages in other projects. The `<!-- markdown-toc -->` comments used by these tools to know where the TOC starts/ends. The following tools all understand this format:

   * [Sphinx](http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/)
   * [Pandoc](https://pandoc.org/)
   * [markdown-toc.el](https://github.com/ardumont/markdown-toc) (what I used)
   * various plugins for [vim](https://github.com/mzlogin/vim-markdown-toc) and other editors

  I used this TOC extension at a previous job, and my observation is that it's fine if people just edit the TOC manually. It's just text and it's not a huge deal if it gets a little out of sync. It can also be regenerated at any time by anyone with any of these tools.

Increase LevelDB max_open_files unless on 32-bit Unix.
This change significantly increases IBD performance by increasing the
amount of the UTXO index that can remain in memory. To ensure this
doesn't cause problems in the future, a static_assert on the LevelDB
version has been added, which must be updated by anyone upgrading
LevelDB.

Pull request description:

  Made these simplifications while reviewing #12714. This aims to make `CKeyStore` a *pure* interface:
   - no variable members - the mutex is moved to `CBasicKeyStore` which is where it is used;
   - no method implementations - `AddKey(const CKey &)` is moved to `CBasicKeyStore` which is where it is needed.

Merge #11050: Avoid treating null RPC arguments different from missing arguments
745d2e3 Clean up getbalance RPC parameter handling (Russell Yanofsky)
fd5d71e Update developer notes after params.size() cleanup (Russell Yanofsky)
e067673 Avoid treating null RPC arguments different from missing arguments (Russell Yanofsky)
e666efc Get rid of redundant RPC params.size() checks (Russell Yanofsky)

Pull request description:

  This is a followup to #10783.

  - The first commit doesn't change behavior at all, just simplifies code.
  - The second commit just changes RPC methods to treat null arguments the same as missing arguments instead of throwing type errors.
  - The third commit updates developer notes after the cleanup.
  - The forth commit does some additional code cleanup in `getbalance`.

  Followup changes that should happen in future PRs:

  - [ ] Replace uses of `.isTrue()` with calls to `.get_bool()` so numbers, objects, and strings cause type errors instead of being interpreted as false. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11050#discussion_r133850525
  - [ ] Add braces around if statements. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11050#discussion_r133851133
  - [ ] Maybe improve UniValue type error exceptions and eliminate RPCTypeCheck and RPCTypeCheckArgument functions. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11050#discussion_r133829303

e012f3cea0 util: Add ParseUInt32 and ParseUInt64
Add error and range-checking parsers for unsigned 32 and 64 bit numbers.
The 32-bit variant is required for parsing sequence numbers from the
command line in `bitcoin-tx` (see #8164 for discussion). I've thrown in
the 64-bit variant as a bonus, as I'm sure it will be needed at some
point.

Also adds tests, and updates `developer-notes.md`.
