Since Python 3.9, type hinting has become a little less awkward, as for
collection types one doesn't need to import the corresponding
capitalized types (`Dict`, `List`, `Set`, `Tuple`, ...) anymore, but can
use the built-in types directly. [1] [2]
This commit applies the replacement for all Python scripts (i.e. in the
contrib and test folders) for the basic types:
- typing.Dict -> dict
- typing.List -> list
- typing.Set -> set
- typing.Tuple -> tuple

Linearize
Construct a linear, no-fork, best version of the blockchain.
Qos
A Linux bash script that will set up traffic control (tc) to limit the outgoing bandwidth for connections to the Bitcoin network. This means one can have an always-on bitcoind instance running, and another local bitcoind/bitcoin-qt instance which connects to this node and receives blocks from it.
Seeds
Utility to generate the pnSeed[] array that is compiled into the client.
