Starting with Tor version 0.2.7.1 it is possible, through Tor's control socket
API, to create and destroy 'ephemeral' hidden services programmatically.
https://stem.torproject.org/api/control.html#stem.control.Controller.create_ephemeral_hidden_service
This means that if Tor is running (and proper authorization is available),
bitcoin automatically creates a hidden service to listen on, without user
manual configuration. This will positively affect the number of available
.onion nodes.
- When the node is started, connect to Tor through control socket
- Send `ADD_ONION` command
- First time:
- Make it create a hidden service key
- Save the key in the data directory for later usage
- Make it redirect port 8333 to the local port 8333 (or whatever port we're listening on).
- Keep control socket connection open for as long node is running. The hidden service will
(by default) automatically go away when the connection is closed.

Instead of only checking height to decide whether to disable script checks,
actually check whether a block is an ancestor of a checkpoint, up to which
headers have been validated. This means that we don't have to prevent
accepting a side branch anymore - it will be safe, just less fast to
do.
We still need to prevent being fed a multitude of low-difficulty headers
filling up our memory. The mechanism for that is unchanged for now: once
a checkpoint is reached with headers, no headers chain branching off before
that point are allowed anymore.
- removes mapBlockIndex find operation
- theoretically allows removing the cs_main lock during zqm notification while introducing a new file position lock
Issue #1851 shows that a zaddr->taddr can be rejected from mempools
due to not meeting fee requirements given the size of the transaction.
Fee calculation for joinsplit txs has not yet been agreed upon, so
during this interim period, this patch ensures joinsplit txs using
the default fee are not rejected due to an insufficient fee.
This also corrects a rule about admitting large orphan transactions into the mempool, to account for v2-specific fields.

Upstream patch: Fix and improve relay from whitelisted peers
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7106
a9f3d3db5c0c8d1697998ed9b3e192ddbf9a31f4
An extra commit modifies the log message string, otherwise there are are a number of commits that need be to backported to add methods e.g. GetDebugMessage. These commits modify the interface in consensus/validation.h so there are conflicts to be resolved. e.g.

a9ac95c

This makes sure that retransmits by a whitelisted peer also actually
result in a retransmit.
Further, this changes the logic to never relay in case we would assign
a DoS score, as we expect to get DoS banned ourselves as a result.
The setAskFor duplicate elimination was too eager and removed entries
when we still had no getdata response, allowing the peer to keep
INVing and not responding.
mapAlreadyAskedFor does not keep track of which peer has a request queued for a
particular tx. As a result, a peer can blind a node to a tx indefinitely by
sending many invs for the same tx, and then never replying to getdatas for it.
Each inv received will be placed 2 minutes farther back in mapAlreadyAskedFor,
so a short message containing 10 invs would render that tx unavailable for 20
minutes.
This is fixed by disallowing a peer from having more than one entry for a
particular inv in mapAlreadyAskedFor at a time.
