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.

92fd887fd4 tests: add a BasicTestingSetup and apply to all tests
Make sure that chainparams and logging is properly initialized. Doing
this for every test may be overkill, but this initialization is so
simple that that does not matter.

This should fix the travis issues.

34cdc41128 String conversions uint256 -> uint256S
If uint256() constructor takes a string, uint256(0) will become
dangerous when uint256 does not take integers anymore (it will go
through std::string(const char*) making a NULL string, and the explicit
keyword is no help).
