Move some static functions out of wallet.h/cpp
This commit just moves a few function declarations and updates callers.
Function bodies are moved in two followup MOVEONLY commits.
This change is desirable because wallet.h/cpp are monolithic and hard to
navigate, so pulling things out and grouping together pieces of related
functionality should improve the organization.
Another proximate motivation is the wallet process separation work in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10973, where (at least initially)
parameter parsing and fee estimation are still done in the main process rather
than the wallet process, and having functions that run in different processes
scrambled up throughout wallet.cpp is unnecessarily confusing.

Declare single-argument (non-converting) constructors `explicit`.
In order to avoid unintended implicit conversions.
For a more thorough discussion, see ["C.46: By default, declare single-argument constructors explicit"](http://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines#c46-by-default-declare-single-argument-constructors-explicit) in the C++ Core Guidelines (Stroustrup & Sutter).

Lint checks should not test these, they are historical documents,
and we don't want to encourage silly changes to them to satisfy
a checker.
Hopefully makes travis pass again on master.

77aa9e59e test: Check RPC argument mapping (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
Parse the dispatch tables from the server implementation files, and the conversion table from the client (see #10751).
Perform the following consistency checks:
- Arguments defined in conversion table, must be present in dispatch table. If not, it was probably forgotten to add them to the dispatch table, and they will not work.
- Arguments defined in conversion table must have the same names as in the dispatch table. If not, they will not work.
- All aliases for an argument must either be present in the conversion table, or not. Anything in between means an oversight and some aliases won't work.
Any of these results in an error.
It also performs a consistency check to see if the same named argument is sometimes converted, and sometimes not. E.g. one RPC call might have a 'verbose' argument that is converted,
another RPC call might have one that is not converted. This is not necessarily wrong, but points at a possible error (as well as makes the API harder to memorize) - so it is emitted as a warning (could upgrade this to error).
This test is added to travis and run when `CHECK_DOC`. Currently fails with the following output:
```
* Checking consistency between dispatch tables and vRPCConvertParams
ERROR: createrawtransaction argument 3 (named optintorbf in vRPCConvertParams) is not defined in dispatch table
ERROR: getblock argument ['verbosity', 'verbose'] has conflicts in vRPCConvertParams conversion specifier [True, False]
WARNING: conversion mismatch for argument named verbose ([('getblock', False), ('getblockheader', True), ('getmempoolancestors', True), ('getmempooldescendants', True), ('getrawmempool', True), ('getrawtransaction', True)])
```
- ~#10698 fixes the first ERROR~
- #10747 fixes the second ERROR, as well as the WARNING
Update: #10698 was merged, leaving:
```

There has been an example of p2p-leaktests.py failing on travis in the new service bits test (introduced in #11001 . It appeared to me that the previous p2p connections had not been fully disconnected before attempting to add new p2p connections.
I've added a sleep and restarted the NetworkThread, but I don't know whether this will fix the problem, since I'm unable to reproduce the failure locally.
@MarcoFalke - not sure what you want to do here? I don't think this change could make things any worse.

This speeds up mempool synchronization a lot due to trickling being forced.
This will later conflict with bitcoin#16493 and bitcoin#16535, but this can
easily be resolved (it does the same).
Otherwise we end up having the same list instance for every entry in
extra_args, which means modifying index 0 also affects all other indexes.
Noticed this while looking at "ps aux | grep dashd" output. It turned out
that parameters like "-dip3params" were passed multiple times to each node.
* Avoid unnecessary connections in dip3-deterministicmns.py

Use `nullptr` instead of zero (0) as the null pointer constant.
The road towards `nullptr` (C++11) is split into two PRs:
* `NULL` → `nullptr` is handled in PR #10483 (scripted)
* `0` → `nullptr` is handled in PR #10645 (manual, this PR)
By using the C++11 keyword `nullptr` we are guaranteed a prvalue of type `std::nullptr_t`.

* Strip whitespace from lines when reading from a notification file
* Instead of clumsily creating a file with weird permissions, just create a folder for the same effect in `mempool_persist.py`

1aa97ee08 Add savemempool RPC (Lawrence Nahum)
467cbbcbf Add return value to DumpMempool (Lawrence Nahum)
Pull request description:
Adds a simple parameterless rpc command to dump the mempool.
Rationale:
Sometimes there can be a crash for whatever reason (bug, power loss, etc) causing the mempool.dat file to not be saved.
This change allows to script/cron the rpc call to have more regular saves to the file as well as cli/ad-hoc.
This should solve issue https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/11086

ec6902d0e rpc: Push down safe mode checks (Andrew Chow)
Pull request description:
This contains most of the changes of #10563 "remove safe mode" by @achow101, but doesn't remove the safe mode yet, but put an `ObserveSafeMode()` check in (all 23) individual calls which used to have okSafeMode=false.
This cleans up the ugly "okSafeMode" flag from the dispatch tables, which is not a concern for the RPC server.

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.
