Support is added to serialize arrays of type char or unsigned char directly,
without any wrappers. All invocations of the FLATDATA wrappers that are
obsoleted by this are removed.
This includes a patch by Russell Yanofsky to make char casting type safe.
The serialization of CSubNet is changed to serialize a bool directly rather
than though FLATDATA. This makes the serialization independent of the size
of the bool type (and will use 1 byte everywhere).
CVectorWriter is useful for overwriting or appending an existing byte vector.
CNetMsgMaker is a shortcut for creating messages on-the-fly which are suitable
for pushing to CConnman.
Adds an `obfuscate` parameter to `CLevelDBWrapper` and makes use of it
for all new chainstate stores built via `CCoinsViewDB`. Also adds an
`Xor` method to `CDataStream`.
