Pull request description:
Currently the `verify-commits.py` script does not work well with maintainers giving up their commit access. If a key is removed from `trusted-keys`, any commits it signed previously will fail to verify, however keys cannot be kept in the list as it would allow that person to continue to push new commits. Furthermore, the `trusted-keys` used depends on the working tree which `verify-commits.py` itself may be modifying. When the script is run, the `trusted-keys` may be the one that is intended to be used, but the script may change the tree to a different commit with a different `trusted-keys` and use that instead!
To resolve these issues, I've updated `verify-commits.py` to load the `trusted-keys` file and check the keys itself rather than delegating that to `gpg.sh` (which previously read in `trusted-keys`). This avoids the issue with the tree changing.
I've also updated the script so that it stops modifying the tree. It would do this for the clean merge check where it would checkout each individual commit and attempt to reapply the merges, and then checking out the commit given as a cli arg. `git merge-tree` lets us do basically that but without modifying the tree. It will give us the object id for the resulting tree which we can compare against the object id of the tree in the merge commit in question. This also appears to be quite a bit faster.
Lastly I've removed all of the exception commits in `allow-revsig-commits`, `allow-incorrect-sha512-commits`, and `allow-unclean-merge-commits` since all of these predate the commits in `trusted-git-root` and `trusted-sha512-root`. I've also updated the script to skip verification of commits that predate `trusted-git-root`, and skip sha512 verification for those that predate `trusted-sha512-root`.

Instead of having gpg.sh check against the trusted keys for a valid
signature, do it inside of verify-commits itself.
This also allows us to use the same trusted-keys throughout the
verify-commits.py check rather than it possibly being modified during
the clean merge check.
To prepare for the removal of laanwj's key from trusted key, the trusted
git root needs to be newer than the most recent merge commit signed by
his key.
8b8d8eeae9 Remove travis_wait from lint script (Graham Krizek)
Pull request description:
Using the `travis_wait` command in conjunction with `set -o errexit` causes problems. The `travis_wait` command will correctly log the command's output if successful, but if the command fails the process exits before the `travis_wait` command can dump the logs. This will hide important debugging information like error messages and stack traces. We ran into this in #15196 and it was very hard to debug because output was being suppressed.
`travis_wait` was being used because the `contrib/verify-commits/verify-commits.py` script can sometimes run for a long time without producing any output. If a script runs for 10 minutes without logging anything, the CI run times out. The `travis_wait` command will extend this timeout by logging a message for you, while sending stderr and stdout to a file.
This PR removes the `travis_wait` command from our CI system and adds additional logging to the `verify-commits.py` script so it doesn't make Travis timeout.

Removing the 'universal_newlines' and 'encoding' args from the subprocess.check_outputs fuction. 'universal_newlines' is supported in 3.4, but 'encoding' is not. Without specifying 'encoding' it will make a guess at encoding, which can break things on BSD systems. We must handle encoding/decoding ourselves until we can use Python 3.6
45842c3d2 Improve documentation for running verify-commits.py script (Jameson Lopp)
Pull request description:
I ran into 3 different issues while trying to run the verify-commits script for the first time and I think documenting them would help save time for future developers.
1. I was trying to just run it with "python" and didn't realize I had multiple python versions installed and this script is only syntactically valid for python 3.x.
2. I needed to import the trusted keys
3. The script was hanging because it was triggering my yubikey for signature verification

Pull request description:
~~Make sure `LC_ALL=C` is set when using `grep` range expressions.~~
Make sure `LC_ALL=C` is set in all shell scripts.
From the `grep(1)` documentation:
> Within a bracket expression, a range expression consists of two characters separated by a hyphen. It matches any single character that sorts between the two characters, inclusive, using the locale's collating sequence and character set. For example, in the default C locale, `[a-d]` is equivalent to `[abcd]`. Many locales sort characters in dictionary order, and in these locales `[a-d]` is typically not equivalent to `[abcd]`; it might be equivalent to `[aBbCcDd]`, for example. To obtain the traditional interpretation of bracket expressions, you can use the C locale by setting the `LC_ALL` environment variable to the value C.

577f111 Make verify-commits.sh test that merges are clean (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
Unsure if we want this.
This modifies verify-commits.sh to redo all merges along the leftmost commit branch (which includes all PR merges), and verify whether they match the merge commit's trees.
The benefit is that it will detect a case where one of the maintainers merges a PR, but makes an unrelated change inside the merge commit. This on itself is not very strong, as unrelated changes can also be included in the merged branch itself - but perhaps the merge commit is not something that people are otherwise likely to look at.
Fixes#8089
