6960c81cbfa6208d4098353e53b313e13a21cb49 kernel: Remove Univalue from kernel library (TheCharlatan)
10eb3a9faa977371facacee937b2e6dc26f008e0 kernel: Split ParseSighashString (TheCharlatan)
Pull request description:
Besides the build system changes, this is a mostly move-only change for moving the few UniValue-related functions out of kernel files.
UniValue is not required by any of the kernel components and a JSON library should not need to be part of a consensus library.

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.
