rpc: getrawaddrman for addrman entries
Exposing address manager table entries in a hidden RPC allows to introspect addrman tables in tests and during development. As response JSON object the following FORMAT1 is choosen: { "table": { "<bucket>/<position>": { "address": "..", "port": .., ... }, "<bucket>/<position>": { "address": "..", "port": .., ... }, "<bucket>/<position>": { "address": "..", "port": .., ... }, ... } } An alternative would be FORMAT2 { "table": { "bucket": { "position": { "address": "..", "port": .., ... }, "position": { "address": "..", "port": .., ... }, .. }, "bucket": { "position": { "address": "..", "port": .., ... }, .. }, } } FORMAT1 and FORMAT2 have different encodings for the location of the address in the address manager. While FORMAT2 might be easier to process for downstream tools, it also mimics internal addrman mappings, which might change at some point. Users not interested in the address location can ignore the location key. They don't have to adapt to a new RPC response format, when the internal addrman layout changes. Additionally, FORMAT1 is also slightly easier to to iterate in downstream tools. The RPC response-building implemenation complexcity is lower with FORMAT1 as we can more easily build a "<bucket>/<position>" key than a multiple "bucket" objects with multiple "position" objects (FORMAT2).
