a5cfb40e27bd281354bd0d14d91f83efb6bfce9f doc: release note for changed {sign,verify}message error codes (Sebastian Falbesoner)

e62f0c71f10def124b1c1219d790cef246a32c3e rpc: fix {sign,message}verify RPC errors for invalid address/signature (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
RPCs that accept address parameters usually return the intended error code `RPC_INVALID_ADDRESS_OR_KEY` (-5) if a passed address is invalid. The two exceptions to the rule are `signmessage` and `verifymessage`, which return `RPC_TYPE_ERROR` (-3) in this case instead. Oddly enough `verifymessage` returns `RPC_INVALID_ADDRESS_OR_KEY` when the _signature_ was malformed, where `RPC_TYPE_ERROR` would be more approriate.
This PR fixes these inaccuracies and as well adds tests to `rpc_signmessage.py` that check the parameter validity and error codes for the related RPCs `signmessagewithprivkey`, `signmessage` and `verifymessage`.

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) orbin/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.
