d54874d Set SCHED_BATCH priority on the loadblk thread. (Evan Klitzke)
Pull request description:
Today I came across #10271, and while reading the discussion #6358 was linked to. Linux systems have a `SCHED_BATCH` scheduler priority that is useful for threads like loadblk. You can find the full details at [sched(7)](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/sched.7.html), but I'll quote the relevant part of the man page below:
> ...this policy will cause the scheduler to always assume that the thread is
CPU-intensive. Consequently, the scheduler will apply a small scheduling penalty
with respect to wakeup behavior, so that this thread is mildly disfavored in
scheduling decisions.
>
> This policy is useful for workloads that are noninteractive, but do not want to
lower their nice value, and for workloads that want a deterministic scheduling
policy without interactivity causing extra preemptions (between the workload's
tasks).
I think this change is useful independently of #10271 and irrespective of whether that change is merged. Under normal operation the loadblk thread will just import `mempool.dat`. However, if Bitcoin is started with `-reindex` or `-reindex-chainstate` this thread will use a great deal of CPU while it rebuilds the chainstate database (and the block database in the case of `-reindex`). By setting `SCHED_BATCH` this thread is less likely to interfere with interactive tasks (e.g. the user's web browser, text editor, etc.).
I'm leaving the nice value unchanged (which also affects scheduling decisions) because I think that's better set by the user. Likewise I'm not using [ioprio_set(2)](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/ioprio_set.2.html) because it can cause the thread to become completely I/O starved (and knowledgeable users can use `ionice(1)` anyway).

fafcad3 doc: Add testmempoolaccept to release-notes (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Some fixups for #11742:
* Add release notes for the new rpc
* Fix a typo in the original pull
* Make the mempool reference passed to `CheckInputsFromMempoolAndCache` const, since that function is called before we return from ATMP and we must not modify the mempool.

Most logs should terminated with a '\n'. Some logs
are built up over multiple calls to logPrintf(), so
do not need a newline terminater. Comment all of
these 'continued' logs as a linter hing.

Based on suggestion by Pieter Wuille <pieter.wuille@gmail.com> at
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12119#issuecomment-357982763
After #12119, the NONE output type was overloaded to refer to either an output
type that couldn't be parsed, or to an automatic change output mode. This
change drops the NONE enum and uses a simple bool indicate parse failure, and a
new CHANGE_AUTO enum to refer the change output type.
This change is almost a pure refactoring except it makes RPCs reject empty
string ("") address types instead of treating them like they were unset. This
simplifies the parsing code a little bit and could prevent RPC usage mistakes.
It's noted in the release notes.

1e747e3c1e Make segwit failure due to CLEANSTACK violation return a SCRIPT_ERR_CLEANSTACK error code. (Mark Friedenbach)
Pull request description:
If a segwit script terminates with a stack size not equal to one, the current error code is EVAL_FALSE. This is semantically wrong, and prevents explicitly checking CLEANSTACK violations in the unit tests. This PR changes the error code (and affected unit tests) to use SCRIPT_ERROR_CLEANSTACK instead of SCRIPT_ERROR_EVAL_FALSE.

Pull request description:
A pubkey's length is specific to its type which is indicated by its header value. GetLen returns the header-indicated length, so this change ensures that a key matches its header-indicated length.
And replace some magic values with their constant equivalents.
