Pull request description:

  This adds a checkbox to the intro screen to enable pruning from the get go.

  If the user has plenty of space, it's unchecked by default:

  If the user has insufficient space it's checked by default:
  <img width="897" alt="low" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10217/63641276-d4002f80-c6ab-11e9-9f5b-a53472f814ff.png">

  When the user has barely enough space and is likely to need pruning in the near future, this is shown in yellow and we also check the prune box:

  The cut-off for this 10 GB above `m_assumed_blockchain_size` (`=240` in `chainparams.cpp`).

  If the user launches the first time with `-prune=...` then we disable the check box and display the correct size (rounded to GB):
  <img width="658" alt="Schermafbeelding 2019-08-24 om 20 23 14" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10217/63641351-09594d00-c6ad-11e9-94fe-fe5ed562e109.png">

  The 2 GB default matches the settings default. The user can't change it in the intro screen, but can change it later. I'm tempted to increase that default to 10 GB, and then have the intro screen reduce it if space is really tight.

  Tips for testing:
  * move your existing data dir elsewhere
  * wipe data dir at every restart (behavior is different if it exists)
  * launch with `bitcoin-qt -resetguisettings -lang=en` (there's some space issues in different languages)
  * fake your free space by changing `intro.cpp` line 90: `freeBytesAvailable = 5000000000; // 5 GB`
  * try both testnet and mainnet, because settings are seperate. In particular note how step 7 in `GuiMain` switches where `QTSettings settings` points to; this had me thoroughly confused on testnet, because I was setting them too early.

ACKs for top commit:
  jonasschnelli:
    Tested ACK 9924bce317
  ryanofsky:
    utACK 9924bce317. The changes are very logical, and implement the feature in a clean that way that doesn't add a lot of complication and shouldn't interfere with future improvements. I looked at Luke's branch too, and I think there's also a lot of great stuff there that seems fully compatible with this change.

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree

https://bitcoincore.org

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/, or read the original whitepaper.

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 and tested, but is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

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, that are run automatically on the build server. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The Travis CI system makes 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.

Translators should also subscribe to the mailing list.
