6cab808272 Remove most logging from transaction validation
Remove unnecessary direct logging in CheckTransaction,
AcceptToMemoryPool, CheckTxInputs, CScriptCheck::operator()

All status information should be returned in the CValidationState.
Relevant debug information is also added to the CValidationState using
the recently introduced debug message.

Do keep the "BUG! PLEASE REPORT THIS! ConnectInputs failed against MANDATORY but not STANDARD flags"
error as it is meant to appear as bug in the log.

dc58258adf Introduce REJECT_INTERNAL codes for local AcceptToMempool errors
Add status codes specific to AcceptToMempool procession of transactions.
These can never happen due to block validation, and must never be sent
over the P2P network. Add assertions where appropriate.

Keep track of recently rejected transactions
Nodes can have divergent policies on which transactions they will accept
and relay.  This can cause you to repeatedly request and reject the same
tx after its inved to you from various peers which have accepted it.
Here we add rolling bloom filter to keep track of such rejections,
clearing the filter every time the chain tip changes.

Credit goes to Alex Morcos, who created the patch that this code is
based on.

Original code by Peter Todd. Refactored to not construct the
filter at startup time by Pieter Wuille.

d2d7ee0e86 Make CRollingBloomFilter set nTweak for you
While CBloomFilter is usually used with an explicitly set nTweak,
CRollingBloomFilter is only used internally. Requiring every caller to
set nTweak is error-prone and redundant; better to have the class handle
that for you with a high-quality randomness source.

Additionally when clearing the filter it makes sense to change nTweak as
well to recover from a bad setting, e.g. due to insufficient randomness
at initialization, so the clear() method is replaced by a reset() method
that sets a new, random, nTweak value.

c257a8c9a6 Prune: Support noncontiguous block files
In some corner cases, it may be possible for recent blocks to end up in
the same block file as much older blocks.  Previously, the pruning code
would stop looking for files to remove upon first encountering a file
containing a block that cannot be pruned, now it will keep looking for
candidate files until the target is met and all other criteria are
satisfied.

This can result in a noncontiguous set of block files (by number) on
disk, which is fine except for during some reindex corner cases, so
make reindex preparation smarter such that we keep the data we can
actually use and throw away the rest.  This allows pruning to work
correctly while downloading any blocks needed during the reindex.

Fix off-by-one error w/ nLockTime in the wallet
Previously due to an off-by-one error the wallet ignored
nLockTime-by-height transactions that would be valid in the next block
even though they are accepted into the mempool. The transactions
wouldn't show up until confirmed, nor would they be included in the
unconfirmed balance. Similar to the mempool behavior fix in 665bdd3b,
the wallet code was calling IsFinalTx() directly without taking into
account the fact that doing so tells you if the transaction could have
been mined in the *current* block, rather than the next block.

To fix this we strip IsFinalTx() of non-consensus-critical
functionality, removing the default arguments, and add CheckFinalTx() to
check if a transaction will be final in the next block.

Alert if it is very likely we are getting a bad chain
Create a monitoring task that counts how many blocks have been found in the last four hours.

If very few or too many have been found, an alert is triggered.

"Very few" and "too many" are set based on a false positive rate of once every fifty years of constant running with constant hashing power, which works out to getting 5 or fewer or 48 or more blocks in four hours (instead of the average of 24).

Only one alert per day is triggered, so if you get disconnected from the network (or are being Sybil'ed) -alertnotify will be triggered after 3.5 hours but you won't get another -alertnotify for 24 hours.

Tested with a new unit test and by running on the main network with -debug=partitioncheck

Run test/test_bitcoin --log_level=message to see the alert messages:
    WARNING: check your network connection, 3 blocks received in the last 4 hours (24 expected)
    WARNING: abnormally high number of blocks generated, 60 blocks received in the last 4 hours (24 expected)

The -debug=partitioncheck debug.log messages look like:
    ThreadPartitionCheck : Found 22 blocks in the last 4 hours
    ThreadPartitionCheck : likelihood: 0.0777702

dce8360e44 Reduce checkpoints' effect on consensus.
Instead of only checking height to decide whether to disable script checks,
actually check whether a block is an ancestor of a checkpoint, up to which
headers have been validated. This means that we don't have to prevent
accepting a side branch anymore - it will be safe, just less fast to
do.

We still need to prevent being fed a multitude of low-difficulty headers
filling up our memory. The mechanism for that is unchanged for now: once
a checkpoint is reached with headers, no headers chain branching off before
that point are allowed anymore.

b649e03954 Create new BlockPolicyEstimator for fee estimates
This class groups transactions that have been confirmed in blocks into buckets, based on either their fee or their priority.  Then for each bucket, the class calculates what percentage of the transactions were confirmed within various numbers of blocks.  It does this by keeping an exponentially decaying moving history for each bucket and confirm block count of the percentage of transactions in that bucket that were confirmed within that number of blocks.

-Eliminate txs which didn't have all inputs available at entry from fee/pri calcs

-Add dynamic breakpoints and tracking of confirmation delays in mempool transactions

-Remove old CMinerPolicyEstimator and CBlockAverage code

-New smartfees.py

-Pass a flag to the estimation code, using IsInitialBlockDownload as a proxy for when we are still catching up and we shouldn't be counting how many blocks it takes for transactions to be included.

-Add a policyestimator unit test

a8cdaf5c96 checkpoints: move the checkpoints enable boolean into main
This pertains to app-state, so it doesn't make sense to handle inside the
checkpoint functions.

d81cff32e5 Replace mruset setAddrKnown with CRollingBloomFilter addrKnown
Use a probabilistic bloom filter to keep track of which addresses
we think we have given our peers, instead of a list.

This uses much less memory, at the cost of sometimes failing to
relay an address to a peer-- worst case if the bloom filter happens
to be as full as it gets, 1-in-1,000.

Measured memory usage of a full mruset setAddrKnown: 650Kbytes
Constant memory usage of CRollingBloomFilter addrKnown: 37Kbytes.

This will also help heap fragmentation, because the 37K of storage
is allocated when a CNode is created (when a connection to a peer
is established) and then there is no per-item-remembered memory
allocation.

I plan on testing by restarting a full node with an empty peers.dat,
running a while with -debug=addrman and -debug=net, and making sure
that the 'addr' message traffic out is reasonable.
(suggestions for better tests welcome)

f9ec3f0fad Add block pruning functionality
This adds a -prune=N option to bitcoind, which if set to N>0 will enable block
file pruning. When pruning is enabled, block and undo files will be deleted to
try to keep total space used by those files to below the prune target (N, in
MB) specified by the user, subject to some constraints:

- The last 288 blocks on the main chain are always kept (MIN_BLOCKS_TO_KEEP),
- N must be at least 550MB (chosen as a value for the target that could
  reasonably be met, with some assumptions about block sizes, orphan rates,
  etc; see comment in main.h),
- No blocks are pruned until chainActive is at least 100,000 blocks long (on
  mainnet; defined separately for mainnet, testnet, and regtest in chainparams
  as nPruneAfterHeight).

This unsets NODE_NETWORK if pruning is enabled.

Also included is an RPC test for pruning (pruning.py).

Thanks to @rdponticelli for earlier work on this feature; this is based in
part off that work.

8ba7f842e5 Reduce download timeouts as blocks arrive
Compare the block download timeout to what the timeout would be if calculated
based on current time and current value of nQueuedValidatedHeaders, but
ignoring other in-flight blocks from the same peer. If the calculation based on
present conditions is shorter, then set that to be the time after which we
disconnect the peer for not delivering this block.

0421c18f3a Fix CheckBlockIndex for reindex.
Some tests in CheckBlockIndex require chainActive.Tip(), but when reindexing, chainActive has not been set on the first call to CheckBlockIndex.

reindex.py starts a node, mines 3 blocks, stops, and reindexes with CheckBlockIndex enabled.
