d48c1e837ae1bd08e0f18ad1b57ff72675c3d6ad Add window final block height to getchaintxstats (Jonathan "Duke" Leto)
Pull request description:
This patch is motivated by the desire to make the output of `getchaintxstats` more useful and optimized for applications to consume and render the data.
Firstly, this data is already available to the RPC, no additional work is done. Currently additional RPC calls will be needed to look up the height of the final block in the window or the block height that began the window.
By adding the block height of the final block in the window, the JSON is "self-contained" and applications can calculate the exact block height range of the window with no additional RPC requests.
For example, a web application which wants to render historical information for `getchaintxstats` RPC on various window sizes might call the RPC with various window lengths, once per day, and store the JSON results somewhere. Because the final block height of each dataset is included, it's no extra work to determine the exact block window range of each JSON response.

64b27c46e4c21fc7902a69d8ddb6791ef417c4af docs: add reduce-memory.md (fanquake)
Pull request description:
Following some discussion in https://github.com/bitcoin-core/docs/issues/50, this adds Wladimir's [reducing bitcoind memory usage gist](https://gist.github.com/laanwj/efe29c7661ce9b6620a7) to `/doc`.
The conclusion seemed to be that if the main repo already has [reduce-traffic.md](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/reduce-traffic.md), then we could also add `reduce-memory.md`.

01971da9bd docs: Add productivity notes for "dummy rebases" (Carl Dong)
Pull request description:
When rebasing, we often want to do a "dummy rebase" whereby we are not rebasing over an updated master. This is because rebases can be confusing enough already, and we don't want to resolve upstream conflicts together with our local rebase conflicts due to fixup commits, commit rearrangements, and such. This productivity section details how to do such "dummy rebase"s.

a67d71311d [doc] developer-notes.md: point out that UniValue deviates from upstream (Sjors Provoost)
Pull request description:
While debugging an issue I was somewhat surprised to [learn](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/14164#issuecomment-419752678) that we've moved `src/univalue` from https://github.com/jgarzik/univalue to https://github.com/bitcoin-core/univalue, that these repos are both maintained and they're different.
The first mention of using the bitcoin-core repo is from late 2015 in #7157. I didn't check when the last common ancestor commit is.
I couldn't find documentation as to why (these things just happen in open source of course), but at minimum we should make this more clear.
There's also the following line in `config.ac` that I'm not sure what to do with:
```
AC_INIT([univalue], [1.0.3],
[http://github.com/jgarzik/univalue/])

Pull request description:
Rationale:
For new developers, they might be confused if they see that function arguments are sometimes `camelCase`'d in the codebase. This makes it clear that they _should_ be `snake_case`'d (maybe because no one's gotten to fixing them yet).

I am not quite sure about the FreeBSD instructions being in the [`doc/build-unix.md`], while both the OpenBSD and NetBSD instructions are contained within separate files ([`doc/build-openbsd.md`] and [`doc/build-netbsd.md`] respectively).
