9d1dbbd4ce scripted-diff: Fix bitcoin_config_h includes (TheCharlatan)

Pull request description:

  As mentioned in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26924#issuecomment-1403449932 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29263#issuecomment-1922334399, it is currently not safe to remove `bitcoin-config.h` includes from headers because some unrelated file might be depending on it.

  See also #26972 for discussion.

  Solve this by including the file directly everywhere it's required, regardless of whether or not it's already included by another header.

  There should be no functional change here, but it will allow us to safely remove includes from headers in the future.

  ~I'm afraid it's a bit tedious to reproduce these commits, but it's reasonably straightforward:~
  Edit: See note below

  ```bash
  # All commands executed from the src/ subdir.

  # Collect all tokens from bitcoin-config.h.in
  # Isolate the tokens and remove blank lines
  # Replace newlines with | and remove the last trailing one
  # Collect all files which use these tokens
  # Filter out subprojects (proper forwarding can be verified from Makefiles)
  # Filter out .rc files
  # Save to a text file
  git grep -E -l `grep undef config/bitcoin-config.h.in | cut -d" " -f2 | grep -v '^$' | tr '\n' '|' | sed 's/|$//'` | grep -v -e "^leveldb/" -e "^secp256k1/" -e "^crc32c/" -e "^minisketch/" -e "^Makefile" -e "\.rc$" > files-with-config-include.txt

  # Find all files from the above list which don't include bitcoin-config.h
  git grep -L -E "config/bitcoin-config.h" -- `cat files-with-config-include.txt`

  # Include them manually with the exception of some files in crypto:
  # crypto/sha256_arm_shani.cpp crypto/sha256_avx2.cpp crypto/sha256_sse41.cpp crypto/sha256_x86_shani.cpp
  # These are exceptions which don't use bitcoin-config.h, rather the Makefile.am adds these cppflags manually.

  # Commit changes. This should match the first commit of this PR.

  # Use the same search as above to find all files which DON'T use any config tokens
  git grep -E -L `grep undef config/bitcoin-config.h.in | cut -d" " -f2 | grep -v '^$' | tr '\n' '|' | sed 's/|$//'` | grep -v -e "^leveldb/" -e "^secp256k1/" -e "^crc32c/" -e "^minisketch/" -e "^Makefile" -e "\.rc$" > files-without-config-include.txt

  # Manually remove the includes and commit changes. This should match the second commit of this PR.
  ```

Unit tests

The sources in this directory are unit test cases. Boost includes a unit testing framework, and since Bitcoin Core already uses Boost, it makes sense to simply use this framework rather than require developers to configure some other framework (we want as few impediments to creating unit tests as possible).

The build system is set up to compile an executable called test_bitcoin that runs all of the unit tests. The main source file for the test library is found in util/setup_common.cpp.

Compiling/running unit tests

Unit tests will be automatically compiled if dependencies were met in ./configure and tests weren't explicitly disabled.

After configuring, they can be run with make check, which includes unit tests from subtrees, or make && make -C src check-unit for just the unit tests.

To run the unit tests manually, launch src/test/test_bitcoin. To recompile after a test file was modified, run make and then run the test again. If you modify a non-test file, use make -C src/test to recompile only what's needed to run the unit tests.

To add more unit tests, add BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE functions to the existing .cpp files in the test/ directory or add new .cpp files that implement new BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE sections.

To run the GUI unit tests manually, launch src/qt/test/test_bitcoin-qt

To add more GUI unit tests, add them to the src/qt/test/ directory and the src/qt/test/test_main.cpp file.

Running individual tests

test_bitcoin accepts the command line arguments from the boost framework. For example, to run just the getarg_tests suite of tests:

test_bitcoin --log_level=all --run_test=getarg_tests

log_level controls the verbosity of the test framework, which logs when a test case is entered, for example. test_bitcoin also accepts the command line arguments accepted by bitcoind. Use -- to separate both types of arguments:

test_bitcoin --log_level=all --run_test=getarg_tests -- -printtoconsole=1

The -printtoconsole=1 after the two dashes redirects the debug log, which would normally go to a file in the test datadir (BasicTestingSetup::m_path_root), to the standard terminal output.

... or to run just the doubledash test:

test_bitcoin --run_test=getarg_tests/doubledash

Run test_bitcoin --help for the full list.

Adding test cases

To add a new unit test file to our test suite you need to add the file to src/Makefile.test.include. The pattern is to create one test file for each class or source file for which you want to create unit tests. The file naming convention is <source_filename>_tests.cpp and such files should wrap their tests in a test suite called <source_filename>_tests. For an example of this pattern, see uint256_tests.cpp.

Logging and debugging in unit tests

make check will write to a log file foo_tests.cpp.log and display this file on failure. For running individual tests verbosely, refer to the section above.

To write to logs from unit tests you need to use specific message methods provided by Boost. The simplest is BOOST_TEST_MESSAGE.

For debugging you can launch the test_bitcoin executable with gdb or lldb and start debugging, just like you would with any other program:

gdb src/test/test_bitcoin

Segmentation faults

If you hit a segmentation fault during a test run, you can diagnose where the fault is happening by running gdb ./src/test/test_bitcoin and then using the bt command within gdb.

Another tool that can be used to resolve segmentation faults is valgrind.

If for whatever reason you want to produce a core dump file for this fault, you can do that as well. By default, the boost test runner will intercept system errors and not produce a core file. To bypass this, add --catch_system_errors=no to the test_bitcoin arguments and ensure that your ulimits are set properly (e.g. ulimit -c unlimited).

Running the tests and hitting a segmentation fault should now produce a file called core (on Linux platforms, the file name will likely depend on the contents of /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern).

You can then explore the core dump using

gdb src/test/test_bitcoin core

(gbd) bt  # produce a backtrace for where a segfault occurred
