Merge #16152: Disable bloom filtering by default.
bead32e31e399090af30b2ee3539995d4105a66d Add release notes for DEFAULT_BLOOM change (Matt Corallo) f27309f55c4fa2b115525d72abb280757a568709 Move DEFAULT_PEERBLOOMFILTERS from validation.h to net_processing.h (Matt Corallo) 5efcb772838e404ca5757818d5548efcb872724b Disable bloom filtering by default. (Matt Corallo) Pull request description: BIP 37 bloom filters have been well-known to be a significant DoS target for some time. However, in order to provide continuity for SPV clients relying on it, the NODE_BLOOM service flag was added, and left as a default, to ensure sufficient nodes exist with such a flag. NODE_BLOOM is, at this point, well-established and, as long as there exist 0.18 nodes with default config (which I'd anticipate will be true for many years), will be available from some peers. By that time, the continued slowdown of BIP 37-based filtering will likely have rendered it useless (though this is already largely the case). Further, BIP 37 was deliberately never updated to support witness-based filtering as newer wallets are expected to migrate to some yet-to-be-network-exposed filters.
