b171c69c60 [doc] Update OS X build notes for new qt5 configure
You no longer need to explicitly pass qt5 to configure, as it will now choose qt5 over qt4 if both are installed.

7085728786 doc: there is no libboost-base-dev, add missing sudo
- There is no libboost-base-dev, no idea how I ended up with this
    - Without that, installing separate boost packages works fine on both
      Ubuntu 14.04 and Debian 7 (tested on VMs), this did not use to be
      the case, AFAIK.
- Add a missing 'sudo' for consistency
- Need `bsdmainutils` for `hexdump` (for the tests)

391dff16fe Do not store Merkle branches in the wallet.
Assume that when a wallet transaction has a valid block hash and transaction position
in it, the transaction is actually there. We're already trusting wallet data in a
much more fundamental way anyway.

To prevent backward compatibility issues, a new record is used for storing the
block locator in the wallet. Old wallets will see a wallet file synchronized up
to the genesis block, and rescan automatically.

Clarifying offline build process using gbuild --url and noting it is not
done automatically.

At some point along the line, fully offline builds were no longer happening
when strictly following the release-process.md instructions.

We should ensure that users who might want to torify or build offline need
to take extra steps to remain offline.

Also, corrections to build process: including gverify examples for new builders.

regard to error codes can be added later.

9fbca205d4 doc: Remove recommendation to add old repos for libd4.8*
It is unreasonable to ask to change the global package configuration
just to build a package. Not only that, this is potentially harmful to the system.

Also do a few punctuation fixes in REST-interface.md.

6e849b8309 Ideal release process for Windows detached signing
This is an ideal version of what the release process should look like,
making it more consistent with the OS X process. Some of the changes
described here would need to be made in the descriptors, which is somewhat
beyond what I would feel comfortable doing, not really understanding the signature process in depth.

d08cfc2bd7 gitian: add a gitian-win-signer descriptor
This is exactly like the current OSX signing process.

osslsigncode has been patched to detach and re-attach Windows signatures.
The changes can be seen here: https://github.com/theuni/osslsigncode/commits/attach-signature

There's a pull-request open upstream for the changes:
https://sourceforge.net/p/osslsigncode/osslsigncode/merge-requests/3/

This work has been back-ported to the stable 1.7.1 release of osslsigncode, so
that a smaller patch can be reviewed.

c110575a92 gitian: Use the new bitcoin-detached-sigs git repo for OSX signatures
Rather than fetching a signature.tar.gz from somewhere on the net, instruct
Gitian to use a signature from a tag in the bitcoin-detached-sigs repository
which corresponds to the tag of the release being built.

This changes detached-sig-apply.sh to take a dirname rather than a tarball as
an argument, though detached-sig-create.sh still outputs a tarball for
convenience.

af82884ab7 Add "warmup mode" for RPC server.
Start the RPC server before doing all the (expensive) startup
initialisations like loading the block index.  Until the node is ready,
return all calls immediately with a new error signalling "in warmup"
with an appropriate status message (similar to the init message).

This is useful for RPC clients to know that the server is there (e. g.,
they don't have to start it) but not yet available.  It is used in
Namecoin and Huntercoin already for some time, and there exists a UI
hooked onto the RPC interface that actively uses this to its advantage.

Use fee/priority estimates in wallet CreateTransaction
The wallet now uses the mempool fee estimator with a new
command-line option: -txconfirmtarget (default: 1) instead
of using hard-coded fees or priorities.

A new bitcoind that hasn't seen enough transactions to estimate
will fall back to the old hard-coded minimum priority or
transaction fee.

-paytxfee option overrides -txconfirmtarget.

Relaying and mining code isn't changed.

For Qt, the coin control dialog now uses priority estimates to
label transaction priority (instead of hard-coded constants);
unspent outputs were consistently labeled with a much higher
priority than is justified by the free transactions actually
being accepted into blocks.

I did not implement any GUI for setting -txconfirmtarget; I would
suggest getting rid of the "Pay transaction fee" GUI and replace
it with either "target number of confirmations" or maybe
a "faster confirmation <--> lower fee" slider or select box.
