2020-11-11addrman: ensure old versions don't parse peers.datVasil Dimov
Even though the format of `peers.dat` was changed in an incompatible way (old software versions <0.21 cannot understand the new file format), it is not guaranteed that old versions will fail to parse it. There is a chance that old versions parse its contents as garbage and use it. Old versions expect the "key size" field to be 32 and fail the parsing if it is not. Thus, we put something other than 32 in it. This will make versions between 0.11.0 and 0.20.1 deterministically fail on the new format. Versions prior to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/5941 (<0.11.0) will still parse it as garbage. Also, introduce a way to increment the `peers.dat` format in a way that does not necessary make older versions refuse to read it.
2020-10-21wallet: Make -wallet setting not create walletsRussell Yanofsky
This changes -wallet setting to only load existing wallets, not create new ones. - Fixes settings.json corner cases reported by sjors & promag: https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui/issues/95, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19754#issuecomment-685858578, https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19754#issuecomment-685858578 - Prevents accidental creation of wallets reported most recently by jb55 http://www.erisian.com.au/bitcoin-core-dev/log-2020-09-14.html#l-355 - Simplifies behavior after #15454. #15454 took the big step of disabling creation of the default wallet. This PR extends it to avoid creating other wallets as well. With this change, new wallets just aren't created on startup, instead of sometimes being created, sometimes not. #15454 release notes are updated here and are simpler. This change should be targeted for 0.21.0. It's a bug fix and simplifies behavior of the #15937 / #19754 / #15454 features added in 0.21.0.

102867c587f5f7954232fb8ed8e85cda78bb4d32 net: change CNetAddr::ip to have flexible size (Vasil Dimov) 1ea57ad67406b3aaaef5254bc2fa7e4134f3a6df net: don't accept non-left-contiguous netmasks (Vasil Dimov) Pull request description: (chopped off from #19031 to ease review) Before this change `CNetAddr::ip` was a fixed-size array of 16 bytes, not being able to store larger addresses (e.g. TORv3) and encoded smaller ones as 16-byte IPv6 addresses. Change its type to `prevector`, so that it can hold larger addresses and do not disguise non-IPv6 addresses as IPv6. So the IPv4 address `1.2.3.4` is now encoded as `01020304` instead of `00000000000000000000FFFF01020304`. Rename `CNetAddr::ip` to `CNetAddr::m_addr` because it is not an "IP" or "IP address" (TOR addresses are not IP addresses). In order to preserve backward compatibility with serialization (where e.g. `1.2.3.4` is serialized as `00000000000000000000FFFF01020304`) introduce `CNetAddr` dedicated legacy serialize/unserialize methods. Adjust `CSubNet` accordingly. Still use `CSubNet::netmask[]` of fixed 16 bytes, but use the first 4 for IPv4 (not the last 4). Do not accept invalid netmasks that have 0-bits followed by 1-bits and only allow subnetting for IPv4 and IPv6.

2020-08-24net: don't accept non-left-contiguous netmasksVasil Dimov
A netmask that contains 1-bits after 0-bits (the 1-bits are not contiguous on the left side) is invalid [1] [2]. The code before this PR used to parse and accept such non-left-contiguous netmasks. However, a coming change that will alter `CNetAddr::ip` to have flexible size would make juggling with such netmasks more difficult, thus drop support for those.
