rABC038e6a22db0b: Add -uaclientname and -uaclientversion config options to set the client name…
Summary

Since BCHD unconditionally disconnects from nodes containing the "Bitcoin ABC" string, we cannot use it to connect to a Bitcoin ABC node, even if connected directly using -connect. This option allows to circumvent that feature.

This breaks the -uacomment flag.

Changed to -uaclient, which sets the client name and version of the user agent, staying compatible with -uacomment

Why? And if that is a requirement, why not ask for a client name and a version number rather than this?

You are branching twice on the same condition for pretty much the same reason (see here comment).

This is indicative of brittle design. For instance, if you take client name + version, then you can simply use the same function in both cases, but if you do not, then you can still create a default uaclient from CLIENT_NAME and CLIENT_VERSION. Either way, this current way of doing it doesn't make sense.

Changed FormatSubVersion to FormatUserAgent and solely use FormatSubVersionUserAgent now

Why not have two flags that can be set, -uaclientname, and -uaclientversion ?

Seems like that would be the simplest solution.

It doesn't looks like this should be enforced.

That check happens within gArgs.GetArg already.

Changed to -uaclientname and -uaclientversion as discussed.

It looks like to me this got a bit out of control. In D9637, you split FormatSubVersion in two, and in this, you do it again. At this rate, 8 more patches and we get 1024 variation of that function.

There are several function with only one callsite that do serve much of a purpose in this. You need to simplify.

src/clientversion.cpp

Merge this with FormatSubVersionUserAgent, these function don't make sense on their own.

src/init.cpp
2322 ↗(On Diff #28980)

Every single call site contains both function calls, this is the kind of sign you must not ignore. You don't need me to tell you this, the code already told you this.

src/net.cpp
3219 ↗(On Diff #28980)

The only thing that shoudl change in there is the check for parameter's value and related code. Everything else is gratuitous complexity.

Merged FormatUserAgent and FormatSubVersionUserAgent
