ccedbaf Increase LevelDB max_open_files unless on 32-bit Unix. (Evan Klitzke)
Pull request description:
Currently we set `max_open_files = 64` on all architectures due to concerns about file descriptor exhaustion. This is extremely expensive due to how LevelDB is designed.
When a LevelDB file handle is opened, a bloom filter and block index are decoded, and some CRCs are checked. Bloom filters and block indexes in open table handles can be checked purely in memory. This means that when doing a key lookup, if a given table file may contain a given key, all of the lookup operations can happen completely in RAM until the block itself is fetched. In the common case fetching the block is one disk seek, because the block index stores its physical offset. This is the ideal case, and what we want to happen as often as possible.
If a table file handle is not open in the table cache, then in addition to the regular system calls to open the file, the block index and bloom filter need to be decoded before they can be checked. This is expensive and is something we want to avoid.
The current setting of 64 file handles means that on a synced node, only about 4% of key lookups can be satisifed by table file handles that are actually open and in memory.
The original concerns about file descriptor exhaustion are unwarranted on most systems because:
* On 64-bit POSIX hosts LevelDB will open up to 1000 file descriptors using `mmap()`, and it does not retain an open file descriptor for such files.
* On Windows non-socket files do not interfere with the main network `select()` loop, so the same fd exhaustion issues do not apply there.
This change keeps the default `max_open_files` value (which is 1000) on all systems except 32-bit POSIX hosts (which do not use `mmap()`). Open file handles use about 20 KB of memory (for the block index), so the extra file handles do not cause much memory overhead. At most 1000 will be open, and a fully synced node right now has about 1500 such files.

This change significantly increases IBD performance by increasing the
amount of the UTXO index that can remain in memory. To ensure this
doesn't cause problems in the future, a static_assert on the LevelDB
version has been added, which must be updated by anyone upgrading
LevelDB.

It's easier for maintainers if all python tools/scripts support only a single version of Python. There are only a few scripts that aren't explicitly python3 at this point, so this PR changes those remaining scripts to explicitly require python3.

f38e4fd QA: Add -blocksdir test (Jonas Schnelli)
386a6b6 Allow to optional specify the directory for the blocks storage (Jonas Schnelli)
Pull request description:
Since the actual block files taking up more and more space, it may be desirable to have them stored in a different location then the data directory (use case: SSD for chainstate, etc., HD for blocks).
This PR adds a `-blocksdir` option that allows one to keep the blockfiles and the blockindex external from the data directory (instead of creating symlinks).
I fist had an option to keep the blockindex within the datadir, but seems to make no sense since accessing the index will (always) lead to access (r/w) the block files.

d40f06a Introduce interface for signing providers (Pieter Wuille)
Pull request description:
`CKeyStore` is a rich interface that provides many features, including knowledge of scripts and pubkeys for solving, private keys for signing, in addition to watch-only keys and scripts, and distinguishing lack of keys from them just being encrypted.
The signing logic in script/sign does not actually need most of these features. Here we introduce a simpler interface (`SigningProvider`) which *only* provides keys and scripts. This is actually sufficient for signing.
In addtion, we swap the dependency between keystore and script/sign (keystore now depends on script/script with `CKeyStore` deriving from `SigningProvider`, rather than `CKeyStore` being the interface that signing relies on).
This is a very early step towards the design in https://gist.github.com/sipa/125cfa1615946d0c3f3eec2ad7f250a2, separating the concern between deciding what outputs are ours and signing.

1f45e21 scripted-diff: Convert 11 enums into scoped enums (C++11) (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
Rationale (from Bjarne Stroustrup's ["C++11 FAQ"](http://www.stroustrup.com/C++11FAQ.html#enum)):
>
> The enum classes ("new enums", "strong enums") address three problems with traditional C++ enumerations:
>
> * conventional enums implicitly convert to int, causing errors when someone does not want an enumeration to act as an integer.
> * conventional enums export their enumerators to the surrounding scope, causing name clashes.
> * the underlying type of an enum cannot be specified, causing confusion, compatibility problems, and makes forward declaration impossible.
>
> The new enums are "enum class" because they combine aspects of traditional enumerations (names values) with aspects of classes (scoped members and absence of conversions).

2fb9c1e shuffle selected coins before transaction finalization (Gregory Sanders)
Pull request description:
Currently inputs are ordered based on COutPoint ordering, which while doesn't leak additional internal wallet state, likely further fingerprints the wallet as a Core wallet to observers.
Note: This slightly changed behavior of `fundrawtransaction` in that the newly-appended inputs will now be shuffled rather than in outpoint-order. This does not break API compatibility.
Simple shuffling of the coins being returned will hopefully allow the wallet to blend in a bit more, in lieu of additional data to find what other wallets are doing, or another standard, ala @gmaxwell's suggested of ordering via scriptPubKey.

The blockmaxsize option was marked as deprecated in V0.15.1, and code

remove it in V0.17.
