645e905c327411555073fa7964b36f652998059f doc: Add release notes for unloadwallet change to synchronous call (João Barbosa) c37851de5752f107c16e19317f28038b6b7ca2dc rpc: Make unloadwallet wait for complete wallet unload (João Barbosa) Pull request description: Currently the `unloadwallet` RPC is asynchronous, it only signals the intent to unload the wallet and then returns the response to the client. The actual unload can happen later and the client has no way to be notified of that. This PR makes the `unloadwallet` RPC synchronous, meaning that it blocks until the wallet is fully unloaded.

9d0e52834 implements different disk sizes for different networks on intro (marcoagner) Pull request description: Fixes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/13213. Mostly, I layed out the concept to open the PR for refinement and getting feedback if the approach is okay. Changes are expected. Two points: - The values for both new consts `TESTNET_BLOCK_CHAIN_SIZE` and `TESTNET_CHAIN_STATE_SIZE` is certainly not optimal; I just checked the size of my testnet3 related dirs and set them to little bit higher values. Which values should be used? - Should we do something like this to regtest? Or these "niceties" do not matter when on regtest? Thanks!

The intention is to upgrade Qt in master to the latest point release of the current Qt LTS. This change can then be back-ported to the 0.17 branch (wether it makes it into 0.17.1 or not). Then, sometime before the 0.18.0 release, we could move to using Qt 5.12+ in depends (which is also LTS).

The feature is exposed in `listunspent`, `getaddressinfo`, and `scantxoutset` whenever these calls are applied to solvable outputs/addresses. This is not very useful on its own, though when we add RPCs to import descriptors, or sign PSBTs using descriptors, these strings become a compact and standalone way of conveying everything necessary to sign an output (excluding private keys).

Furthermore, when RC's are built, the resulting filenames are of the release version and do not include `rc` in them. This occurs because `configure.ac` is written to create version numbers of the form `major.minor.rev` instead of `major.minor.rev.build` and without any rc version as it does not handle rc numbers. This PR changes `configure.ac` to include the build number if it is greater than 0. It will also include the rc number if it is greater than 0. So the filenames of the gitian builds will now contain the full version number. This behavior can be tested by setting `_CLIENT_VERSION_BUILD` and `_CLIENT_VERSION_RC` to non-zero values and then doing `make dist`. A tar file should be created with the correct versioning.
