This adds a -checkblockindex (defaulting to true for regtest), which occasionally
does a full consistency check for mapBlockIndex, setBlockIndexCandidates, chainActive, and
mapBlocksUnlinked.
Adds a regression test for the wallet's ResendWalletTransactions function, which uses a new, hidden RPC command "resendwallettransactions."
I refactored main's Broadcast signal so it is passed the best-block time, which let me remove a global variable shared between main.cpp and the wallet (nTimeBestReceived).
I also manually tested the "rebroadcast unconfirmed every half hour or so" functionality by:
1. Running bitcoind -connect=0.0.0.0:8333
2. Creating a couple of send-to-self transactions
3. Connect to a peer using -addnode
4. Waited a while, monitoring debug.log, until I see:
```2015-03-23 18:48:10 ResendWalletTransactions: rebroadcast 2 unconfirmed transactions```
One last change: don't bother putting ResendWalletTransactions messages in debug.log unless unconfirmed transactions were actually rebroadcast.
Note that this will also require translation changes in Transifex for the key
"A fee higher than %1 is considered an insanely high fee." which is now
"A fee higher than %1 is considered an absurdly high fee."

There are 3 pieces of data that are maintained on disk. The actual block
and undo data, the block index (which can refer to positions on disk),
and the chainstate (which refers to the best block hash).
Earlier, there was no guarantee that blocks were written to disk before
block index entries referring to them were written. This commit introduces
dirty flags for block index data, and delays writing entries until the actual
block data is flushed.
With this stricter ordering in writes, it is now safe to not always flush
after every block, so there is no need for the IsInitialBlockDownload()
check there - instead we just write whenever enough time has passed or
the cache size grows too large. Also updating the wallet's best known block
is delayed until this is done, otherwise the wallet may end up referring to an
unknown block.
In addition, only do a write inside the block processing loop if necessary
(because of cache size exceeded). Otherwise, move the writing to a point
after processing is done, after relaying.

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.
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.
There is no reason to store thousands of orphan transactions;
normally an orphan's parents will either be broadcast or
mined reasonably quickly.
This pull drops the maximum number of orphans from 10,000 down
to 100, and adds a command-line option (-maxorphantx) that is
just like -maxorphanblocks to override the default.
Thanks to Pieter Wuille for most of the work on this commit.
I did not fixup the overhaul commit, because a rebase conflicted
with "remove fields of ser_streamplaceholder".
I prefer not to risk making a mistake while resolving it.
The implementation of each class' serialization/deserialization is no longer
passed within a macro. The implementation now lies within a template of form:
template <typename T, typename Stream, typename Operation>
inline static size_t SerializationOp(T thisPtr, Stream& s, Operation ser_action, int nType, int nVersion) {
size_t nSerSize = 0;
/* CODE */
return nSerSize;
}
In cases when codepath should depend on whether or not we are just deserializing
(old fGetSize, fWrite, fRead flags) an additional clause can be used:
bool fRead = boost::is_same<Operation, CSerActionUnserialize>();
The IMPLEMENT_SERIALIZE macro will now be a freestanding clause added within
class' body (similiar to Qt's Q_OBJECT) to implement GetSerializeSize,
Serialize and Unserialize. These are now wrappers around
the "SerializationOp" template.
- ensures a consistent usage in header files
- also add a blank line after the copyright header where missing
- also remove orphan new-lines at the end of some files
Bypassing the main coins cache allows more thorough checking with the same
memory budget.
This has no effect on performance because everything ends up in the child
cache created by VerifyDB itself.
It has bugged me ever since #4675, which effectively reduced the
number of checked blocks to reduce peak memory usage.
- Pass the coinsview to use as argument to VerifyDB
- This also avoids that the first `pcoinsTip->Flush()` after VerifyDB
writes a large slew of unchanged coin records back to the database.

Port over https://github.com/chronokings/huntercoin/pull/19 from
Huntercoin: This implements a new RPC command "getchaintips" that can be
used to find all currently active chain heads. This is similar to the
-printblocktree startup option, but it can be used without restarting
just via the RPC interface on a running daemon.
* Replace -benchmark (and the related fBenchmark) with a regular debug option, -debug=bench.
* Increase coverage and granularity of individual block processing steps.
* Add cummulative times.
First and foremost, this defaults to OFF.
This option lets a node consider such transactions non-standard,
meaning they will not be relayed or mined by default, but other miners
are free to mine these as usual.
