9b6454c Improve "Turn Windows Features On or Off" step (Ernest Hemingway)
Pull request description:
Originally, this readme suggests searching for 'turn' to open this dialog but this will not necessarily work on all windows 10 PCs. It's better to use the executable name instead, which is consistent across installations.

fabb72b contrib: Remove xpired 522739F6 key (MarcoFalke)
faeab66 contrib: Replace developer keys with list of pgp fingerprints (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Having to host a copy of the keys in this repo was a common source of discussion and distraction, caused by problems such as:
* Outdated keys. Unclear whether and when to replace by fresh copies.
* Unclear when to add a key of a new developer or Gitian builder.
The problems are solved by
* Having no keys but only the fingerprints
* Adding a rule of thumb, when to add a new key
<strike>Moving the keys to a different repo solves none of these issues, but since the keys are not bound to releases or git branches of Bitcoin Core, they should live somewhere else.
Obviously, all keys are hosted and distributed on key servers, but were added to the repo solely for convenience and redundancy.
Moving the mirror of those keys to a different repo makes it less distracting to update them -- let's say -- prior to every major release.
I updated our `doc/release-process.md` to reflect the new location.

Also warn if bitcoind is configured to use a relative -datadir path.
Specifying paths relative to the current working directory in a daemon process
can be dangerous, because files can fail to be located even if the
configuration doesn't change, but the daemon is started up differently.
Specifying a relative -datadir now adds a warning to the debug log. It would
not be backwards-compatible to forbid relative -datadir paths entirely, and it
could also be also inconvenient for command line testing.
Specifying a relative -walletdir now results in a startup error. But since the
-walletdir option is new in 0.16.0, there should be no compatibility issues.
Another reason not to use working directory paths for -walletdir specifically
is that the default -walletdir is a "wallets" subdirectory inside the datadir,
so it could be surprising that setting -walletdir manually would choose a
directory rooted in a completely different location.

6915f93 doc: Update OpenBSD build instructions for 6.2 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
(this continues #11442)
There is no more need to install a new compiler. This simplifies instructions a lot.
From discussion with @fanquake on IRC I first wanted to add a new section for 6.2, but that made the document a complex mess. I think it's good enough (and more maintainable too) to only support the most recent release.
Includes #11976.
I moved the "resource limits" section to the end as I didn't seem to need it with clang, but this may vary based on source changes and the phase of the moon so it's good to keep it as optional extra information.

GUI wallet uses RBF by default, regardless of -walletrbf.
RPC and debug console in the GUI remain unchanged; they don't
use RBF by default, unless launched with -walletrbf=1.

Pull request description:
As discussed in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11289#issuecomment-334600457, adds the CScripts from the wallet to the `dumpwallet` RPC and then allows them to be imported with the `importwallet` RPC. Includes a basic test, and modifies the helptext of the dumpwallet RPC.
Notes:
- Reviewers: use `?w=1` to avoid the indentation-only change in commit `Add scripts to importwallet RPC `
- currently the scripts are followed with `# addr=` comments just as the other keys are, unsure if this might confuse users into thinking all the scripts are for valid P2SH addresses though, but I don't think that should be an issue.
- there are no birthtimes for scripts, so script imports don't affect rescans
- `importwallet` imports the CScripts but I'm not sure how to approach specifying whether scripts are for P2SH addresses, BIP173 addresses, etc. whether that matters or not. Otherwise the RPC helptext might just need modification.
Fixes#11715

b798f9b contrib: New clang patch for install_db4 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
This PR improves the BSD compatibility of the bdb4 installer script.
See #11921, #11868.
I've tested this on OpenBSD 6.2 (clang) and Ubuntu 16.04 (gcc).
This needs testing on OSX at least, ~~and on gcc/Linux to make sure that applying the patch unconditionally doesn't negatively affect gcc~~.
~~NB: this is not yet sufficient to make `install_db4.sh` work on FreeBSD, as we need to use yet another `sha256` tool there. But it's a step in the right direction.~~
### contrib: New clang patch for install_db4
Replace the clang patch with a new and improved version that also fixes the build issues with OpenBSD and FreeBSD's clang, and apply it unconditionally.
Thanks to @fanquake for finding the patch.
### contrib: Make X=Y arguments work in install_db4
Trailing X=Y arguments are supposed to be passed through unchanged to bdb's configure. This was not the case, at least with OpenBSD 6.2's shell.
Fix this by not storing the arguments in a temporary variable but passing "$@" through directly.
### contrib: FreeBSD compatibility in install_db4.sh
Unfortunately, FreeBSD uses yet another syntax for `sha256`.
Support FreeBSD's syntax too. Using `uname` is a bit of a hack but it works and I found no way to distinguish the two.
