ccccd51908 script: Remove undocumented and unused operator+ (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
This operator has no documented use case and is also unused outside of test code. The test code and all other (imaginary) code that might use this operator is written more clear and concise by the existing CScript push operators for opcodes and data.
Removing the operator is also going to protect against accidentally reintroducing bugs like this 6ff5f718b6 (diff-8458adcedc17d046942185cb709ff5c3L1135) (last time it was used).

prototypes used in src/test/script_tests.cpp:
- CMutableTransaction BuildCreditingTransaction(const CScript& scriptPubKey, int nValue = 0);
- CMutableTransaction BuildSpendingTransaction(const CScript& scriptSig, const CScriptWitness& scriptWitness, const CTransaction& txCredit);
prototypes used in bench/verify_script.cpp:
- CMutableTransaction BuildCreditingTransaction(const CScript& scriptPubKey);
- CMutableTransaction BuildSpendingTransaction(const CScript& scriptSig, const CMutableTransaction& txCredit);
The more generic versions from the script tests are moved into a new file pair
transaction_utils.cpp/h and the calls are adapted accordingly in the
verify_script benchmark (passing the nValue of 1 explicitely for
BuildCreditingTransaction(), passing empty scriptWitness explicitely and
converting txCredit parameter to CTransaction in BuildSpendingTransaction()).
Moves all of the various SigningProviders out of sign.{cpp,h} and
keystore.{cpp,h}. As such, keystore.{cpp,h} is also removed.
Includes and the Makefile are updated to reflect this. Includes were largely
changed using:
git grep -l "keystore.h" | xargs sed -i -e 's;keystore.h;script/signingprovider.h;g'
Moves the following utility methods to rpc/util and moves that unit to
libbitcoin_common so they can be accessed by all libraries.
- `RPCTypeCheck`
- `RPCTypeCheckArgument`
- `RPCTypeCheckObj`
- `AmountFromValue`
- `ParseHashV``ParseHashO`
- `ParseHexV`
- `ParseHexO`
- `HelpExampleCli`
- `HelpExampleRpc`

e306be7429 Use 72 byte dummy signatures when watching only inputs may be used (Andrew Chow)
48b1473c89 Use 71 byte signature for DUMMY_SIGNATURE_CREATOR (Andrew Chow)
18dfea0dd0 Always create 70 byte signatures with low R values (Andrew Chow)
Pull request description:
When creating signatures for transactions, always make one which has a 32 byte or smaller R and 32 byte or smaller S value. This results in signatures that are always less than 71 bytes (32 byte R + 32 byte S + 6 bytes DER + 1 byte sighash) with low R values. In most cases, the signature will be 71 bytes.
Because R is not mutable in the same way that S is, a low R value can only be found by trying different nonces. RFC 6979 for deterministic nonce generation has the option to specify additional entropy, so we simply use that and add a uin32_t counter which we increment in order to try different nonces. Nonces are sill deterministically generated as the nonce used will the be the first one where the counter results in a nonce that results in a low R value. Because different nonces need to be tried, time to produce a signature does increase. On average, it takes twice as long to make a signature as two signatures need to be created, on average, to find one with a low R.
Having a fixed size signature makes size calculations easier and also saves half a byte of transaction size, on average.
DUMMY_SIGNATURE_CREATOR has been modified to produce 71 byte dummy signatures instead of 72 byte signatures.

When extra entropy is not specified by the caller, CKey::Sign will
now always create a signature that has a low R value and is at most
70 bytes. The resulting signature on the stack will be 71 bytes when
the sighash byte is included.
Using low R signatures means that the resulting DER encoded signature
will never need to have additional padding to account for high R
values.
