waitfornewblock waits until a new block is received, or the timeout expires, then
returns the current block height/hash.
waitforblock waits for a specific blockhash, or until the timeout expires, then
returns the current block height/hash. If the target blockhash is the current
tip, it will return immediately.
waitforblockheight waits until the tip has reached a certain height or higher,
then returns the current height and hash.
waitforblockheight is used to avoid polling in the rpc tests.

Add a setting ensure_ascii to AuthServiceProxy. This setting,
defaulting to True (backwards compatible),
is passed through to json.dumps. If set to False, non-ASCII characters
>0x80 are not escaped. This is useful for testing server
input processing, as well as slightly more bandwidth friendly in case of
heavy unicode usage.
Previously these functions would infinitely loop if sync failed;
now they have a default timeout of 60 seconds, after which an
AssertionError is raised.
sync_blocks() has also been improved and now compares the tip
hash of each node, rather than just using block count.
We can't change "softforks", but it seems far more logical to use tags
in an object rather than using an "id" field in an array.
For example, to get the csv status before, you need to iterate the
array to find the entry with 'id' field equal to "csv":
jq '.bip9_softforks | map(select(.id == "csv"))[] | .status'
Now:
jq '.bip9_softforks.csv.status'
There is no issue with fork names being incompatible with JSON tags,
since we're selecting them ourselves.
