This fixes the regtest and testnet parameters which are are necessary to create a testing environment for lbrycrd.

This also adds in a checkpoint on the mainnet at block 4000. Although checkpoints in bitcoin is used as a DOS prevention method, for our purpose it will effectively prevent malicious forks before that block since that is fairly easy to do with the current hash rate.

Parameters for BIP34 soft fork activation was changed from what it was in Bitcoin.

Some unit tests were also broken , and this has been fixed as well.
