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).

ee5e896 Organise Linux build instructions to be categorised by distro (Alex Vear)
4c85517 Add NetBSD build instruction links (Alex Vear)
Pull request description:
* Added references to the newly created [`doc/build-netbsd.md`] (#12294) instructions in the [`doc/README.md`] and the [`doc/build-unix.md`] files.
* Organise [`doc/build-unix.md`] dependency build instructions by Linux distribution. This will help discoverability of dependency build instructions for specific distros. Future instructions will also be able to be added easier.
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).
Feedback is greatly appreciated. 😄

Pull request description:
I'm re-opening #11857 as a new pull request because the last one stopped loading for people
-------------------------------
This refactors the tx index code to be in it's own class and get built concurrently with validation code. The main benefit is decoupling and moving the txindex into a separate DB. The primary motivation is to lay the groundwork for other indexers that might be desired (such as the [compact filters](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/636)). The basic idea is that the TxIndex spins up its own thread, which first syncs the txindex to the current block index, then once in sync the BlockConnected ValidationInterface hook writes new blocks.
### DB changes
At the suggestion of some other developers, the txindex has been split out into a separate database. A data migration runs at startup on any nodes with a legacy txindex. Currently the migration blocks node initialization until complete.
### Open questions
- Should the migration of txindex data from the old DB to the new DB block in init or should it happen in a background thread? The downside to backgrounding it is that `getrawtransaction` would return an error message saying the txindex is syncing while the migration is running.
### Impact
In a sample size n=1 test where I synced nodes from scratch, the average time [Index writing](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/validation.cpp#L1903) was 3.36ms in master and 1.72ms in this branch. The average time between `UpdateTip` log lines for sequential blocks between 400,000 and IBD end on mainnet was 0.297204s in master and 0.286134s in this branch. Most likely this is just variance in IBD times, but I can try with some more trials if people want.
