Many changes:
* Do not use 'getblocks', but 'getheaders', and use it to build a headers tree.
* Blocks are fetched in parallel from all available outbound peers, using a
limited moving window. When one peer stalls the movement of the window, it is
disconnected.
* No more orphan blocks. At all. We only ever request a block for which we have
verified the headers, and store it to disk immediately. This means that a
disk-fill attack would require PoW.
* Require protocol version 31800 for every peer (released in december 2010).
* No more syncnode (we sync from everyone we can, though limited to 1 during
initial *headers* sync).
* Introduce some extra named constants, comments and asserts.
6fd546d Remove CChainParams::NetworkID() (jtimon)

6de50c3 qt: add network-specific style object (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Mainly cleanups: Gets rid of isTestNet everywhere, by keeping track
of network-specific theming in a central place.
Also makes GUI no longer dependent on the network ID enumeration, which
alleviates concerns about #4802.
This adds a -regetest-only undocumented (for regression testing only)
command-line option -blockversion=N to set block.nVersion.
Adds to the "has the rest of the network upgraded to a
block.nVersion we don't understand" code so it calls
-alertnotify when 51 of the last 100 blocks are up-version.
But it only alerts once, not with every subsequent new, upversion
block.
And adds a forknotify.py regression test to make sure it works.
Tested using forknotify.py:
Before adding CAlert::Notify, get:
Assertion failed: -alertnotify did not warn of up-version blocks
Before adding code to only alert once:
Assertion failed: -alertnotify excessive warning of up-version blocks
After final code in this pull:

* Delete canonical_tests.cpp, and move the tests to script_tests.cpp.
* Split off SCRIPT_VERIFY_DERSIG from SCRIPT_VERIFY_STRICTENC (the BIP62 part of it).
* Change signature STRICTENC/DERSIG semantics to fail the script entirely rather than the CHECKSIG result (softfork safety, and BIP62 requirement).
* Add many autogenerated tests for several odd cases.
* Mention specific BIP62 rules in the script verification flags.

There is only one message passed to AbortNode() that makes sense to
translate to the user specifically: Disk space is low. For the others
show a generic message and refer to debug.log for details.
Reduces the number of confusing jargon translation messages.
fbd36d8 Avoid introducing a virtual into CChainParams (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
f0fd00c Switch testing framework from MAIN to new UNITTEST network (SergioDemianLerner)
- it now takes over the passed file descriptor and closes it in the
destructor
- this fixes a leak in LoadExternalBlockFile(), where an exception could
cause the file to not getting closed
- disallow copies (like recently added for CAutoFile)
- make nType and nVersion private

- add missing deletes for pwalletdbEncryption
- add an assert before trying to reserve memory for pwalletdbEncryption
- add a destructor to CWallet, which ensures deletion of
pwalletdbEncryption on object destruction
Windows needed a few fixups to get the tests running:
1. bitcoin-tx needs a file extension in Windows. Take this opportunity to
add an env file, which pulls variables out of our build config. This can
be extended as needed, for now it's very simple.
2. After #1, split the args out of the exec key in the test data.
3. Correct the line-endings from windows stdout

One might assume that CAutoFile would be ref-counted so that a copied object
would delay closing the underlying file until all copies have gone out of
scope. Since that's not the case with CAutoFile, explicitly disable copying.
