ca185cf5a14b16d61814d7172284bc8efcd28b69 doc: Document differences in bitcoind and bitcoin-qt locale handling (practicalswift)

Pull request description:

  Document differences in `bitcoind` and `bitcoin-qt` locale handling.

  Since this seems to be the root cause to the locale dependency issues we've seen over the years I thought it was worth documenting :)

  Note that 1.) `QLocale` (used by Qt), 2.) C locale (used by locale-sensitive C standard library functions/POSIX functions and some parts of the C++ standard library such as `std::to_string`) and 3.) C++ locale (used by the C++ input/output library) are three separate things. This comment is about the perhaps surprising interference with the C locale (2) that takes place as part of the Qt initialization.

This folder contains lint scripts.

check-doc.py

Check for missing documentation of command line options.

commit-script-check.sh

Verification of scripted diffs. Scripted diffs are only assumed to run on the latest LTS release of Ubuntu. Running them on other operating systems might require installing GNU tools, such as GNU sed.

git-subtree-check.sh

Run this script from the root of the repository to verify that a subtree matches the contents of the commit it claims to have been updated to.

To use, make sure that you have fetched the upstream repository branch in which the subtree is maintained:

To do so, add the upstream repository as remote:

git remote add --fetch secp256k1 https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1.git

Usage: git-subtree-check.sh DIR (COMMIT)

COMMIT may be omitted, in which case HEAD is used.

lint-all.sh

Calls other scripts with the lint- prefix.
