Also renames whitelistalwaysrelay.
Nodes relay all transactions from whitelisted peers, this
gets in the way of some useful reasons for whitelisting
peers-- for example, bypassing bandwidth limitations.
The purpose of this forced relaying is for specialized gateway
applications where a node is being used as a P2P connection
filter and multiplexer, but where you don't want it getting
in the way of (re-)broadcast.
This change makes it configurable with whitelistforcerelay.
"permit" is currently used to configure transaction filtering, whereas replacement is more to do with the memory pool state than the transaction itself.
Add a configuration option `-permitrbf` to set transaction replacement policy
for the mempool.
Enabling it will enable (opt-in) RBF, disabling it will refuse all
conflicting transactions.
After discussion in #7164 I think this is better.
Max tip age was introduced in #5987 to make it possible to run
testnet-in-a-box. But associating this behavior with the testnet chain
is wrong conceptually, as it is not needed in normal usage.
Should aim to make testnet test the software as-is.
Replace it with a (debug) option `-maxtipage`, which can be
specified only in the specific case.

1) Chainparams: Explicit CChainParams arg for main:
-AcceptBlock
-AcceptBlockHeader
-ActivateBestChain
-ConnectTip
-InitBlockIndex
-LoadExternalBlockFile
-VerifyDB parametric constructor
2) Also pickup more Params()\. in main.cpp
3) Pass nPruneAfterHeight explicitly to new FindFilesToPrune() in main.cpp
This continues/fixes #6719.
`event_base_loopbreak` was not doing what I expected it to, at least in
libevent 2.0.21.
What I expected was that it sets a timeout, given that no other pending
events it would exit in N seconds. However, what it does was delay the
event loop exit with 10 seconds, even if nothing is pending.
Solve it in a different way: give the event loop thread time to exit
out of itself, and if it doesn't, send loopbreak.
This speeds up the RPC tests a lot, each exit incurred a 10 second
overhead, with this change there should be no shutdown overhead in the
common case and up to two seconds if the event loop is blocking.
As a bonus this breaks dependency on boost::thread_group, as the HTTP
server minds its own offspring.

Starting with Tor version 0.2.7.1 it is possible, through Tor's control socket
API, to create and destroy 'ephemeral' hidden services programmatically.
https://stem.torproject.org/api/control.html#stem.control.Controller.create_ephemeral_hidden_service
This means that if Tor is running (and proper authorization is available),
bitcoin automatically creates a hidden service to listen on, without user
manual configuration. This will positively affect the number of available
.onion nodes.
- When the node is started, connect to Tor through control socket
- Send `ADD_ONION` command
- First time:
- Make it create a hidden service key
- Save the key in the data directory for later usage
- Make it redirect port 8333 to the local port 8333 (or whatever port we're listening on).
- Keep control socket connection open for as long node is running. The hidden service will
(by default) automatically go away when the connection is closed.

Moves the call Initialize() from init.cpp to CreateWithArguments() and handles the
return value. Moves the call Shutdown() from init.cpp to destructor.
Changes Initialize() and Shutdown() to protected members.
* -maxuploadtarget can be set in MiB
* if <limit> - ( time-left-in-24h-cycle / 600 * MAX_BLOCK_SIZE ) has reach, stop serve blocks older than one week and filtered blocks
* no action if limit has reached, no guarantee that the target will not be surpassed
* add outbound limit informations to rpc getnettotals
After each transaction which is added to mempool, we first call
Expire() to remove old transactions, then throwing away the
lowest-feerate transactions.
After throwing away transactions by feerate, we set the minimum
relay fee to the maximum fee transaction-and-dependant-set we
removed, plus the default minimum relay fee.
After the next block is received, the minimum relay fee is allowed
to decrease exponentially. Its halflife defaults to 12 hours, but
is decreased to 6 hours if the mempool is smaller than half its
maximum size, and 3 hours if the mempool is smaller than a quarter
its maximum size.
The minimum -maxmempool size is 40*-limitdescendantsize, as it is
easy for an attacker to play games with the cheapest
-limitdescendantsize transactions. -maxmempool defaults to 300MB.
This disables high-priority transaction relay when the min relay
fee adjustment is >0 (ie when the mempool is full). When the relay
fee adjustment drops below the default minimum relay fee / 2 it is
set to 0 (re-enabling priority-based free relay).
