Pull request description:
#### # Context (Current Flow on Master)
In the transaction creation process, in order to select which coins the new transaction will spend,
we first obtain all the available coins known by the wallet, which means walking-through the
wallet txes map, gathering the ones that fulfill certain spendability requirements in a vector.
This coins vector is then provided to the Coin Selection process, which first checks if the user
has manually selected any input (which could be internal, aka known by the wallet, or external),
and if it does, it fetches them by searching each of them inside the wallet and/or inside the
Coin Control external tx data.
Then, after finding the pre-selected-inputs and gathering them in a vector, the Coin Selection
process walks-through the entire available coins vector once more just to erase coins that are
in both vectors. So the Coin Selection process doesn’t pick them twice (duplicate inputs inside
the same transaction).
#### # Process Workflow Changes
Now, a new method, `FetchCoins` will be responsible for:
1) Lookup the user pre-selected-inputs (which can be internal or external).
2) And, fetch the available coins in the wallet (excluding the already fetched ones).
Which will occur prior to the Coin Selection process. Which allows us to never include the
pre-selected-inputs inside the available coins vector in the first place, as well as doing other
nice improvements (written below).
So, Coin Selection can perform its main responsibility without mixing it with having to fetch
internal/external coins nor any slow and unneeded duplicate coins verification.
#### # Summarizing the Improvements:
1) If any pre-selected-input lookup fail, the process will return the error right away.
(before, the wallet was fetching all the wallet available coins, walking through the
entire txes map, and then failing for an invalid pre-selected-input inside SelectCoins)
2) The pre-selected-inputs lookup failure causes are properly described on the return error.
(before, we were returning an "Insufficient Funds" error for everything, even if the failure
was due a not solvable external input)
3) **Faster Coin Selection**: no longer need to "remove the pre-set inputs from the available coins
vector so that Coin Selection doesn't pick them" (which meant to loop-over the entire
available coins vector at Coin Selection time, erasing duplicate coins that were pre-selected).
Now, the available coins vector, which is built after the pre-selected-inputs fetching,
doesn’t include the already selected inputs in the first place.
4) **Faster transaction creation** for transactions that only use manually selected inputs.
We now will return early, as soon as we finish fetching the pre-selected-inputs and
not perform the resources expensive calculation of walking-through the entire wallet
txes map to obtain the available coins (coins that we will not use).
---------------------------
Added a new bench (f6d0bb2) measuring the transaction creation process, for a wallet with ~250k UTXO, only using the pre-selected-inputs inside coin control. Setting `m_allow_other_inputs=false` to disallow the wallet to include coins automatically.

This directory contains the source code for the Bitcoin Core graphical user interface (GUI). It uses the Qt cross-platform framework.
The current precise version for Qt 5 is specified in qt.mk.
Compile and run
See build instructions: Unix, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
When following your systems build instructions, make sure to install the Qt dependencies.
To run:
./src/qt/bitcoin-qt
Files and Directories
forms/
- A directory that contains Designer UI files. These files specify the characteristics of form elements in XML. Qt UI files can be edited with Qt Creator or using any text editor.
locale/
- Contains translations. They are periodically updated and an effort is made to support as many languages as possible. The process of contributing translations is described in doc/translation_process.md.
res/
- Contains graphical resources used to enhance the UI experience.
test/
- Functional tests used to ensure proper functionality of the GUI. Significant changes to the GUI code normally require new or updated tests.
bitcoingui.(h/cpp)
- Represents the main window of the Bitcoin UI.
*model.(h/cpp)
- The model. When it has a corresponding controller, it generally inherits from QAbstractTableModel. Models that are used by controllers as helpers inherit from other Qt classes like QValidator.
- ClientModel is used by the main application
bitcoinguiand several models likepeertablemodel.
*page.(h/cpp)
- A controller.
:NAMEpage.cppgenerally includes:NAMEmodel.handforms/:NAME.page.uiwith a similar:NAME.
*dialog.(h/cpp)
- Various dialogs, e.g. to open a URL. Inherit from QDialog.
paymentserver.(h/cpp)
- (Deprecated) Used to process BIP21 payment URI requests. Also handles URI-based application switching (e.g. when following a bitcoin:... link from a browser).
walletview.(h/cpp)
- Represents the view to a single wallet.
Other .h/cpp files
- UI elements like BitcoinAmountField, which inherit from QWidget.

Using Qt Creator as an IDE
Qt Creator is a powerful tool which packages a UI designer tool (Qt Designer) and a C++ IDE into one application. This is especially useful if you want to change the UI layout.
Download Qt Creator
On Unix and macOS, Qt Creator can be installed through your package manager. Alternatively, you can download a binary from the Qt Website.
Note: If installing from a binary grabbed from the Qt Website: During the installation process, uncheck everything except for Qt Creator.
macOS
brew install qt-creator
Ubuntu & Debian
sudo apt-get install qtcreator
