This adds a new module that defines TxRequestTracker, a data
structure that maintains all information about transaction
requests, and coordinates requests.

Conflicts:
- replaced GenTx with uint256 because no segwit
- used int64_t instead of std::chrono::microseconds per utiltime
- removed wtxid tests
These are available in sandboxes without access to files or
devices. Also [they are safer and more straightforward](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy-supplying_system_calls)
to use than `/dev/urandom` as reading from a file has quite a few edge
cases:
- Linux: `getrandom(buf, buflen, 0)`. [getrandom(2)](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/getrandom.2.html)
was introduced in version 3.17 of the Linux kernel.
- OpenBSD: `getentropy(buf, buflen)`. The [getentropy(2)](http://man.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-current/man2/getentropy.2)
function appeared in OpenBSD 5.6.
- FreeBSD and NetBSD: `sysctl(KERN_ARND)`. Not sure when this was added
but it has existed for quite a while.
Alternatives:
- Linux has sysctl `CTL_KERN` / `KERN_RANDOM` / `RANDOM_UUID`
which gives 16 bytes of randomness. This may be available
on older kernels, however [sysctl is deprecated on Linux](https://lwn.net/Articles/605392/)
and even removed in some distros so we shouldn't use it.
Add tests for `GetOSRand()`:
- Test that no error happens (otherwise `RandFailure()` which aborts)
- Test that all 32 bytes are overwritten (initialize with zeros, try multiple times)
Discussion:
- When to use these? Currently they are always used when available.
Another option would be to use them only when `/dev/urandom` is not
available. But this would mean these code paths receive less testing,
and I'm not sure there is any reason to prefer `/dev/urandom`.

Contains squashed commit of aa09ccbb74ea9febd83ce3362238ac5339069909 squashme: comment that NUM_OS_RANDOM_BYTES should not be changed lightly
While looking at the network code, we realized this code is unused and
largely unmaintained. Given issue #2231, and its removal in 1.21, it's
time to remove it now.
This has the nice benefit of removing a single point of failure/control
(because it depends on a keypair to send alerts).
This code restores the pre-alert behavior before the merge of PR #1470.
Changes are as below:
Wrap CBlockHeader::nVersion into a new class (CBlockVersion). This allows to take care of interpreting the field into a base version, auxpow flag and the chain ID.
Update getauxblock.py for new 'generate' RPC call.
Add 'auxpow' to block JSON.
Accept auxpow as PoW verification.
Add unit tests for auxpow verification.
Add check for memory-layout of CBlockVersion.
Weaken auxpow chain ID checks for the testnet.
Allow Params() to overrule when to check the auxpow chain ID and for legacy blocks. Use this to disable the checks on testnet.
Introduce CPureBlockHeader.
Split the block header part that is used by auxpow and the "real" block header (that uses auxpow) to resolve the cyclic dependency between the two.
Differentiate between uint256 and arith_uint256.
This change was done upstream, modify the auxpow code.
Add missing lock in auxpow_tests.
Fix REST header check for auxpow headers.
Those can be longer, thus take that into account. Also perform the check actually on an auxpow header.
Correctly set the coinbase for getauxblock results.
Call IncrementExtraNonce in getauxblock so that the coinbase is actually initialised with the stuff it should be. (BIP30 block height and COINBASE_FLAGS.)
Implement getauxblock plus regression test.
Turn auxpow test into FIXTURE test.
This allows using of the Params() calls.
Move CMerkleTx code to auxpow.cpp.
Otherwise we get linker errors when building without wallet.
Fix rebase with BIP66.
Update the code to handle BIP66's nVersion=3.
Enforce that auxpow parent blocks have no auxpow block version.
This is for compatibility with namecoind. See also https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin/pull/199.
Move auxpow-related parameters to Consensus::Params.
05a55a6 Added EVENT_CFLAGS to test makefile to explicitly include libevent headers. (Karl-Johan Alm)
280a559 Added some simple tests for the RAII-style events. (Karl-Johan Alm)
7f7f102 Switched bitcoin-cli.cpp to use RAII unique pointers with deleters. (Karl-Johan Alm)
e5534d2 Added std::unique_ptr<> wrappers with deleters for libevent modules. (Karl-Johan Alm)
Defers to pre-defined version if found (e.g. protobuf). For protobuf case, the definitions are identical and thus include order should not affect results.
67dac4e Add unit tests for the CuckooCache (Jeremy Rubin)
c9e69fb Add CuckooCache implementation and replace the sigcache map_type with it (Jeremy Rubin)
GetTotalBlocksEstimate is no longer used and it was the only thing
the checkpoint tests were testing.
Since checkpoints are on their way out it makes more sense to remove
the test file than to cook up a new pointless test.

The partition checker was producing huge number of false-positives
and was disabled in 0.12.1 on the understanding it would either be
fixed in 0.13 or removed entirely from master if not.
This was caused by an pyc files hanging around from previous
python2 invocations, when the matching .py missing from that path.
This should not be a problem with python3's tagged caches.
1475ecf Fix de-serialization bug where AddrMan is corrupted after exception * CAddrDB modified so that when de-serialization code throws an exception Addrman is reset to a clean state * CAddrDB modified to make unit tests possible * Regression test created to ensure bug is fixed * StartNode modifed to clear adrman if CAddrDB::Read returns an error code. (EthanHeilman)
Verify that results correct (match known values), consistent (encrypt->decrypt
matches the original), and compatible with the previous openssl implementation.
Also check that failed encrypts/decrypts fail the exact same way as openssl.

Ubuntu 16.04 "xenial xerus" does not come with Python 2.x by default.
It is possible to install a python-2.7 package, but this has its own
problem: no `python` or `python2` symlink (see #7717).
This fixes the following scripts to work with python 3:
- `make check` (bctest,py, bitcoin-util-test.py)
- `make translate` (extract_strings_qt.py)
- `make symbols-check` (symbol-check.py)
- `make security-check` (security-check.py)
Explicitly call the python commands using $(PYTHON) instead
of relying on the interpreter line at the top of the scripts.
