da347de530 doc: update broken links (pablomartin4btc)
Pull request description:
References to `utilstrencodings` and `lint-locale-dependence.sh` where incorrect, updating them accordingly.
Also, adding another reference to util function [`LocaleIndependentAtoi`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/util/strencodings.h#L108-L118), which is related with the updated section of the guide:
```
// LocaleIndependentAtoi is provided for backwards compatibility reasons.
//
// New code should use ToIntegral or the ParseInt* functions
// which provide parse error feedback.
//
// The goal of LocaleIndependentAtoi is to replicate the defined behaviour of
// std::atoi as it behaves under the "C" locale, and remove some undefined
// behavior. If the parsed value is bigger than the integer type's maximum
// value, or smaller than the integer type's minimum value, std::atoi has
// undefined behavior, while this function returns the maximum or minimum
// values, respectively.

Constructs like
```cpp
AssertLockNotHeld(m);
LOCK(m);
```
are equivalent to
```cpp
LOCK(m);
```
for non-recursive mutexes, so it is ok to omit `AssertLockNotHeld()` in
such cases.
75347236f2 docs: document c-style cast prohibition (Pasta)
Pull request description:
In the words of practicalswift:
```
A C-style cast is equivalent to try casting in the following order:
const_cast(...)
static_cast(...)
const_cast(static_cast(...))
reinterpret_cast(...)
const_cast(reinterpret_cast(...))
By using static_cast<T>(...) explicitly we avoid the possibility of an unintentional and
dangerous reinterpret_cast. Furthermore static_cast<T>(...) allows for easier grepping of casts.
For a more thorough discussion, see "ES.49: If you must use a cast, use a named cast"
in the C++ Core Guidelines (Stroustrup & Sutter).
```
Modern tooling, specifically `-Wold-style-cast` can enable us to enforce never using C-style casts. I believe this is especially important due to the number of C-style casts the codebase is currently being used as a reinterpret_cast. reinterpret_casts are especially dangerous, and should never be done via C-style casts.
Update the docs to suggest the use of named cast or functional casts.

Pull request description:
This changes `LOCK(mutex)` for non-global, non-recursive mutexes to be annotated with the negative capability for the mutex it refers to, to prevent . clang applies negative capabilities recursively, so this helps avoid forgetting to annotate functions.
This can't reasonably be used for globals, because clang would require every function to be annotated with `EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED(!g_mutex)` for each global mutex; so this introduces a trivial `GlobalMutex` subclass of `Mutex`, and reduces the annotations for both `GlobalMutex` to `LOCKS_EXCLUDED` which only catches trivial errors (eg (`LOCK(x); LOCK(x);`).

05f9770c1f doc: Clarify developer notes about constant naming (Russell Yanofsky)

I'm pretty sure developer notes were intended to say constants should be upper case and variables should be lower case, but right now they are ambiguous about whether to write:
```c++

First convention above is better than the second convention because it tells you without having to look anything up that the value of `SYMBOL` won't change at runtime. Also I haven't seen other c++ projects using the second convention.

13782b8ba8 docs: add perf section to developer docs (James O'Beirne)
58180b5fd4 tests: add utility to easily profile node performance with perf (James O'Beirne)
Pull request description:
Adds a context manager to easily (and selectively) profile node performance during functional test execution using `perf`.
While writing some tests, I encountered some odd bitcoind slowness. I wrote up a utility (`TestNode.profile_with_perf`) that generates performance diagnostics for a node by running `perf` during the execution of a particular region of test code.
`perf` usage is detailed in the excellent (and sadly unmerged) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/12649; all due props to @eklitzke.
### Example
```python
with node.profile_with_perf("large-msgs"):
for i in range(200):
node.p2p.send_message(some_large_msg)
node.p2p.sync_with_ping()
```
This generates a perf data file in the test node's datadir (`/tmp/testtxmpod0y/node0/node-0-TestName-large-msgs.perf.data`).
Running `perf report` generates nice output about where the node spent most of its time while running that part of the test:
```bash
$ perf report -i /tmp/testtxmpod0y/node0/node-0-TestName-large-msgs.perf.data --stdio \
| c++filt \
| less
# To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

I couldn't find documentation as to why (these things just happen in open source of course), but at minimum we should make this more clear.
