0280fa0264 Convert block heights to int32.
This commit converts all block height references to int32 instead of
int64.  The current target block production rate is 10 mins per block
which means it will take roughly 40,800 years to reach the maximum
height an int32 affords.  Even if the target rate were lowered to one
block per minute, it would still take roughly another 4,080 years to
reach the maximum.

In the mean time, there is no reason to use a larger type which results
in higher memory and disk space usage.  However, for now, in order to
avoid having to reserialize a bunch of database information, the heights
are still serialized to the database as 8-byte uint64s.

This is being mainly being done in preparation for further upcoming
infrastructure changes which will use the smaller and more efficient
4-byte serialization in the database as well.

b69a849114 Import btcchain repo into blockchain directory.
This commit contains the entire btcchain repository along with several
changes needed to move all of the files into the blockchain directory in
order to prepare it for merging.  This does NOT update btcd or any of the
other packages to use the new location as that will be done separately.

- All import paths in the old btcchain test files have been changed to
  the new location
- All references to btcchain as the package name have been changed to
  blockchain
