fa25f43ac5 p2p: Remove BIP61 reject messages (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Reject messages (BIP 61) appear in the following settings:
* Parsing of reject messages (in case `-debug=net` is set, off by default). This has only been used for a single `LogPrint` call for several releases now. Such logging is completely meaningless to us and should thus be removed.
* The sending of reject messages (in case `-enablebip61` is set, off by default). This can be used to debug a node that is under our control. Instead of hacking this debugging into the p2p protocol, it could be more easily achieved by parsing the debug log. (Use `-printtoconsole` to have it as stream, or read from the `debug.log` file like our python function `assert_debug_log` in the test framework does)
Having to maintain all of this logic and code to accommodate debugging, which can be achieved by other means a lot easier, is a burden. It makes review on net processing changes a lot harder, since the reject message logic has to be carried around without introducing any errors or DOS vectors.

ea4cc3a7b3 Truly decouple wallet from chainparams for -fallbackfee (Jorge Timón)
Pull request description:
Before it was 0 by default for main and 20000 for test and regtest.
Now it is 0 by default for all chains, thus there's no need to call Params().
Also now the default for main is properly documented.
Suggestion for release notes:
-fallbackfee was 0 (disabled) by default for the main chain, but 20000 by default for the test chains. Now it is 0 by default for all chains. Testnet and regtest users will have to add fallbackfee=20000 to their configuration if they weren't setting it and they want it to keep working like before.
Should I propose them to the wiki for the release notes or only after merge?

PR 16866 renamed the 'decode' argument in gettransaction to 'verbose' to make it more consistent with other RPC calls like getrawtransaction.
However, it seems it inadvertently overloaded the 'details' fields when 'verbose' is passed. The result is that the original 'details' fields are no longer returned, which seems to be a breaking API change.
This PR takes the simplest path to restoring the 'details' fields by renaming them from 'details' back to 'decoded', while leaving the 'verbose' argument for API consistency.
It also addresses [this comment](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16185#discussion_r320740413) to mention that the 'decoded' field is identical to decoderawtransaction.
Update the RPC help, functional test, and release note.
This makes the RPC method consistent with other RPC methods that have a
'verbose' option.
Change the name of the return object from 'decoded' to details.
Update help text.

376f4929f8 build: disable BIP70 support by default (fanquake)
Pull request description:
Disable BIP70 support in the GUI by default for `0.19.0` (for eventual removal in `0.20.0`?).
Users who want to compile with BIP70 support enabled can pass `--enable-bip70` to `./configure`.
I've inverted the current `--disable-bip70` test to instead pass `--enable-bip70`.
Tested configurations on `macOS` (`protobuf` installed with `brew`).
Protobuf available and `./configure`:
```
Options used to compile and link:
with wallet = yes
with gui / qt = yes
with bip70 = no
```
Protobuf available and `./configure --enable-bip70`:
```
Options used to compile and link:
with wallet = yes
with gui / qt = yes

```
Protobuf not available (i.e `brew unlink protobuf`) and `./configure`:
```
Options used to compile and link:
with wallet = yes
with gui / qt = yes
with bip70 = no
```
Protobuf not available and `./configure --enable-bip70`:

Starting bitcoind with `-onlynet=onion` immediately after adding bitcoind user to debian-tor group will yield the following notice on debug.log:
"tor: Authentication cookie /run/tor/control.authcookie could not be opened (check permissions)"
Elaborate on the need to re-login to ensure debian-tor group has been applied to bitcoind user after:
sudo usermod -a -G debian-tor username
Verification can be done via `groups` command in shell.

Pull request description:
This is a reopen of https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15511#issuecomment-527087370 since there have been concept ACKs from sdaftuar and Sjors.
This adds a new entry to `getpeerinfo` and `getnetworkinfo` which decodes the network services flags.
Here is a truncated output of `getpeerinfo`:
```
"services": "000000000000040d",
"servicesnames": "NODE_NETWORK | NODE_BLOOM | NODE_WITNESS | NODE_NETWORK_LIMITED",
"relaytxes": true,
```
And one of `getnetworkinfo`:
```
"localservices": "0000000000000409",
"localservicesnames": "NODE_NETWORK | NODE_WITNESS | NODE_NETWORK_LIMITED",
"localrelay": true,
```

d48c1e837a Add window final block height to getchaintxstats (Jonathan "Duke" Leto)
Pull request description:
This patch is motivated by the desire to make the output of `getchaintxstats` more useful and optimized for applications to consume and render the data.
Firstly, this data is already available to the RPC, no additional work is done. Currently additional RPC calls will be needed to look up the height of the final block in the window or the block height that began the window.
By adding the block height of the final block in the window, the JSON is "self-contained" and applications can calculate the exact block height range of the window with no additional RPC requests.
For example, a web application which wants to render historical information for `getchaintxstats` RPC on various window sizes might call the RPC with various window lengths, once per day, and store the JSON results somewhere. Because the final block height of each dataset is included, it's no extra work to determine the exact block window range of each JSON response.
