Pull request description:
The `riscv64` binary is created by the Gitian scripts and distributed by the Bitcoin Core website, so it should be listed in the release process docs.
I placed it between i686 and x86_64 since it looked like the original list of Linux arches was in alphabetical order; I'm open to including it in a different position if the desire is to keep the two ARM arches together and the two x86 arches together.

While reading the build docs, I found some opportunities for textual improvements (Force of habit, I used to work as a technical writer...)
* Added a few missing words, should be uncontroversial.
* Changed/added some punctuation, for better flow and readability.
* Fixed one Markdown issue, where two list item headings rendered without a line break. (See image)
This one needs to be verified after a build, I don't have a proper build environment yet.

c276df775914e4e42993c76e172ef159e3b830d4 zmq: enable tcp keepalive (mruddy)
Pull request description:
This addresses https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/12754.
These changes enable node operators to address the silent dropping (by network middle boxes) of long-lived low-activity ZMQ TCP connections via further operating system level TCP keepalive configuration. For example, ZMQ sockets that publish block hashes can be affected in this way due to the length of time it sometimes takes between finding blocks (e.g.- sometimes more than an hour).
Prior to this patch, operating system level TCP keepalive configurations would not take effect since the SO_KEEPALIVE option was not enabled on the underlying socket.
There are additional ZMQ socket options related to TCP keepalive that can be set. However, I decided not to implement those options in this changeset because doing so would require adding additional bitcoin node configuration options, and would not yield a better outcome. I preferred a small, easily reviewable patch that doesn't add a bunch of new config options, with the tradeoff that the fine tuning would have to be done via well-documented operating system specific configurations.
I tested this patch by running a node with:
`./src/qt/bitcoin-qt -regtest -txindex -datadir=/tmp/node -zmqpubhashblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:28332 &`
and connecting to it with:
`python3 ./contrib/zmq/zmq_sub.py`
Without these changes, `ss -panto | grep 28332 | grep ESTAB | grep bitcoin` will report no keepalive timer information. With these changes, the output from the prior command will show keepalive timer information consistent with the configuration at the time of connection establishment, e.g.-: `timer:(keepalive,119min,0)`.
I also tested with a non-TCP transport and did not witness any adverse effects:
`./src/qt/bitcoin-qt -regtest -txindex -datadir=/tmp/node -zmqpubhashblock=ipc:///tmp/bitcoin.block &`

New getnodeaddresses call gives access via RPC to the peers known by the node. It may be useful for bitcoin wallets to broadcast their transactions over tor for improved privacy without using the centralized DNS seeds. getnodeaddresses is very similar to the getaddr p2p method.
Please advise me on the best approach for writing an automated test. By my reading the getaddr p2p method also isn't really tested.

Currently the `unloadwallet` RPC is asynchronous, it only signals the intent to unload the wallet and then returns the response to the client. The actual unload can happen later and the client has no way to be notified of that.
This PR makes the `unloadwallet` RPC synchronous, meaning that it blocks until the wallet is fully unloaded.

f1bd03eb013b96ff040a8f835e4137fbd2a38cda [depends, zmq, doc] upgrade zeromq to 4.2.5 and avoid deprecated zeromq api functions (mruddy)
Pull request description:
Upgrade the ZeroMQ dependency from version 4.2.3 to the latest stable version 4.2.5.
This PR Follows the lead of https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11986.
I upgraded both patch files to correspond to the version `4.2.5` libzmq files.
I assume doing so is still necessary and correct.
Without updating the patch line numbers, things appear to work, but you get extra log messages while building `depends` because things don't exactly match, e.g.:
```
/bitcoin/depends> make zeromq
Extracting zeromq...
/bitcoin/depends/sources/zeromq-4.2.5.tar.gz: OK
Preprocessing zeromq...
patching file src/windows.hpp
Hunk #1 succeeded at 58 (offset 3 lines).
patching file src/thread.cpp
Hunk #1 succeeded at 307 with fuzz 2 (offset 87 lines).
Hunk #2 succeeded at 323 with fuzz 2 (offset 90 lines).
```
Updating the patches seemed cleaner, so I did it. Note that libzmq had some whitespace changes, so that's why the updated patches do too.

9d0e52834 implements different disk sizes for different networks on intro (marcoagner)
Pull request description:
Fixes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/13213.
Mostly, I layed out the concept to open the PR for refinement and getting feedback if the approach is okay. Changes are expected.
Two points:
- The values for both new consts `TESTNET_BLOCK_CHAIN_SIZE` and `TESTNET_CHAIN_STATE_SIZE` is certainly not optimal; I just checked the size of my testnet3 related dirs and set them to little bit higher values. Which values should be used?
- Should we do something like this to regtest? Or these "niceties" do not matter when on regtest?
Thanks!

13782b8ba8 docs: add perf section to developer docs (James O'Beirne)
58180b5fd4 tests: add utility to easily profile node performance with perf (James O'Beirne)
Pull request description:
Adds a context manager to easily (and selectively) profile node performance during functional test execution using `perf`.
While writing some tests, I encountered some odd bitcoind slowness. I wrote up a utility (`TestNode.profile_with_perf`) that generates performance diagnostics for a node by running `perf` during the execution of a particular region of test code.
`perf` usage is detailed in the excellent (and sadly unmerged) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12649; all due props to @eklitzke.
### Example
```python
with node.profile_with_perf("large-msgs"):
for i in range(200):
node.p2p.send_message(some_large_msg)
node.p2p.sync_with_ping()
```
This generates a perf data file in the test node's datadir (`/tmp/testtxmpod0y/node0/node-0-TestName-large-msgs.perf.data`).
Running `perf report` generates nice output about where the node spent most of its time while running that part of the test:
```bash
$ perf report -i /tmp/testtxmpod0y/node0/node-0-TestName-large-msgs.perf.data --stdio \
| c++filt \
| less
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
