b3b26e149c34fee9c7ae8548c6e547ec6254b441 rpc: fix -rpcclienttimeout 0 option (Fabian Jahr)
Pull request description:
fixes#17117
I understood the bug as the help string being wrong, rather than that this feature is missing and should be added. Let me know if it should be the other way around.
It is notable that if 0 is given as an argument, the fallback that is being used is the libevent default of 50 seconds, rather than `DEFAULT_HTTP_CLIENT_TIMEOUT` (900 seconds). This is not intuitive for the user. I could handle this in this PR but I am unsure which would be the better solution then: Actually adding the feature as described in the help string or falling back to `DEFAULT_HTTP_CLIENT_TIMEOUT`? Happy to hear opinions.

Since gArgs is used for everything that has command line arguments, `bitcoind`, `bitcoin-cli`, `bitcoin-qt`, `bitcoin-tx`, and `bench_bitcoin` are all effected by this change and all now have the same argument checking behavior.

3d4fa83587 Stop translating command line options (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
Many options are extremely technical, and refer internals, making it difficult to translate usefully. This came up in discussion of e.g. #10949. If a message is not understood by translators (which are typically end-users, not developers) they'll either translate it literally, making it harder to understand instead of easier, with the added drawback of the user no longer being able to google it.
Also the translation was only working for bitcoin-qt as with the console programs, there is no translation backend. So it was injecting never-used translation messages for bitcoin-cli, -tx.
For these reasons, stop translating options help completely. This should not affect the output **in any way** \* except for bitcoin-qt when a non-English language is configured in the locale.
This implements #10962.
\*) I checked this, but please do verify this.

Pull request description:
Change `-conf`'s help message to indicate that relative path values will be prefixed by the datadir path. This behavior probably merits clarification; it's kind of confusing when attempting to specify a configuration file in the current directory with `-conf=bitcoin.conf`, but instead loading the `bitcoin.conf` file in ~/.bitcoin datadir.
### Edit
This PR has been modified to document all cases where relative path configurations are modified to be under datadir. A small refactoring has also been added which consolidates this normalization.

be8ab7d08 Create new wallet databases as directories rather than files (Russell Yanofsky)
26c06f24e Allow wallet files not in -walletdir directory (Russell Yanofsky)
d8a99f65e Allow wallet files in multiple directories (Russell Yanofsky)
Pull request description:
This change consists of three commits:
* The first commit is a pure refactoring that removes the restriction that two wallets can only be opened at the same time if they are contained in the same directory.
* The second commit removes the restriction that `-wallet` filenames can only refer to files in the `-walletdir` directory.
* The third commit makes second commit a little safer by changing bitcoin to create wallet databases as directories rather than files, so they can be safely backed up.
All three commits should be straightforward:
* The first commit adds around 20 lines of new code and then updates a bunch of function signatures (generally updating them to take plain fs::path parameters, instead of combinations of strings, fs::paths, and objects like CDBEnv and CWalletDBWrapper).
* The second commit removes two `-wallet` filename checks and adds some test cases to the multiwallet unit test.
* The third commit just changes the mapping from specified wallet paths to bdb environment & data paths.

**Note:** For anybody looking at this PR for the first time, I think you can skip the comments before _20 Nov_ and start reading at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11687#issuecomment-345625565. Comments before _20 Nov_ were about an earlier version of the PR that didn't include the third commit, and then confusion from not seeing the first commit.

dcfef27 cli: Reject arguments to -getinfo (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
Currently it's possible to accidentally type e.g.
bitcoin-cli -getinfo getbalance
and get an answer which can be confusing; the trailing arguments are just ignored.
To avoid this, throw an error if the user provides arguments to
`-getinfo`.

5e69a43 Add test for bitcoin-cli -getinfo (John Newbery)
3826253 rpc: Handle `getinfo` locally in bitcoin-cli w/ `-getinfo` (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
Since @laanwj doesn't want to maintain these changes anymore, I will.
This PR is a revival of #8843. I have addressed @jnewbery's comments.
Regarding atomicity, I don't think that is a concern here. This is explicitly a new API and those who use it will know that this is different and that it is not atomic.

79191f5 Add option -stdinrpcpass to allow RPC password to be read from standard input (Joe Harvell)
Pull request description:
Add a new command-line option to bitcoin-cli that allows the RPC password to be read from standard intput. The purpose of this option is to allow secure RPC password input to bitcoin-cli through an external program that is capable of disabling terminal echo.
This option works similarly to the existing -stdin option, and also works when combined with that option.
I have also written a simple ncurses based program that disables echo, gets input from the terminal and writes to standard output. I couldn't find an existing askpass program that doesn't require graphics libraries, since they are primarily used for getting passwords in a graphics environment. Unless someone can point out a suitable existing askpass program, I plan to submit my ncurses program to the contrib directory separately from this pull request.

df389bc Change wallet method disabled error text (Russell Yanofsky)
e526b3d Fix misleading "Method not found" multiwallet errors (Russell Yanofsky)
Pull request description:
Raise RPC_WALLET_NOT_SPECIFIED instead of RPC_METHOD_NOT_FOUND when a required
wallet filename was not specified in an RPC call.
Also raise more specific RPC_WALLET_NOT_FOUND error instead of
RPC_INVALID_PARAMETER in case an invalid wallet was specified, for consistency.
