Made some edits to rpc/client.cpp on the advice of test/functional/rpc_help.py
to make the "RPC conversion tables" consistent, but I have no idea what these
tables are or what they're for. I assume, given that nobody has noticed these
inconsistencies ever, that they're fine.
Also rename libbitcoin_consensus to libelements_consensus more
consistently in src/Makefile.am. I'm not sure this was causing any
problems but it did make it harder to follow what autotools is
thinking.

This package is currently installed as a side-effect of installing our
other libboost-*-dev packages. However as those continue to dissapear,
it makes sense to install boost dev explicitly.
3f8776a139 Re-add dead code detection (flack)
Pull request description:
This re-adds unreachable code detection for Python based on `vulture`.
Effectively, this reverts f4beb4996d. The difference to the previous version is that this runs with the `--min-confidence 100` setting. From https://pypi.org/project/vulture/:
> Use `--min-confidence 100` to only report code that is guaranteed to be unused within the analyzed files.
So this should avoid the previous issues where static analysis had wrong positives due to the dynamic nature of Python code by only reporting things that are unambiguous (such as code after a `return` statement). As such, there is not suppressions list.
My motivation was mainly #21081 which would have been caught by this (as can be seen by the CI run failing). This is still marked as draft because #21081 is needed to get the linter to pass. Also, there is a second problem that this found (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19509/files#r571454691). From what I can tell, this is a spurious type comment that could just be removed (or if that line has no side effects it could also be deleted altogether?). I could add a commit here to fix it, but I wanted to see if there is interest in having this linter again in the first place

7097add83c refactor: replace Boost shared_mutex with std shared_mutex in sigcache (fanquake)
8e55981ef8 refactor: replace Boost shared_mutex with std shared_mutex in cuckoocache tests (fanquake)
Pull request description:
This replaces `boost::shared_mutex` and `boost::unique_lock` with [`std::shared_mutex`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/shared_mutex) & [`std::unique_lock`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/unique_lock).
Even though [some concerns were raised](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16684#issuecomment-726214696) in #16684 with regard to `std::shared_mutex` being unsafe to use across some glibc versions, I still think this change is an improvement. As I mentioned in #21022, I also think trying to restrict standard library feature usage based on bugs in glibc is not only hard to do, but it's not currently clear exactly how we do that in practice (does it also extend to patching out use in our dependencies, should we be implementing more runtime checks for features we are using, when do we consider an affected glibc "old enough" not to worry about? etc). If you take a look through the [glibc bug tracker](https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/describecomponents.cgi?product=glibc) you'll no doubt find plenty of (active) bug reports for standard library code we already using. Obviously not to say we shouldn't try and avoid buggy code where possible.
Two other points:
[Cory mentioned in #21022](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21022#issuecomment-769274179):
> It also seems reasonable to me to worry that boost hits the same underlying glibc bug, and we've just not happened to trigger the right conditions yet.
Moving away from Boost to the standard library also removes the potential for differences related to Boosts configuration. Boost has multiple versions of `shared_mutex`, and what you end up using, and what it's backed by depends on:
* The version of Boost.
* The platform you're building for.
* Which version of `BOOST_THREAD_VERSION` is defined: (2,3,4 or 5) default=2. (see [here](https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_70_0/doc/html/thread/build.html#thread.build.configuration) for some of the differences).
* Is `BOOST_THREAD_V2_SHARED_MUTEX` defined? (not by default). If so, you might get the ["less performant, but more robust"](https://github.com/boostorg/thread/issues/230#issuecomment-475937761) version of `shared_mutex`.
A lot of these factors are eliminated by our use of depends, but users will have varying configurations. It's also not inconceivable to think that a distro, or some package manager might start defining something like `BOOST_THREAD_VERSION=3`. Boost tried to change the default from 2 to 3 at one point.
With this change, we no longer use Boost Thread, so this PR also removes it from depends, the build system, CI etc.
Previous similar PRs were #19183 & #20922. The authors are included in the commits here.
Also related to #21022 - pthread sanity checking.

2ecaf21433 gitian: remove execstack workaround for ricv64 & powerpc64le (fanquake)
5baff2b318 build: use focal in gitian descriptors (fanquake)
Pull request description:
This PR changes the gitian descriptors to use Ubuntu Focal (20.04), over Bionic (18.04), moving from GCC 7.5 to GCC 8.4 for native Linux builds, mingw-w64 GCC 7.3 to mingw-w64 GCC 9.3 for Windows builds, while continuing to use GCC 8.4 for all cross builds and Clang 8.0.0 for macOS builds.
It also drops the `-Wl,-z,noexecstack` workaround we've been using for the riscv64 and powerpc64le hosts, as it's no-longer needed. One new package is installed in the osx build, `libtinfo5`, as libtinfo5.so is required by our downloaded Clang 8.
A bump to Focal will at least be required if we want to update to a newer Qt (5.15, #19716) for 22.0, as we need a newer version of [`g++-mingw-w64`](https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/g++-mingw-w64-x86-64) and the [`mingw-w64`](https://mingw-w64.org/doku.php) headers. This can still be done while continuing to use GCC 8.4 for Linux builds (see below), however the newer `g++-mingw-w64` will be based off of GCC 9.3.
**Some considerations**
GCC 9 is affected by #20005 "memcmp with constants that contain zero bytes are broken in GCC", and the newer `g++-mingw-w64` will be based off of GCC 9.3.
The `--no-*` variants of the Windows linker flags (i.e `--no-dynamicbase`) we use to [test our `security-check.py` script](16b784d953/contrib/devtools/test-security-check.py (L53)) are not patched into the mingw binutils in Focal (they have been re-added in Groovy (20.10)). This isn't currently an issue, however, we might add a call to `test-security-check` for Guix (#20980), and if we wanted to do the same for gitian, it would not work. Note how it's quite "easy" for us to apply the `--no-*` variant patch to our Guix build; it would be quite a bit harder to do in Gitian.

This fixes issue #19388. The changes are as follows:
- Add a new flag to configure, --enable-fuzz-binary, which allows building test/fuzz/fuzz regardless of whether we are building to do actual fuzzing
- Set -DPROVIDE_MAIN_FUNCTION whenever --enable-fuzz is no
- Add the following libraries to FUZZ_SUITE_LD_COMMON:
- LIBBITCOIN_WALLET
- SQLLITE_LIBS
- BDB_LIBS
- if necessary, some or all of:
- NATPMP_LIBS
- MINIUPNPC_LIBS
- LIBBITCOIN_ZMQ / ZMQ_LIBS
Compilers used change as follows:
Linux native GCC 7.5 -> GCC 8.4
Linux cross GCC 8.4 -> GCC 8.4
Windows mingw-w64 7.3 -> mingw-w64 9.3
macOS Clang 8.0.0 -> Clang 8.0.0
The macOS and Win cross builds in the CI are updated to use Focal, and
per the op, running the security tests is disabled in the Windows
build.
