fa3c910bfeab00703c947c5200a64c21225b50ef test: Move linters to test/lint, add readme (MarcoFalke) Pull request description: This moves the checks and linters from `devtools` to a subfolder in `test`. (Motivated by my opinion that the dev tools are mostly for generating code and updating the repo whereas the linters are read-only checks.) Also, adds a readme to clarify that checks and linters are only meant to prevent bugs and user facing issues, not merely stylistic preference or inconsistencies. (This is motivated by the diversity in developers and work flows as well as existing code styles. It would be too disruptive to change all existing code to a single style or too burdensome to force all developers to adhere to a single style. Also note that our style guide is changing, so locking in at the wrong style "too early" would only waste resources.)

Repository Tools
Developer tools
Specific tools for developers working on this repository.
Contains the script github-merge.py for merging GitHub pull requests securely and signing them using GPG.
Verify-Commits
Tool to verify that every merge commit was signed by a developer using the above github-merge.py script.
Linearize
Construct a linear, no-fork, best version of the blockchain.
Qos
A Linux bash script that will set up traffic control (tc) to limit the outgoing bandwidth for connections to the Bitcoin network. This means one can have an always-on bitcoind instance running, and another local bitcoind/bitcoin-qt instance which connects to this node and receives blocks from it.
Seeds
Utility to generate the pnSeed[] array that is compiled into the client.
Build Tools and Keys
Debian
Contains files used to package bitcoind/bitcoin-qt for Debian-based Linux systems. If you compile bitcoind/bitcoin-qt yourself, there are some useful files here.
Gitian-descriptors
Files used during the gitian build process. For more information about gitian, see the the Bitcoin Core documentation repository.
Gitian-keys
PGP keys used for signing Bitcoin Core Gitian release results.
MacDeploy
Scripts and notes for Mac builds.
RPM
RPM spec file for building bitcoin-core on RPM based distributions.
Gitian-build
Script for running full Gitian builds.
Test and Verify Tools
TestGen
Utilities to generate test vectors for the data-driven Bitcoin tests.
Verify Binaries
This script attempts to download and verify the signature file SHA256SUMS.asc from bitcoin.org.
