9e399b9b2d386b28c0c0ff59fc75d31dbec31d9c test: check parameter validity in rpc_signmessage.py (Sebastian Falbesoner)
e62f0c71f10def124b1c1219d790cef246a32c3e rpc: fix {sign,message}verify RPC errors for invalid address/signature (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
RPCs that accept address parameters usually return the intended error code `RPC_INVALID_ADDRESS_OR_KEY` (-5) if a passed address is invalid. The two exceptions to the rule are `signmessage` and `verifymessage`, which return `RPC_TYPE_ERROR` (-3) in this case instead. Oddly enough `verifymessage` returns `RPC_INVALID_ADDRESS_OR_KEY` when the _signature_ was malformed, where `RPC_TYPE_ERROR` would be more approriate.
This PR fixes these inaccuracies and as well adds tests to `rpc_signmessage.py` that check the parameter validity and error codes for the related RPCs `signmessagewithprivkey`, `signmessage` and `verifymessage`.

What is Dash?
Dash is an experimental digital currency that enables instant, private payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Dash uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Dash Core is the name of the open source software which enables the use of this currency.
Pre-Built Binary
For more information, as well as an immediately usable, binary version of the Dash Core software, see https://www.dash.org/downloads/.
License
Dash Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is meant to be stable. Development is normally done in separate branches.
Tags are created to indicate new official,
stable release versions of Dash Core.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python, that are run automatically on the build server.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Dash Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
Translators should also follow the forum.
