Nodes can have divergent policies on which transactions they will accept
and relay. This can cause you to repeatedly request and reject the same
tx after its inved to you from various peers which have accepted it.
Here we add rolling bloom filter to keep track of such rejections,
clearing the filter every time the chain tip changes.
Credit goes to Alex Morcos, who created the patch that this code is
based on.
Original code by Peter Todd. Refactored to not construct the
filter at startup time by Pieter Wuille.
While CBloomFilter is usually used with an explicitly set nTweak,
CRollingBloomFilter is only used internally. Requiring every caller to
set nTweak is error-prone and redundant; better to have the class handle
that for you with a high-quality randomness source.
Additionally when clearing the filter it makes sense to change nTweak as
well to recover from a bad setting, e.g. due to insufficient randomness
at initialization, so the clear() method is replaced by a reset() method
that sets a new, random, nTweak value.
As suggested by Greg Maxwell-- unit test to make sure a block
with a double-spend in it doesn't pass validation if half of
the double-spend is already in the memory pool (so full-blown
transaction validation is skipped) when the block is received.
`bitcoind -X -noX` ends up, unintuitively, with `X` set.
(for all boolean options X)
This result is due to the odd two-pass processing of arguments. This
patch fixes this oddity and simplifies the code at the same time.

Accept strings containing decimal values, in addition to bare values.
Useful from JSON-RPC implementations where it's not possible to have
direct control over the text of numbers (e.g. where numbers are always
doubles), and it's still desired to send an exact value.
This would allow users to post JSON content with numbers encoded like
`{"value": "0.00000001"}` instead of `{"value": 0.00000001}` which some
php/python encoders wrap into 1e-8, or worse.

Handle the case where no chain tip is available, in InvalidChainFound(). This fixes a null pointer deference when running unit tests, if the genesis block or block validation code is broken.
This indicates that, eg, we have a public key for a key which may
be used as a pay-to-pubkey-hash. It generally means that we can
create a valid scriptSig except for missing private key(s) with
which to create signatures.
