This resolves#12229 which pointed out a shutdown deadlock due to
scheduler/checkqueue having been shut down while network message
processing is still running.
This makes all include paths in the GUI absolute.
Many changes are involved as every single source file in
src/qt/ assumes to be able to use relative includes.

Alternative to #10818, alternative solution to #10815.
After this change: All the AppInit steps before and inclusive
AppInitLockDataDirectory must not have Shutdown() called in case of
failure. Only when AppInitMain fails, Shutdown should be called.
Changes the GUI and bitcoind code to consistently do this.
This changes the logging categories to boolean flags instead of strings.
This simplifies the acceptance testing by avoiding accessing a scoped
static thread local pointer to a thread local set of strings. It
eliminates the only use of boost::thread_specific_ptr outside of
lockorder debugging.
This change allows log entries to be directed to multiple categories
and makes it easy to change the logging flags at runtime (e.g. via
an RPC, though that isn't done by this commit.)
It also eliminates the fDebug global.
Configuration of unknown logging categories now produces a warning.
- Change initializeResult(int) to initializeResult(bool) to avoid
implicit type conversion.
- Use EXIT_FAILURE and EXIT_SUCCESS instead of magic numbers.
- Remove the argument from shutdownResult(int); it was called with a
constant argument.

Make splash screen queue its own deletion when it receives the finished
command, instead of relying on WA_DeleteOnClose which doesn't work under
these circumstances.
Make ownership of the QThread object clear, so that the RPCConsole
can wait for the executor thread to quit before shutdown is called. This
increases overall thread safety, and prevents some objects from leaking
on exit.
- `--help`, `--version` etc should exit with `0` i.e. no error ("not enough args" case should still trigger an error)
- error reading config file should exit with `1`
Slightly refactor AppInitRPC/AppInitRawTx to return standard exit codes (EXIT_FAILURE/EXIT_SUCCESS) or CONTINUE_EXECUTION (-1)
The `pickDataDirectory()` function was calling `exit(0)` to quit
the application when the user closes the dialog without choosing
a data directory.
This is a bad idea because a background thread is created (to
check free space on the drive of the currently selected datadir).
The thread is not stopped and unwound properly, resulting in a potential
race condition somewhere deep in Qt.
So replace the `exit()` by a boolean return value, and let the
stack unwind normally.
- *Replace usage of boost::asio with [libevent2](http://libevent.org/)*.
boost::asio is not part of C++11, so unlike other boost there is no
forwards-compatibility reason to stick with it. Together with #4738 (convert
json_spirit to UniValue), this rids Bitcoin Core of the worst offenders with
regard to compile-time slowness.
- *Replace spit-and-duct-tape http server with evhttp*. Front-end http handling
is handled by libevent, a work queue (with configurable depth and parallelism)
is used to handle application requests.
- *Wrap HTTP request in C++ class*; this makes the application code mostly
HTTP-server-neutral
- *Refactor RPC to move all http-specific code to a separate file*.
Theoreticaly this can allow building without HTTP server but with another RPC
backend, e.g. Qt's debug console (currently not implemented) or future RPC
mechanisms people may want to use.
- *HTTP dispatch mechanism*; services (e.g., RPC, REST) register which URL
paths they want to handle.
By using a proven, high-performance asynchronous networking library (also used
by Tor) and HTTP server, problems such as #5674, #5655, #344 should be avoided.
What works? bitcoind, bitcoin-cli, bitcoin-qt. Unit tests and RPC/REST tests
pass. The aim for now is everything but SSL support.
Configuration options:
- `-rpcthreads`: repurposed as "number of work handler threads". Still
defaults to 4.
- `-rpcworkqueue`: maximum depth of work queue. When this is reached, new
requests will return a 500 Internal Error.
- `-rpctimeout`: inactivity time, in seconds, after which to disconnect a
client.
- `-debug=http`: low-level http activity logging
