CreateNewBlock returns a pointer for which the caller takes ownership.
Use std::unique_ptr to make this explicit and simplify handling of these
objects in getblocktemplate.
An orphan whos parents were rejected is never going to connect, so there
is little utility in keeping it.
Orphans also helpfully tell us what we're missing, so go ahead and treat
it as INVed.
This prevents higher order orphans and other junk from
holding positions in the orphan map. Parents delayed
twenty minutes are more are unlikely to ever arrive.
The freed space will improve the orphan matching success rate for
other transactions.

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.
* Use CNode::addeName to track whether a connection to a name is already open
* A new connection to a previously-connected by-name addednode is only opened when
the previous one closes (even if the name starts resolving to something else)
* At most one connection is opened per addednode (even if the name resolves to multiple)
* Unify the code between ThreadOpenAddedNodeConnections and getaddednodeinfo
* Information about open connections is always returned, and the dns argument becomes a dummy
* An IP address and inbound/outbound is only reported for the (at most 1) open connection
In the Receive 'Tab' of the QT wallet, when 'Show'ing a previously requested payment, add a label underneath the QR Code showing the bitcoin address where the funds will go to.
This way the user can be sure that the QR code scanner app the user using is reading the correct bitcoin address, preventing funds to be stolen.

always grow to its maximum size.
This does not go so far as to attempt to connect orphans made
connectable by a new block.
Keeping the orphan map less full helps improve the reliability
of relaying chains of transactions.
