backport: Merge bitcoin#29967, 29904, 28144

[vijaydasmp]

Bitcoin backports

[coderabbitai]

Walkthrough

The URL decoder now uses a direct UrlDecode(std::string_view) implementation with std::from_chars, without libevent. Invalid percent sequences remain literal. Build configuration compiles the decoder unconditionally. Consumers, unit tests, and fuzz tests use the new API. The wallet RPC parser uses the direct decoder. The P2P caching test no longer sends explicit GETADDR messages, and connection lookup matches both local and destination endpoints.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 64626

The P2P test helper may reject successful hostname-based connections because destination addresses are compared in different formats. Normalize the endpoint before merging to avoid false functional-test failures.

Normalize dstaddr before matching addrbind.

P2PConnection preserves the caller-provided dstaddr, while asyncio resolves it for the connection. getpeerinfo()["addrbind"] reports the numeric bound address. A successful connection with dstaddr="localhost" can therefore produce different strings and fail assert_equal(len(info), 1). Normalize the destination endpoint before matching, or restrict this helper to canonical numeric addresses.

Final validation — Phase 2 only (queue backlog)

The backport changes are generally correct and aligned with the three stated Bitcoin Core changes. However, the new P2P consistency check compares the caller-supplied destination string with the node’s canonical RPC endpoint representation, causing valid connections using non-canonical hostnames or IPv6 addresses to fail after connection establishment.

In `test/functional/test_framework/test_node.py`:
- [BLOCKING] test/functional/test_framework/test_node.py:743-744: Normalize the destination address before comparing addrbind
  `p2p_conn.dstaddr` retains the caller-provided hostname or address, while `getpeerinfo()["addrbind"]` is serialized from the resolved local `CService` endpoint. Comparing `f"{p2p_conn.dstaddr}:{p2p_conn.dstport}"` verbatim therefore rejects valid connections such as `dstaddr="localhost"` when the node reports a numeric address. IPv6 destinations are also formatted incorrectly here (`::1:<port>` instead of `[::1]:<port>`), while `addrbind` uses canonical bracketed formatting. The connection succeeds, but `add_p2p_connection()` then fails its consistency assertion because `info` is empty. Resolve or canonicalize the destination using the same address-and-port formatting used by the node before performing the comparison, while retaining the port and peer-address checks.
