rABCeea74d5db50f: p2p: Remove BIP61 reject messages
Summary

Reject messages (BIP 61) appear in the following settings:

  • Parsing of reject messages (in case -debug=net is set, off by default). This has only been used for a single LogPrint call for several releases now. Such logging is completely meaningless to us and should thus be removed.
  • The sending of reject messages (in case -enablebip61 is set, off by default). This can be used to debug a node that is under our control. Instead of hacking this debugging into the p2p protocol, it could be more easily achieved by parsing the debug log. (Use -printtoconsole to have it as stream, or read from the debug.log file like our python function assert_debug_log in the test framework does)

    Having to maintain all of this logic and code to accommodate debugging, which can be achieved by other means a lot easier, is a burden. It makes review on net processing changes a lot harder, since the reject message logic has to be carried around without introducing any errors or DOS vectors.

The version needs to be updated to match Bitcoin ABC's

Why is it still necessary? It seems like there is something specific to our codebase here that need to be cleaned up.

There is a comment missing here that likely comes from a missing dependency. What is the plan for that dependency?

Found it: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/14365/files

It is a PR that I ignored previously because the title mentioned Travis. I will backport it for the removal of dead code.

It seems this comment and associated parameter -par=1 was left out intentionally in
D3875 (backport PR14119):

Reviewer note: Some parts of the test differ due to changes done in D521. I left out the forced single-threaded validation since it's no longer relevant.
