- case 1: in version 4.4.1, 4.4.2, the qml GUI wizard allowed creating multisig wallets with an old_mpk as cosigner.
- case 2: in version 4.4.0, 4.4.1, 4.4.2, the qml GUI wizard allowed creating multisig wallets with mixed xpub/Ypub/Zpub.
The corresponding missing input validation was a bug in the wizard, it was unintended behaviour. Validation was added in d2cf21fc2b. Note however that there might be users who created such wallet files.
Re case 1 wallet files: there is no version of Electrum that allows spending from such a wallet. Coins received at addresses are not burned, however it is technically challenging to spend them. (unless the multisig can spend without needing the old_mpk cosigner in the quorum).
Re case 2 wallet files: it is possible to create a corresponding spending wallet for such a multisig, however it is a bit tricky. The script type for the addresses in such a heterogeneous xpub wallet is based on the xpub_type of the first keystore. So e.g. given a wallet file [Yprv1, Zpub2] it will have sh(wsh()) scripts, and the cosigner should create a wallet file [Ypub1, Zprv2] (same order).
Technically case 2 wallet files could be "fixed" automatically by converting the xpub types as part of a wallet_db upgrade. However if the wallet files also contain seeds, those cannot be converted ("standard" vs "segwit" electrum seed).
Case 1 wallet files are not possible to "fix" automatically as the cosigner using the old_mpk is not bip32 based.
It is unclear if there are *any* users out there affected by this. I suspect for case 1 it is very likely there are none (not many people have pre-2.0 electrum seeds which were never supported as part of a multisig who would also now try to create a multisig using them); for case 2 however there might be.
This commit breaks both case 1 and case 2 wallets: these wallet files can no longer be opened in new Electrum, an error message is shown and the crash reporter opens. If any potential users opt to send crash reports, at least we will know they exist and can help them recover.

TODO: we can now retrieve the pairs from the service asynchronously, which should eliminate
the startup delay when showing the SwapDialog
The qt, qml, and kivy GUIs have a first-start network-setup screen
that allows the user customising the network settings before creating a wallet.
Previously the daemon used to create the network and start it, before this screen,
before the GUI even starts. If the user changed network settings, those would
be set on the already running network, potentially including restarting the network.
Now it becomes the responsibility of the GUI to start the network, allowing this
first-start customisation to take place before starting the network at all.
The qt and the qml GUIs are adapted to make use of this. Kivy, and the other
prototype GUIs are not adapted and just start the network right away, as before.
This reverts commit 7f7ee8d82f.
This commit caused a regression with the android back button not closing a dialog.
reproduce:
1. from the main window, press receive.
2. in the request details window, press Create request.
3. in the receive payment dialog, press Copy
4. observe dialog cannot be closed by back button
previously clicking too far left would not open the wallet-menu:
- click on label would open it, but
- click on wallet-icon or padding to its left would not
- the activity callback does not work properly on android
(does not work on my phone). Also, it duplicates the lock
screen function of most phones.
- if we do not lock inactive app, then the PIN feature does
not need a timeout, and is easier to understand without it.
- in Preferences, explain what it does
