Pull request description:

  This is ready for review.

  Recent discussions among LN devs have brought back on the surface concerns about the security of multi-party funded transactions against pinnings attacks and other mempool-based nuisances. The lack of full-rbf transaction-relay topology connected to miners open the way to cheap and naive DoS against multi-party funded transactions (e.g coinjoins, dual-funded channels, on-chain DLCs, ...) without solutions introducing an overhead cost or centralization vectors afaik . For more details, see [0].

  This PR implements a simple `fullrbf` setting, where the node always allows transaction replacement, ignoring BIP125 opt-in flag. The default value of the setting stays **false**, therefore opt-in replacement is still the default Bitcoin Core replacement policy. Contrary to a previous proposal of mine and listening to feedbacks collected since then [1], I think this new setting simply offers more flexibility in a node transaction-relay policy suiting one's application requirements, without arguing a change of the default behavior.

  I [posted](https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2022-June/020557.html) on the ML to invite operators with a bitcoin application sensitive to full-rbf (e.g dual-funded LN channels service providers) or mempool researchers to join a bootstrapped full-rbf activated peers network for experimentation and learning. If people have strong opinions against the existence of such full-rbf transaction-relay network, I'm proposing to express them on the future thread.

Bitcoin Core

Setup

Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.

Running

The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.

Unix

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

  • bin/bitcoin-qt (GUI) or
  • bin/bitcoind (headless)

Windows

Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.

macOS

Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
