fix: call management canister Bitcoin query API without replica-signed query

dfx canister call --query defaults to use "Replica-signed query" feature.

It doesn't work with bitcoin query calls to the management canister because the Boundary Nodes cannot route the read_state call.

Only for these particular queries, dfx will make the query calls without checking the replica signatures.

If the response reliability is a concern, you can make update calls to the secure alternatives.

feat(beta): enable cycles ledger support

If the environment variable DFX_CYCLES_LEDGER_SUPPORT_ENABLE is set and no cycles wallet is configured, then dfx will try to use the cycles ledger to perform any operation that the cycles wallet usually is used for.

The following commands/options have been unhidden:

• dfx cycles
• --from-subaccount for dfx deploy, dfx canister create, dfx canister deposit-cycles to determine which cycles ledger subaccount the used cycles should be used from
• --created-at-time for dfx deploy, dfx create canister, dfx canister deposit-cycles to control transaction deduplication on the cycles ledger
• --to-subaccount for dfx canister delete to control into which subaccount cycles are withdrawn before the canister is deleted

The cycles ledger will not be supported by default until the cycles ledger canister is under NNS control.

feat: dfx canister call ... --output json

This is the same as dfx canister call ... | idl2json, for convenience.

fix: Output of dfx ping is now valid JSON

Added commas in between fields, and newlines to improve formatting.

fix: canister status output to be grep compatible

dfx canister status now outputs to stdout, rather than stderr, so that its output is grep compatible.

fix: fetching canister logs to be grep & tail compatible

dfx canister logs now outputs to stdout, rather than stderr, so that its output is grep and tail compatible.

fix: fetching canister logs

The management canister method fetch_canister_logs can be called only as a query, not as an update call. Therefore, dfx canister logs <canister_id> now uses a query call for this purpose.

dfx wallet set-name now actually sets the name of the wallet

feat: hyphenated project names

DFX no longer forbids hyphens in project names. Anywhere they appear as the name of a variable, e.g. environment variables or generated JS variables, they will be replaced with underscores.

fix: .ic-assets.json configuration entries no longer overwrite the default for allow_raw_access

Previously, any configuration element in .ic-assets.json functioned as if a setting of
"allow_raw_access": true were present in the json object.

For example, given the following configuration, all files would be configured
with allow_raw_access set to true, as if the second entry specified
"allow_raw_access": true (which is the default), even though it does not.

[
  {
    "match": "**/*",
    "allow_raw_access": false
  },
  {
    "match": "**/*",
    "headers": {
      "X-Anything": "Something"
    }
  }
]

Now, given the same configuration, all files would be configured with allow_raw_access set to false, as expected.

Note that the default value of allow_raw_access is still true.

fix: removed version switching logic

Removed the logic for calling a different version of dfx based on DFX_VERSION or the dfx field in
dfx.json. This is now performed by dfxvm.

feat: --always-assist flag for dfx canister call/install/sign and dfx deploy

When all the arguments are optional, dfx automatically provides a null value when no arguments are provided.
--always-assist flag enables the candid assist feature for optional arguments, instead of providing a default null value.

fix(deps): the second pull forget to set wasm_hash_download in pulled.json

When the dependency has been in the cache, dfx deps pull forgot to set correct wasm_hash_download in pulled.json.

It caused the following init/deploy commands to fail.
