Pull request description:
This PR increments the field number of the `Init.makeMining` method and makes the old `makeMining` method return an error, so IPC mining clients not using the latest schema file will get an error and not be able to access the Mining interface.
Normally, there shouldn't be a need to break compatibility this way, but the mining interface has evolved a lot since it was first introduced, with old clients using the original methods less stable and performant than newer clients. So now is a good time to introduce a cutoff, drop deprecated methods, and stop supporting old clients which can't function as well.
Bumping the field number is also an opportunity to make other improvements that would be awkward to implement compatibly:
- Making Cap'n Proto default parameter and field values match default values of corresponding C++ methods and structs.
- Adding missing Context parameters to Mining.createNewBlock and checkBlock methods so these methods will be executed on separate execution threads and not block the Cap'n Proto event loop thread.
More details about these changes are in the commit messages.
