fab558612278909df93bdf88f5727b04f13aef0f doc: Use precise permission flags where possible (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Instead of mentioning the all-encompassing `-whitelist*` settings, change the docs to mention the exact permission flag that will influence the behaviour.
This is needed because in the future, the too-broad `-whitelist*` settings (they either include *all* permission flags or apply to *all* peers) might be deprecated to require the permission flags to be enumerated.
Alternatively, in the future there could be an RPC to set the net permission flags on an existing connection, in which case the `-whitelist*` terminology is of no help.

facb71576cd4d2e90fd03e09d29b42fa3d730e8c net: Remove forcerelay of rejected txs (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
This removes the code that supposedly handled the forced relay of txs from a permissioned peer that were rejected from our mempool. The removal should be fine, because it is dead code for the following reasons:
* While `RelayTransaction` enqueues the inv for all peers, the inv is never processed because it can not be found in the mempool. See 4a07233076/src/net_processing.cpp (L3862-L3866)
* Even if the peers we intended to send the inv to can somehow reply with a getdata to the never-received inv, they won't receive the tx as a reply because it was never added to the "relay memory" (`mapRelay`)
The dead code is (obviously) untested: https://marcofalke.github.io/btc_cov/total.coverage/src/net_processing.cpp.gcov.html#2574
This feature was (intentionally or accidentally) removed in 4d8993b346, which was released in Bitcoin Core 0.13.0. So all currently supported versions of Bitcoin Core ship without this feature. I am not aware of any complaints about this feature or actual documented use-cases. So instead of reviving an unneeded feature, just remove the dead code.

Pull request description:
I thought `whitelistrelay` default was `false` when it is `true`.
The root of the issue come from the fact that all references to `DEFAULT_` are not in the scope of this file, so hard coding of default values are used everywhere in `net.cpp`. I think that in a separate PR we should fix that more fundamentally everywhere.

Pull request description:
# Motivation
In 0.19, bloom filter will be disabled by default. I tried to make [a PR](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16176) to enable bloom filter for whitelisted peers regardless of `-peerbloomfilters`.
Bloom filter have non existent privacy and server can omit filter's matches. However, both problems are completely irrelevant when you connect to your own node. If you connect to your own node, bloom filters are the most bandwidth efficient way to synchronize your light client without the need of some middleware like Electrum.
It is also a superior alternative to BIP157 as it does not require to maintain an additional index and it would work well on pruned nodes.
When I attempted to allow bloom filters for whitelisted peer, my proposal has been NACKed in favor of [a more flexible approach](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16176#issuecomment-500762907) which should allow node operator to set fine grained permissions instead of a global `whitelisted` attribute.
Doing so will also make follow up idea very easy to implement in a backward compatible way.
# Implementation details
The PR propose a new format for `--white{list,bind}`. I added a way to specify permissions granted to inbound connection matching `white{list,bind}`.
The following permissions exists:
* ForceRelay
* Relay
* NoBan
* BloomFilter
* Mempool
Example:
* `-whitelist=bloomfilter@127.0.0.1/32`.
* `-whitebind=bloomfilter,relay,noban@127.0.0.1:10020`.
If no permissions are specified, `NoBan | Mempool` is assumed. (making this PR backward compatible)
When we receive an inbound connection, we calculate the effective permissions for this peer by fetching the permissions granted from `whitelist` and add to it the permissions granted from `whitebind`.
To keep backward compatibility, if no permissions are specified in `white{list,bind}` (e.g. `--whitelist=127.0.0.1`) then parameters `-whitelistforcerelay` and `-whiterelay` will add the permissions `ForceRelay` and `Relay` to the inbound node.
`-whitelistforcerelay` and `-whiterelay` are ignored if the permissions flags are explicitly set in `white{bind,list}`.
# Follow up idea
Based on this PR, other changes become quite easy to code in a trivially review-able, backward compatible way:
* Changing `connect` at rpc and config file level to understand the permissions flags.
* Changing the permissions of a peer at RPC level.
