This changes the logging categories to boolean flags instead of strings.
This simplifies the acceptance testing by avoiding accessing a scoped
static thread local pointer to a thread local set of strings. It
eliminates the only use of boost::thread_specific_ptr outside of
lockorder debugging.
This change allows log entries to be directed to multiple categories
and makes it easy to change the logging flags at runtime (e.g. via
an RPC, though that isn't done by this commit.)
It also eliminates the fDebug global.
Configuration of unknown logging categories now produces a warning.
The "please check your computer's data and time" message when the clock
deviates from the network currently generates an overkill of messages:
orion@lethe:~/bitcoin$ src/bitcoind
Warning: Warning: Please check that your computer's date and time are correct! If your clock is wrong Bitcoin Core will not work properly.
In the log:
2015-09-27 16:24:13 *** Warning: Please check that your computer's date and time are correct! If your clock is wrong Bitcoin Core will not work properly.
2015-09-27 16:24:13 Warning: Warning: Please check that your computer's date and time are correct! If your clock is wrong Bitcoin Core will not work properly.
Remove one level of 'Warning:' and reduce to one log message.

Closes#5325#5184#5183#5182
Split up util.cpp/h into:
- string utilities (hex, base32, base64): no internal dependencies, no dependency on boost (apart from foreach)
- money utilities (parsesmoney, formatmoney)
- time utilities (gettime*, sleep, format date):
- and the rest (logging, argument parsing, config file parsing)
The latter is basically the environment and OS handling,
and is stripped of all utility functions, so we may want to
rename it to something else than util.cpp/h for clarity (Matt suggested
osinterface).
Breaks dependency of sha256.cpp on all the things pulled in by util.
