fae71d30f7 clang-tidy: Apply modernize-deprecated-headers (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Bitcoin Core is written in C++, so it is confusing to sometimes use the deprecated C headers (with the `.h` extension). For example, it is less clear whether `string.h` refers to the file in this repo or the cstring stdlib header (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31308#discussion_r2121492797).
The check is currently disabled for headers, to exclude subtree headers.

Pull request description:
In the functional test framework, determining a (w)txid for a `CTransaction` instance is currently rather confusing and footgunny due to inconsistent naming/interfaces (see table below) and statefulness involved. This PR aims to improve that by:
* removing the (w)txid caching mechanism, in order to avoid the need to call additional rehashing functions (`.rehash()`/`.calculate_sha256()`, see first two commits and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32050#discussion_r1993286997). This change in theory decreases the performance, as the involved serialization and hashing involved might be called more often than previously, but I couldn't find a functional test where this leads to a measurable run-time increase on my machine.
* introduce consistent naming that shows the type of the returned txid, i.e. hex string vs. test-framework-internal representation [currently integers] (see remaining commits)
Summary table showing (w)txid determaination before/after this PR:
| Task | master | PR |
|:-----------------------|:-----------------------|:-------------|
| get TXID (hex string) | `.rehash()` / `.hash`[1] | `.txid_hex` |
| get TXID (integer) | `.sha256`[1] | `.txid_int` |
| get WTXID (hex string) | `.getwtxid()` | `.wtxid_hex` |
| get WTXID (integer) | `.calc_sha256(True)` | `.wtxid_int` |
Unfortunately, most renames can't be done with a scripted-diff, as the property names (`.hash`, `.sha256`) are also used for blocks and other message types. The PR is rather invasive and touches a lot of files, but I think it's worth to do it, also to make life easier for new contributors. Future tasks like e.g. doing the same overhaul for block (header) objects or getting rid of the integer representation (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32050) become easier should become easier after this one.

Pull request description:
Some fields in validation are set opportunistically by "best effort":
- The `BLOCK_FAILED_CHILD` status (which means that the block index has an invalid predecessor)
- `m_best_header` (the most-work header not known to be invalid).
This means that there are known situations in which these fields are not set when they should be, or set to wrong values. This is tolerated because the fields are not used for anything consensus-critical and triggering these situations involved creating invalid blocks with valid PoW header, so would have a cost attached. Also, having stricter guarantees for these fields requires iterating over the entire block index, which has some DoS potential, especially with any header above the checkpoint being accepted int he past (see e.g. #11531).
However, there are reasons to change this now:
- RPCs use these fields and can report wrong results
- There is the constant possibility that someone could add code that expects these fields to be correct, especially because it is not well documented that these fields cannot always be relied upon.
- DoS concerns have become less of an issue after #25717 - now an attacker would need to invest much more work because they can't fork off the last checkpoint anymore
This PR continues the work from #30666 to ensure that `BLOCK_FAILED_CHILD` status and `m_best_header` are always correct:
- it adds a call to `InvalidChainFound()` in `AcceptBlock()`.
- it adds checks for `BLOCK_FAILED_CHILD` and `m_best_header` to `CheckBlockIndex()`. In order to be able to do this, the existing cache in the RPC-only `InvalidateBlock()` is adjusted to handle these as well. These are performance optimizations with the goal of avoiding having a call of `InvalidChainFound()` / looping over the block index after each disconnected block.
I also wrote a fuzz test to find possible edge cases violating `CheckBlockIndex`, which I will PR separately soon.
- it removes the `m_failed_blocks` set, which was a heuristic necessary when we couldn't be sure if a given block index had an invalid predecessor or not. Now that we have that guarantee, the set is no longer needed.

Pull request description:
This PR fixes the multiprocess depends build for OpenBSD by applying upstream patch https://github.com/capnproto/capnproto/pull/2308 and switching the SHA256SUM command to output hash sums in the expected format (the default is BSD format [1], but we need GNU format [2], see commit message for details). Note that the hashing issue is only prevailing for packages defining the `$(package)_local_dir` variable (introduced in 5d105fb8c3, part of #31741), where the following line of the `fetch_local_dir_sha256` function leads to the wrong output:

This commit includes a workaround for the bug fixed in
https://github.com/lief-project/LIEF/pull/1218, but the workaround can
be kept, since it makes `has_nx` checks stricter by enforcing both heap
and stack are non-executable.
This change also requires a patch to partially revert a commit to LIEF
(f23ced2f4f)
which broke compatibility with versions of scikit-build-core <= 0.10.x.
This patch can be dropped once the guix time machine advances to or
beyond 35c5f07e96,
which bumps the scikit-build-core version in guix from 0.9.3 to 0.10.7.

f16c8c67bf tests: Expand HTTP coverage to assert libevent behavior (Matthew Zipkin)
Pull request description:
These commits are cherry-picked from #32061 and part of a project to [remove libevent](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/31194).
This PR only adds functional tests to `interface_http` to cover some HTTP server behaviors we inherit from libevent, in order to maintain those behaviors when we replace libevent with our own HTTP server.
1. Pipelining: The server must respond to requests from a client in the order in which they were received [RFC 7230 6.3.2](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7230#section-6.3.2)
2. `-rpcservertimeout` config option which sets the amount of time the server will keep an idle client connection alive
3. "Chunked" Transfer-Encoding: Allows a client to send a request in pieces, without the `Content-Length` header [RFC 7230 4.1](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7230#section-4.1)

Since the previous commit, CTransaction object calls to the
methods `.rehash()` and `.calc_sha256()` are effectively no-ops
if the returned value is not used, so we can just remove them.
Rather than txids (represented by the fields `.sha256` and `.hash`)
being stateful, simply compute them on-the-fly. This ensures that
the correct values are always returned and takes the burden of
rehashing from test writers, making the code shorter overall.
In a first step, the fields are kept at the same name with @property
functions as drop-in replacements, for a minimal diff. In later commits,
the names are changed to be more descriptive and indicating the return
type of the txid.
LoadWallet was added in commit d77170d526, which
points to a traceback with BerkeleyBatch in it. Now that BDB is removed,
this can be removed as well.
The race in DatabaseBatch was added in commit
fd59670642, which does not point to a
traceback. This was likely also fixed with the BDB removal.
If not, the suppressions should be added back, mentioning that they are
intermittent and including a traceback and possibly steps to reproduce.

Pull request description:
Retains the `-datacarrier*` args, marks them as deprecated, and does not require another startup argument for multiple OP_RETURN outputs.
If a user has set `-datacarriersize` the value is "budgeted" across all seen OP_RETURN output scriptPubKeys. In other words the total script bytes stays the same, but can be spread across any number of outputs. This is done to not introduce an additional argument to support multiple outputs.
I do not advise people use the option with custom arguments and it is marked as deprecated to not mislead as a promise to offer it forever. The argument itself can be removed in some future release to clean up the code and minimize footguns for users.

12ff4be9c7 test: ensure -rpcallowip is compatible with RFC4193 (Matthew Zipkin)
c02bd3c187 config: Explain RFC4193 and CJDNS interaction in help and init error (Matthew Zipkin)
f728b6b111 init: Configure reachable networks before we start the RPC server (Matthew Zipkin)
Pull request description:
Closes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/32433
`MaybeFlipIPv6toCJDNS()` relies on `g_reachable_nets` to distinguish between CJDNS addresses and other IPv6 addresses. In particular, [RFC4193](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4193#section-3.1) address or "Unique Local Address" with the L-bit unset also begins with the `fc` prefix. #32433 highlights a use case for these addresses that have nothing to do with CJDNS.
On master we don't parse init flags like `-cjdnsreachable` until *after* the HTTP server has started, causing conflicts with `-rpcallowip` because CJDNS doesn't support subnets.
This PR ensures that `NET_CJDNS` is only present in the reachable networks list if set by `-cjdnsreachable` *before* `-rpcallowip` is checked. If it is set all `fc` addresses are assumed to be CJDNS, can not have subnets, and can't be set for `-rpcallowip`.
I also noted this specific parameter interaction in the init help as well as the error message if configured incorrectly.
This can be tested locally:
`bitcoind -regtest -rpcallowip=fc00:dead:beef::/64 -rpcuser=u -rpcpassword=p`
On master this will just throw an error that doesn't even mention IPv6 at all.
On the branch, this will succeed and can be tested by adding the ULA to a local interface.
On linux: `sudo ip -6 addr add fc00:dead:beef::1/64 dev lo`
On macos: `sudo ifconfig lo0 inet6 fc00:dead:beef::1/128 add`
then: `curl -v -g -6 --interface fc00:dead:beef::1 u:p@[::1]:18443 --data '{"method":"getblockcount"}'`
If the `rpcallowip` option is removed, the RPC request will fail to authorize.
Finally, adding `-cjdnsreachable` to the start up command will throw an error and specify the incompatibility:
> RFC4193 is allowed only if -cjdnsreachable=0.

7cfbb8575e test: wallet: cover wallet passphrase with a null char (brunoerg)
Pull request description:
This PR adds test coverage for the `walletpassphrase`/`walletpassphrasechange` RPC when the passphrase is incorrect due to a null character.
For reference: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27068 introduced the usage of `SecureString` to allow null characters.

After changes in previous commits, we now mark all blocks that descend from an invalid block
immediately as the block is found invalid. This happens both in the AcceptBlock
and ConnectBlock stages of block validation.
As a result, the pindexPrev->nStatus check in AcceptBlockHeader is now sufficient to detect
invalid blocks and checking m_failed_blocks there is no longer necessary.
This adds checks that
1) Descendants of invalid block indexes are also marked invalid
2) m_best_header cannot be invalid, and there can be no valid
block with more work than it.
Before, m_best_header would be calculated only after disconnecting
multiple blocks, letting go of cs_main in the meantime.
This is in preparation for adding checks to CheckBlockIndex()
requiring that m_best_header is the most-work header not known to be invalid.

Before, they would be marked as invalid only after disconnecting
multiple blocks, letting go of cs_main in the meantime.
This is in preparation for adding a check to
CheckBlockIndex() requiring that descendants of invalid block indexes
are always marked as invalid.
Entries from highpow_outofchain_headers are now only removed if made invalid,
no longer after inserting into setBlockIndexCandidates, because they
might still become invalid later in the second case.
This means that blocks could be inserted multiple times now into
setBlockIndexCandidates - this won't have any effect, so
behavior isn't changed.
