Remove ScriptCanonicalSignatures and use the new
ScriptVerifyDERSignatures flag. The ScriptVerifyDERSignatures
flag accomplishes the same functionality.
This commit makes use of the new ScriptDiscourageUpgradableNops flag to
reject execution of NOP1 through NOP10 for transactions that are
considered standard.
This mirrors the behavior added to Bitcoin Core via pull request 5000.
This commit implements the non-optional and template tweaking support for
the getblocktemplate RPC as defined by BIP0022. This implementation does
not yet include long polling support.
This is work towards #124.
There are certain cases such as getblocktemplate which allow external
callers to be repsonsible for creating their own coinbase to replace the
generated one. By allowing the pay address to be nil in such cases, the
need to specify mining addresses via --miningaddr can be avoided thereby
leaving the payment address management up to the caller.
This commit helps prevent transaction malleability by enforcing that the
extra dummy value on multisig transaction script contains no data for a
transaction . This syncs with a recent change in Bitcoin Core to remain
compatible.
As part of this change a new constant has been introduced which is used to
specify the script flags which are used for standard transactions. This
constant is then used in both the memory pool and the mining code to
ensure they remain in sync with one another.
Closes#131.

This change modifies the params struct to embed a *btcnet.Params,
removing the old parameter fields that are handled by the btcnet
package.
Hardcoded network checks have also been removed in favor of modifying
behavior based on the current active net's parameters.
Not all library packages, notable btcutil and btcchain, have been
updated to use btcnet yet, but with this change, each package can be
updated one at a time since the active net's btcnet.Params are
available at each callsite.

This commit adds a new function named NewBlockTemplate along with
supporting infrastructure which is part of the core functionality needed
to support mining.
In particular the function creates a new block template which contains a
fully populated block with a zero nonce that is ready to be solved as well
as additional information regarding the fees and number of signature
operations for each transaction included in the block. The specific
transaction selection logic mirrors the reference implementation.
Various cleanup, optimizations, and comment suggestions provided by
