Merge #15757: List new RPCs in psbt.md and descriptors.md
9b085f4863eaefde4bec0638f1cbc8509d6ee59a Mention new descriptor RPCs in descriptors.md (Pieter Wuille) 28d78de00bf49c6efc19f0edeef2a03d039752a1 Mention new PSBT RPCs in psbt.md (Pieter Wuille) Pull request description: The documentation in `psbt.md` and `descriptors.md` does not list new and updated RPCs (`analyzepsbt`, `utxoupdatepsbt`, `joinpsbts`, `deriveaddresses`, `getdescriptorinfo`, `listunspent`). Fix this. It'd be good to have this in 0.18 (only documentation). ACKs for commit 9b085f: fanquake: utACK 9b085f4 Tree-SHA512: ee16907e8c15351a530f11fc0a585c50835a7bf5aec997ac0e897949d9b9e41a28ddebbeaba69753fee7d2de75e518091518185085fcd1f6ada94b7231097b2e

# Support for Output Descriptors in Bitcoin Core
-Since Bitcoin Core v0.17, there is support for Output Descriptors in the
-`scantxoutset` RPC call. This is a simple language which can be used to

+Since Bitcoin Core v0.17, there is support for Output Descriptors. This is a
+simple language which can be used to describe collections of output scripts.
+Supporting RPCs are:
+- `scantxoutset` takes as input descriptors to scan for, and also reports
+ specialized descriptors for the matching UTXOs.
+- `getdescriptorinfo` analyzes a descriptor, and reports a canonicalized version
+ with checksum added.
+- `deriveaddresses` takes as input a descriptor and computes the corresponding
+ addresses.
+- `listunspent` outputs a specialized descriptor for the reported unspent outputs.
+
+This document describes the language. For the specifics on usage, see the RPC
+documentation for the functions mentioned above.
