P2P and network changes

-----------------------

64-
- This release removes support for Tor version 2 hidden services in favor of Tor
65-
v3 only, as the Tor network [dropped support for Tor
66-
v2](https://blog.torproject.org/v2-deprecation-timeline) with the release of
67-
Tor version 0.4.6. Henceforth, Bitcoin Core ignores Tor v2 addresses; it
68-
neither rumors them over the network to other peers, nor stores them in memory
69-
or to `peers.dat`. (#22050)
70-
71-
- Added NAT-PMP port mapping support via
72-
[`libnatpmp`](https://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/libnatpmp.html). (#18077)

Updated RPCs

------------

77-
- Due to [BIP 350](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0350.mediawiki)
78-
being implemented, behavior for all RPCs that accept addresses is changed when
79-
a native witness version 1 (or higher) is passed. These now require a Bech32m
80-
encoding instead of a Bech32 one, and Bech32m encoding will be used for such
81-
addresses in RPC output as well. No version 1 addresses should be created
82-
for mainnet until consensus rules are adopted that give them meaning
83-
(e.g. through [BIP 341](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0341.mediawiki)).
84-
Once that happens, Bech32m is expected to be used for them, so this shouldn't
85-
affect any production systems, but may be observed on other networks where such
86-
addresses already have meaning (like signet). (#20861)
87-
88-
- The `getpeerinfo` RPC returns two new boolean fields, `bip152_hb_to` and
89-
`bip152_hb_from`, that respectively indicate whether we selected a peer to be
90-
in compact blocks high-bandwidth mode or whether a peer selected us as a
91-
compact blocks high-bandwidth peer. High-bandwidth peers send new block
92-
announcements via a `cmpctblock` message rather than the usual inv/headers
93-
announcements. See BIP 152 for more details. (#19776)
94-
95-
- `getpeerinfo` no longer returns the following fields: `addnode`, `banscore`,
96-
and `whitelisted`, which were previously deprecated in 0.21. Instead of
97-
`addnode`, the `connection_type` field returns manual. Instead of
98-
`whitelisted`, the `permissions` field indicates if the peer has special
99-
privileges. The `banscore` field has simply been removed. (#20755)
100-
101-
- The following RPCs: `gettxout`, `getrawtransaction`, `decoderawtransaction`,
102-
`decodescript`, `gettransaction`, and REST endpoints: `/rest/tx`,
103-
`/rest/getutxos`, `/rest/block` deprecated the following fields (which are no
104-
longer returned in the responses by default): `addresses`, `reqSigs`.
105-
The `-deprecatedrpc=addresses` flag must be passed for these fields to be
106-
included in the RPC response. This flag/option will be available only for this major release, after which
107-
the deprecation will be removed entirely. Note that these fields are attributes of
108-
the `scriptPubKey` object returned in the RPC response. However, in the response
109-
of `decodescript` these fields are top-level attributes, and included again as attributes
110-
of the `scriptPubKey` object. (#20286)
111-
112-
- When creating a hex-encoded bitcoin transaction using the `bitcoin-tx` utility
113-
with the `-json` option set, the following fields: `addresses`, `reqSigs` are no longer
114-
returned in the tx output of the response. (#20286)
115-
116-
- The `listbanned` RPC now returns two new numeric fields: `ban_duration` and `time_remaining`.
117-
Respectively, these new fields indicate the duration of a ban and the time remaining until a ban expires,
118-
both in seconds. Additionally, the `ban_created` field is repositioned to come before `banned_until`. (#21602)
119-
120-
- The `getnodeaddresses` RPC now returns a "network" field indicating the
121-
network type (ipv4, ipv6, onion, or i2p) for each address. (#21594)
122-
123-
- `getnodeaddresses` now also accepts a "network" argument (ipv4, ipv6, onion,
124-
or i2p) to return only addresses of the specified network. (#21843)
125-
126-
- The `testmempoolaccept` RPC now accepts multiple transactions (still experimental at the moment,
127-
API may be unstable). This is intended for testing transaction packages with dependency
128-
relationships; it is not recommended for batch-validating independent transactions. In addition to
129-
mempool policy, package policies apply: the list cannot contain more than 25 transactions or have a
130-
total size exceeding 101K virtual bytes, and cannot conflict with (spend the same inputs as) each other or
131-
the mempool, even if it would be a valid BIP125 replace-by-fee. There are some known limitations to
132-
the accuracy of the test accept: it's possible for `testmempoolaccept` to return "allowed"=True for a
133-
group of transactions, but "too-long-mempool-chain" if they are actually submitted. (#20833)
134-
135-
- `addmultisigaddress` and `createmultisig` now support up to 20 keys for
136-
Segwit addresses. (#20867)
