This gets rid of the special-casing of `strRPCUserColonPass` by hashing
cookies as well as manually provided `-rpcuser`/`-rpcpassword` with a
random salt before storing them.
Also take the opportunity to modernize the surrounding code a bit. There
should be no end-user visible differences in behavior.
Back in 2015, in #7044, we added configuration option `rpcauth` for
multiple RPC users. At the same time the old settings for single-user
configuration `rpcuser` and `rpcpassword` were "soon" to be deprecated.
The main reason for this deprecation is that while `-rpcpassword` stores
the password in plain text, `-rpcauth` stores a hash, so it doesn't
appear in the configuration in plain text.
As the options are still in active use, actually removing them is
expected to be a hassle to many, and it's not clear that is worth it. As
for the security risk, in many kinds of setups (no wallet,
containerized, single-user-single-application, local-only, etc) it is an
unlikely point of escalation.
In the end, it is good to encourage secure practices, but it is the
responsibility of the user. Log a clear warning but remove the
deprecation notice.
Closes#29240.
Treat specifying -norpcwhitelist the same as not specifying -rpcwhitelist,
instead of behaving almost the same but flipping the default
-rpcwhitelistdefault value.
This is confusing because before this change if -norpcwhitelist was specified
it would block users from calling any RPC methods.

Pull request description:
The current `rpcauth` parsing behavior is inconsistent and unintuitive (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29141#issuecomment-1972085251 and additional details below).
The current behavior inconsistently treats empty `rpcauth` as an error (or not) depending on the location within CLI/bitcoin.conf and the location of adjacent valid `rpcauth` params.
Empty `rpcauth` is now consistently treated as an error and prevents bitcoind from starting.
Continuation of the upforgrabs PR #29141.
### Additional details:
Current `rpcauth` behavior is nonsensical:
- If an empty `rpcauth` argument was specified as the last command line argument, it would cause all other `rpcauth` arguments to be ignored.
- If an empty `rpcauth` argument was specified on the command line followed by any nonempty `rpcauth` argument, it would cause an error.
- If an empty `rpcauth=` line was specified after non-empty rpcauth line in the config file it would cause an error.
- If an empty `rpcauth=` line in a config file was first it would cause other rpcauth entries in the config file to be ignored, unless there were `-rpcauth` command line arguments and the last one was nonempty, in which case it would cause an error.
New behavior is simple:
- If an empty rpcauth config line or command line argument is used it will cause an error

Pull request description:
This PR picks up #26088 by aureleoules which adds a bitcoind launch option `-rpccookieperms` to set the file permissions of the cookie generated by bitcoin core.
Example usage to make the generated cookie group-readable: `./src/bitcoind -rpccookieperms=group`.
Accepted values for `-rpccookieperms` are `[owner|group|all]`. We let `fs::perms` handle platform-specific permissions changes.

There are no changes to behavior. Changes in this commit are all additions, and
are easiest to review using "git diff -U0 --word-diff-regex=." options.
Motivation for this change is to keep util functions with really generic names
like "Split" and "Join" out of the global namespace so it is easier to see
where these functions are defined, and so they don't interfere with function
overloading, especially since the util library is a dependency of the kernel
library and intended to be used with external code.
For JSON-RPC 2.0 requests we need to distinguish between
a missing "id" field and "id":null. This is accomplished
by making the JSONRPCRequest id property a
std::optional<UniValue> with a default value of
UniValue::VNULL.
A side-effect of this change for non-2.0 requests is that request which do not
specify an "id" field will no longer return "id": null in the response.
Avoid returning HTTP status errors for non-batch JSON-RPC 2.0 requests if the
RPC method failed but the HTTP request was otherwise valid. Batch requests
already did not return HTTP errors previously.
as it was only needed for GetServicesNames(). This potentially avoids needlessly
compiling the 500 lines of protocol.h in the 35 files other than rpc/net.cpp
that include rpc/util.h.
Drop an unneeded CPubKey forward declaration. The other IWYU suggestions would
require more extensive changes in other files.
Add 3 already-missing include headers in other translation units that are needed
to compile without protocol.h in rpc/util.h, as it includes netaddress.h, which
in turn includes util/strencodings.h.
This is an extraction of ArgsManager related functions from util/system
into their own common file.
Config file related functions are moved to common/config.cpp.
The background of this commit is an ongoing effort to decouple the
libbitcoinkernel library from the ArgsManager. The ArgsManager belongs
into the common library, since the kernel library should not depend on
it. See doc/design/libraries.md for more information on this rationale.

Pull request description:
Before this PR we had the somewhat confusing combination of methods:
`CNetAddr::ToStringIP()`
`CNetAddr::ToString()` (duplicate of the above)
`CService::ToStringIPPort()`
`CService::ToString()` (duplicate of the above, overrides a non-virtual method from `CNetAddr`)
`CService::ToStringPort()`
Avoid [overriding non-virtual methods](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25349/#issuecomment-1185226396).
"IP" stands for "Internet Protocol" and while sometimes "IP addresses" are called just "IPs", it is incorrect to call Tor or I2P addresses "IPs". Thus use "Addr" instead of "IP".
Change the above to:
`CNetAddr::ToStringAddr()`
`CService::ToStringAddrPort()`
The changes touch a lot of files, but are mostly mechanical.

Both methods do the same thing, so simplify to having just one.
`ToString()` is too generic in this case and it is unclear what it does,
given that there are similar methods:
`ToStringAddr()` (inherited from `CNetAddr`),
`ToStringPort()` and
`ToStringAddrPort()`.
Base32/base64 are mechanisms for encoding binary data. That they'd
decode to a string is just bizarre. The fact that they'd do that
based on the type of input arguments even more so.

Pull request description:
This PR removes the `g_rpc_node` global, to get same benefits we see removing other globals and make RPC code more testable, modular, and reusable.
This uses a hybrid of the approaches suggested in #17548. Instead of using `std::any`, which isn't available in c++11, or `void*`, which isn't type safe, it uses a small new `util::Ref` helper class, which acts like a simplified `std::any` that only holds references, not values.
Motivation for writing this was to provide an simpler alternative to #18647 by Harris Brakmić (brakmic) which avoids some shortcomings of that PR (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18647#issuecomment-617878826)

The "A fatal internal error occurred, see debug.log for details" is
redundant because init.cpp will already show an InitError with a better
error message as well as the hint to check the debug.log
This is safe because MilliSleep is never executed in a boost::thread,
the only type of thread that is interruptible.
* The RPC server uses std::thread
* The wallet is either executed in an RPC thread or the main thread
* bitcoin-cli, benchmarks and tests are only one thread (the main thread)
