621e86ee8d0102e2bf41f7656a368083b89b2f83 Update -blocksonly documentation (glowang)
Pull request description:
When -blocksonly is set to 1, it interacts with the -walletbroadcast
parameter and sets it to 0.
This behavior is not captured by the current documentation, which
claims that -blocksonly does not impact any wallet transactions at
all.

When -blocksonly is set to 1, it interacts with the -walletbroadcast
parameter and sets it to 0 if it has not been set already.This behavior
is not captured by the current documentation, which claims that -blocksonly
does not impact any wallet transactions.
Update the max number of outgoing peers from 8 to 10, due to the
addition of two -blocksonly peers.

ef35604c9c88e7800e9be106b791b1c0fa8b310a rpc: fix broken RPCExamples for waitforblock(height) (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
This PR fixes several broken RPCExamples from the "blockchain" category:
- `HelpExampleCli` for `waitforblock` (disturbing comma between arguments)
- `HelpExampleCli` for `waitforblockheight` (disturbing comma between arguments)
- `HelpExampleRpc` for `waitforblockheight` (disturbing quotation marks around integer argument)
Note that the CLI example for `waitforblockheight` would also work with the first argument in quotation marks (in contrast to the RPC example), but I removed them as well as they are not needed.

9ab14e4d21c73d16d8d782f1576fe29e659e2a70 Limit decimal range of numbers ParseScript accepts (pierrenn)
Pull request description:
Following up on this suggestion : https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18413#issuecomment-602966490, prevent the output of `atoi64` in the `core_read.cpp:ParseScript` helper to send to `CScriptNum::serialize` values wider than 32-bit.
Since the `ParseScript` helper is only used by the tool defined in `bitcoin-tx.cpp`, this only prevents users to provide too much unrealistic values.

2b0fcff7f26d59fed4bcafd1602325122a206c67 Make VerifyWitnessProgram use a Span stack (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
Here is a follow-up to #18002, again with the goal of simplifying (potential) BIP341 code.
Instead of passing a begin and end iterator of the initial stack to `ExecuteWitnessScript`, they are turned into a `Span<const valtype>`, representing a span of `valtype`s in memory. This allows `VerifyWitnessProgram` to operate on that span directly, instead of juggling iterators around (which would be exacerbated by #17977 if trying to avoid copying the stack).

If we're mlocking something, it's because it's sensitive information. Therefore, don't include it in core dump files, ~~and unmap it from forked processes~~.

The current Windows code signing certificate is about expire (on March 26th 2020). As I have volunteered to take over the Windows code signing duties, I've purchased a new Windows code signing certificate with the same CA and under the same organization (Bitcoin Core Code Signing Association).
A signature by the old certificate over the new certificate has been provided to me. This signature can be verified using
```
openssl cms -verify -inform pem -purpose any -content path/to/new/win-codesign.cert -CAfile path/to/old/win-codesign.cert -certfile path/to/old/win-codesign.cert
```
The verification should succeed and the new certificate will be printed out. This can be compared to the contents of `win-codesign.cert`.
```

Pull request description:
Continuing the asmap integration of #16702 which added `mapped_as` to the rpc getpeerinfo output, this adds the mapped AS to the Peers detail window in the GUI wallet.
`$ src/qt/bitcoin-qt -asmap=<path-to-asmap-file>` (asmap on)
`$ src/qt/bitcoin-qt` (asmap off)
Added a tooltip and a couple of minor fixups.

Pull request description:
This PR:
- is an alternative to #17104
- closes#16734
- closes#6753
The idea is clear described by some developers:
- [MarcoFalke](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17097#issuecomment-540691850):
> This whole concept of explicitly listing each and every file manually (or with a fragile wildcard) is an obvious sisyphean task. I'd say all we need to do is run git archive and be done with it forever, see #16734, #6753, #11530 ...
- [laanwj](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17097#issuecomment-540706025):
> I agree, I've never been a fan of it. I don't think we have any files in the git repository we don't want to ship in the source tarball.
---
The suggested changes have a downside which is pointed by [**luke-jr**](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17104#issuecomment-540828045):
> ... but the distfile needs to include autogen-generated files.
This means that a user is not able to run `./configure && make` right away. One must run `./autogen.sh` at first.
Here are opinions about mandatory use of `./autogen.sh`:
- [ryanofsky](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16734#issuecomment-534139356):
> It's probably ok to require autogen. I think historically configure scripts were supposed to work on obscure unix systems that would just have a generic shell + make tool + c compiler, and not necessarily need gnu packages like m4 which are needed for autogen.
- [laanwj](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16734#issuecomment-540729483):
> I also think it's fine to require autogen. What is one dependency more, if you're building from source.

Note for reviewers: please verify is `git archive` output deterministic?

Pull request description:
Add fuzzing quickstart guide to make it trivial to start fuzzing Bitcoin Core.
Fuzzing is fun and having more people contributing coverage-increasing inputs to https://github.com/bitcoin-core/qa-assets would be awesome :)
