Corrupt wallets used to cause a DB_RUNRECOVERY uncaught exception and a
crash. This commit does three things:
1) Runs a BDB verify early in the startup process, and if there is a
low-level problem with the database:
+ Moves the bad wallet.dat to wallet.timestamp.bak
+ Runs a 'salvage' operation to get key/value pairs, and
writes them to a new wallet.dat
+ Continues with startup.
2) Much more tolerant of serialization errors. All errors in deserialization
are reported by tolerated EXCEPT for errors related to reading keypairs
or master key records-- those are reported and then shut down, so the user
can get help (or recover from a backup).
3) Adds a new -salvagewallet option, which:
+ Moves the wallet.dat to wallet.timestamp.bak
+ extracts ONLY keypairs and master keys into a new wallet.dat
+ soft-sets -rescan, to recreate transaction history
This was tested by randomly corrupting testnet wallets using a little
python script I wrote (https://gist.github.com/3812689)
Before, opening a -datadir that was created with a new
version of Berkeley DB would result in an un-caught DB_RUNRECOVERY
exception.
After these changes, the error is caught and the user is told
that there is a problem and is told how to try to recover from
it.

This allows fun stuff such as `bitcoin --help | less`, and more
easy piping to files.
Looking at other tools such as bash, gcc, they all send their help
text to stdout.
- this enables DEP on all Windows version which support the
SetProcessDEPPolicy() call in Kernel32.dll
- use a dynamic approach via GetProcAddress() to not rely on headers or
compiler libs
- this is the same way the Tor-project does it
- ensure warnings always start with "Warning:" and that the first
character after ":" is written uppercase
- ensure the first sentence in warnings ends with an "!"
- remove unneeded spaces from Warning-strings
- add missing Warning-string translation
- remove a "\n" and replace with untranslatable "<br><br>"
- place "-?" option at first
- re-work description and "\n" usage for Gavins new block creation options
to better match current description syntax
- ensure no "\n" is in translated strings, which is better for Transifex
Modify CreateNewBlock so that instead of processing all transactions
in priority order, process the first 27K of transactions in
priority order and then process the rest in fee-per-kilobyte
order.
This is the first, minimal step towards better a better fee-handling
system for both miners and end-users; this patch should be easy
to backport to the old versions of Bitcoin, and accomplishes the
most important goal-- allow users to "buy their way in" to blocks
using transaction fees.
NOTE: These thread names are visible in gdb when using 'info threads'.
Additionally both 'top' and 'ps' show these names *unless* told to
display the command-line instead of task name.

Useful for developers who need to refer to futher back in debug.log history, but who don't want to
enable the -debug option and all the verbosity that comes with that.
