Add a test for a CheckBlockIndex crash that would happen before previous
"assumeutxo: Get rid of faked nTx and nChainTx values" commit.
The crash was an assert failure in the (pindex->nChainTx == pindex->nTx +
prev_chain_tx) check that would previously happen if the snapshot block was
submitted after loading the snapshot and downloading a few blocks after the
snapshot. In that case ReceivedBlockTransactions() previously would overwrite
the nChainTx value of the submitted snapshot block with a fake value based on
the previous block, so the (pindex->nChainTx == pindex->nTx + prev_chain_tx)
check would later fail on the first block after the snapshot. This test was

Add a test for a CheckBlockIndex crash that would happen before previous
"assumeutxo: Get rid of faked nTx and nChainTx values" commit.
The crash was an assert failure in the (pindex->nChainTx == pindex->nTx +
prev_chain_tx) check that would previously happen if a snapshot was loaded, and
a block was submitted which forked from the chain before the snapshot block and
after the last downloaded background chain block. This block would not be
marked assumed-valid because it would not be an ancestor of the snapshot, and
it would have nTx set, nChainTx unset, and prev->nChainTx set with a fake
value, so the assert would fail. After the fix, prev->nChainTx is unset instead
of being set to a fake value, so the assert succeeds. This test was originally
posted by maflcko in

The `PopulateAndValidateSnapshot` function introduced in
f6e2da5fb7 from #19806 has been setting fake
`nTx` and `nChainTx` values that can show up in RPC results (see #29328) and
make `CBlockIndex` state hard to reason about, because it is difficult to know
whether the values are real or fake.
Revert to previous behavior of setting `nTx` and `nChainTx` to 0 when the
values are unknown, instead of faking them.
This commit fixes at least two assert failures in the (pindex->nChainTx ==
pindex->nTx + prev_chain_tx) check that would happen previously. Tests for
these failures are added separately in the next two commits.
Compatibility note: This change could result in -checkblockindex failures if a
snapshot was loaded by a previous version of Bitcoin Core and not fully
validated, because fake nTx values will have been saved to the block index. It
would be pretty easy to avoid these failures by adding some compatibility code
to `LoadBlockIndex` and changing `nTx` values from 1 to 0 when they are fake
(when `(pindex->nStatus & BLOCK_VALID_MASK) < BLOCK_VALID_TRANSACTIONS`), but a
little simpler not to worry about being compatible in this case.
Add ubsan suppressions for integer overflows in the getchaintxstats RPC.
getchainstatstx line "int nTxDiff = pindex->nChainTx - past_block.nChainTx" can
trigger ubsan integer overflows when assumeutxo snapshots are loaded, from
subtracting unsigned values and assigning the result to a signed int.
The overflow behavior probably exists in current code but is hard to trigger
because it would require calling getchainstatstx at the right time with
specific parameters as background blocks are being downloaded. But the overflow
behavior becomes easier to trigger in the upcoming commit removing fake
nChainTx values, so a suppression needs to be added before then for CI to pass.
getchainstatstx should probably be improved separately in another PR to not
need this suppression, and handle edge cases and missing nChainTx values more
carefully.

Pull request description:
The lint check has many issues:
* It uses `COMMIT_RANGE`, which is brittle code, apparently making it harder to run the CI locally, or self-hosted. See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29274#discussion_r1457739319
* The result depends on `COMMIT_RANGE`, or the number of commits passed to the script, which can cause false negatives or false positives.
* It is based on the diff output, parsing it, and printing it again, which is brittle as well.
* The output does not include line number, making it harder to act on a lint error.
Fix all issues by removing the script and replacing it with a simple call to `git grep -I --line-number ...`.

Temporarily disables the `powerpc64le-linux-gnu` target due to non-determinism issues when building across `aarch64` and `x86_64`. Trying to fix the non-determinism was going to require trying to selectively disable optimization flags, which is already not ideal (and didn't fix all issues), and the migration to GCC 12 as our release compiler is now the blocker for multiple other (c++20 and similar) changes, so leaving this blocked on the `powerpc64le` binaries does not seem like a good tradeoff.

28287cfbe1 test: add script compression coverage for not-on-curve P2PK outputs (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
This PR adds unit test coverage for the script compression functions `{Compress,Decompress}Script` in the special case of uncompressed P2PK outputs (scriptPubKey: OP_PUSH65 <0x04 ....> OP_CHECKSIG) with [pubkeys that are not fully valid](44b05bf3fe/src/pubkey.cpp (L297-L302)), i.e. where the encoded point is not on the secp256k1 curve. For those outputs, script compression is not possible, as the y coordinate of the pubkey can't be recovered (see also call-site of `IsToPubKey`):
44b05bf3fe/src/compressor.cpp (L49-L50)
Likewise, for a compressed script of an uncompressed P2PK script (i.e. compression ids 4 and 5) where the x coordinate is not on the curve, decompression fails:
44b05bf3fe/src/compressor.cpp (L122-L129)
Note that the term "compression" is used here in two different meanings (though they are related), which might be a little confusing. The encoding of a pubkey can either be compressed (33-bytes with 0x02/0x03 prefixes) or uncompressed (65-bytes with 0x04 prefix). On the other hand there is also compression for whole output scripts, which is used for storing scriptPubKeys in the UTXO set in a compact way (and also for the `dumptxoutset` result, accordingly). P2PK output scripts with uncompressed pubkeys get compressed by storing only the x-coordinate and the sign as a prefix (0x04 = even, 0x05 = odd). Was diving deeper into the subject while working on https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27432, where the script decompression of uncompressed P2PK needed special handling (see also https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/24628#issuecomment-1108798536).
Trivia: as of now (block 801066), there are 13 uncompressed P2PK outputs in the UTXO set with a pubkey not on the curve (which obviously means they are unspendable).

07cd510ffe [refactor] consolidate invalid MempoolAcceptResult processing (glozow)
9353aa4066 [refactor] consolidate valid MempoolAcceptResult processing (glozow)
Pull request description:
Every time we try to `ProcessTransaction` (i.e. submit a tx to mempool), we use the result to update a few net processing data structures. For example, after a failure, the {wtxid, txid, both, neither} (depending on reason) should be cached in `m_recent_rejects` so we don't try to download/validate it again.
There are 2 current places and at least 1 future place where we need to process `MempoolAcceptResult`:
- In the `ProcessMessage` logic after receiving and validating a tx
- In `ProcessOrphanTx` where we retry orphans
- With #28970, after processing a package of transactions, we should do these updates for each tx in the package.
Consolidate this code so it isn't repeated in 2 places and so we can reuse it in a future PR.

Pull request description:
Closes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/27252
UNIX domain sockets are a mechanism for inter-process communication that are faster than local TCP ports (because there is no need for TCP overhead) and potentially more secure because access is managed by the filesystem instead of serving an open port on the system.
There has been work on [unix domain sockets before](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9979) but for now I just wanted to start on this single use-case which is enabling unix sockets from the client side, specifically connecting to a local Tor proxy (Tor can listen on unix sockets and even enforces strict curent-user-only access permission before binding) configured by `-onion=` or `-proxy=`
I copied the prefix `unix:` usage from Tor. With this patch built locally you can test with your own filesystem path (example):
`tor --SocksPort unix:/Users/matthewzipkin/torsocket/x`
`bitcoind -proxy=unix:/Users/matthewzipkin/torsocket/x`
Prep work for this feature includes:
- Moving where and how we create `sockaddr` and `Sock` to accommodate `AF_UNIX` without disturbing `CService`
- Expanding `Proxy` class to represent either a `CService` or a UNIX socket (by its file path)
Future work:
- Enable UNIX sockets for ZMQ (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27679)
- Enable UNIX sockets for I2P SAM proxy (some code is included in this PR but not tested or exposed to user options yet)
- Enable UNIX sockets on windows where supported
- Update Network Proxies dialog in GUI to support UNIX sockets

Pull request description:
Revives #17167. It allows whitelisting manual connections. Fixes#9923
Since there are some PRs/issues around this topic, I'll list some motivations/comments for whitelisting outbound connections from them:
- Speed-up tx relay/mempool sync for testing purposes (my personal motivation for this) - In #26970, theStack pointed out that we whitelist peers to speed up tx relay for fast mempool synchronization, however, since it applies only for inbound connections and considering the topology `node0 <--- node1 <---- node2 <--- ... <-- nodeN`, if a tx is submitted from any node other than node0, the mempool synchronization can take quite long.
- https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29058#issuecomment-1865155764 - "Before enabling -v2transport by default (which I'd image may happen after https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/24748) we could consider a way to force manual connections to be only-v1 or even only-v2 (disabling reconnect-with-v1). A possibility could be through a net permission flag, if https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27114 makes it in."
- https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17167#issuecomment-1168606032 - "This would allow us to use https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25355 when making outgoing connections to all nodes, except to whitelisted ones for which we would use our persistent I2P address."
- Force-relay/mempool permissions for a node you intentionally connected to.

It is assumed if a block is stored it will be valid.

ReadRawBlockFromDisk assumes a non-null pos that has an nPos >= 8.
This simple check makes the function safer to call in the future,
so callers don't need to worry about causing UB if the pos is null.
Retain native GCC 10 toolchain for macOS, to prevent compile failures in
native tools (this will be removed entirely when we tansition to LLD).
Update the vmov-alignment patch, for changes in GCC 12.

Pull request description:
When we receive a v3 transaction that would bust a mempool transaction's descendant limit, instead of rejecting the new tx, consider replacing the other descendant if it is much higher feerate (using existing RBF criteria to assess that it's more incentive compatible and to avoid DoS).

acc06bc91f ci, macos: Use `--break-system-packages` with Homebrew's python (Hennadii Stepanov)
ae5f72027f ci: Add workaround for Homebrew's python link error (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
Homebrew [promoted](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/150390) `python@3.12` to the default `python3`. Now, our "macOS native" CI job is facing the following issues:
1. Installing `qt@5` [requires](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/actions/runs/8216848118/job/22471875454#step:4:51) re-installing `python@3.12`:
```
==> Fetching dependencies for qt@5: readline, python@3.12 and gettext
```
2. Re-installing `python@3.12` [fails](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/actions/runs/8216848118/job/22471875454#step:4:127) due to symbolic link conflicts on macOS `x86_64`:
```
==> Pouring python@3.12--3.12.2_1.ventura.bottle.tar.gz
Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
```
3. Homebrew's `python@3.12` is marked as externally managed (according to PEP 668), necessitating different approaches for installing Python packages.
This pull request resolves all the issues mentioned above.
