e49a7274a2rpc: Avoid join-split roundtrip for user:pass for auth credentials (Vasil Dimov)98ff38a6f1rpc: Perform HTTP user:pass split once in `RPCAuthorized` (laanwj)879a17bcb1rpc: Store all credentials hashed in memory (laanwj)4ab9bedee9rpc: Undeprecate rpcuser/rpcpassword, change message to security warning (laanwj) Pull request description: This PR does two things: ### Undeprecate rpcuser/rpcpassword, change message to security warning Back in 2015, in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7044, we added configuration option `rpcauth` for multiple RPC users. At the same time the old settings for single-user configuration `rpcuser` and `rpcpassword` were "soon" to be deprecated. The main reason for this deprecation is that while `rpcpassword` stores the password in plain text, `rpcauth` stores a hash, so it doesn't appear in the configuration in plain text. As the options are still in active use, actually removing them is expected to be a hassle to many, and it's not clear that is worth it. As for the security risk, in many kinds of setups (no wallet, containerized, single-user-single-application, local-only, etc) it is an unlikely point of escalation. In the end, it is good to encourage secure practices, but it is the responsibility of the user. Log a clear warning but remove the deprecation notice (this is also the only place where the options appear as deprecated, they were never marked as such in the -help output). <hr> ### Store all credentials hashed in memory This gets rid of the special-casing of `strRPCUserColonPass` by hashing cookies as well as manually provided `-rpcuser`/`-rpcpassword` with a random salt before storing them. Also take the opportunity to modernize the surrounding code a bit. There should be no end-user visible differences in behavior. <hr> Closes #29240.

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree
For an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/.
What is Bitcoin Core?
Bitcoin Core connects to the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network to download and fully validate blocks and transactions. It also includes a wallet and graphical user interface, which can be optionally built.
Further information about Bitcoin Core is available in the doc folder.
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 (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.
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 during the generation of the build system) with: ctest. 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.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: build/test/functional/test_runner.py
(assuming build is your build directory).
The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make 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.
