Pull request description:
New contributors are often confused by the terminology in the test framework, and what the difference between a _node_ and a _peer_ is. To summarize:
- a 'node' is a bitcoind instance. This is the thing whose behavior is being tested. Each bitcoind node is managed by a python `TestNode` object which is used to start/stop the node, manage the node's data directory, read state about the node (eg process status, log file), and interact with the node over different interfaces.
- one of the interfaces that we can use to interact with the node is the p2p interface. Each connection to a node using this interface is managed by a python `P2PInterface` or derived object (which is owned by the `TestNode` object). We can open zero, one or many p2p connections to each bitcoind node. The node sees these connections as 'peers'.
For historic reasons, the word 'mininode' has been used to refer to those p2p interface objects that we use to connect to the bitcoind node (the code was originally taken from the 'mini-node' branch of https://github.com/jgarzik/pynode/tree/mini-node). However that name has proved to be confusing for new contributors, so rename the remaining references.

590bda79e876d9b959083105b8c7c41dd87706eb scripted-diff: Remove setup_clean_chain if default is not changed (Fabian Jahr)
98892f39e3d079c73bff7f2a5d5420fa95270497 doc: Improve setup_clean_chain documentation (Fabian Jahr)
Pull request description:
The first commit improves documentation on setup_clean_chain which is misunderstood quite frequently. Most importantly it fixes the TestShell docs which are simply incorrect.
The second commit removes the instances of `setup_clean_clain` in functional tests where it is not changing the default.
This used to be part of #19168 which also sought to rename`setup_clean_chain`.

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.

Pull request description:
Related to: #18428
When -blocksonly is turned on, a node would still relay transactions from whitelisted peers. This funcitonality has not been tested.

* Remove unused variable
* [refactor] Move tx relay state to separate structure
* [refactor] Change tx_relay structure to be unique_ptr
* Check that tx_relay is initialized before access
* Add comment explaining intended use of m_tx_relay
* Add 2 outbound block-relay-only connections
Transaction relay is primarily optimized for balancing redundancy/robustness
with bandwidth minimization -- as a result transaction relay leaks information
that adversaries can use to infer the network topology.
Network topology is better kept private for (at least) two reasons:
(a) Knowledge of the network graph can make it easier to find the source IP of
a given transaction.
(b) Knowledge of the network graph could be used to split a target node or
nodes from the honest network (eg by knowing which peers to attack in order to
achieve a network split).
We can eliminate the risks of (b) by separating block relay from transaction
relay; inferring network connectivity from the relay of blocks/block headers is
much more expensive for an adversary.
After this commit, bitcoind will make 2 additional outbound connections that
are only used for block relay. (In the future, we might consider rotating our
transaction-relay peers to help limit the effects of (a).)
* Don't relay addr messages to block-relay-only peers
We don't want relay of addr messages to leak information about
these network links.
* doc: improve comments relating to block-relay-only peers
* Disconnect peers violating blocks-only mode
If we set fRelay=false in our VERSION message, and a peer sends an INV or TX
message anyway, disconnect. Since we use fRelay=false to minimize bandwidth,
we should not tolerate remaining connected to a peer violating the protocol.
* net_processing. Removed comment + fixed formatting
* Refactoring net_processing, removed duplicated code
* Refactor some bool in a many-arguments function to enum
It's made to avoid possible typos with arguments, because some of them have default values and it's very high probability to make a mistake here.
* Added UI debug option for Outbound
* Fixed data race related to `setInventoryTxToSend`, introduced in `[refactor] Move tx relay state to separate structure`
