Add a script to check that the (Linux) executables produced by gitian
only contain allowed gcc, glibc and libstdc++ version symbols. This
makes sure they are still compatible with the minimum supported Linux
distribution versions.

55a1db4 Solve chainActive-related locking issues (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
e07c943 Add AssertLockHeld for cs_main to ChainActive-using functions (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
- In wallet and GUI code LOCK cs_main as well as cs_wallet when
necessary
- In main.cpp SendMessages move the TRY_LOCK(cs_main) up, to encompass the call
to IsInitialBlockDownload.
- Make ActivateBestChain, AddToBlockIndex, IsInitialBlockDownload,
InitBlockIndex acquire the cs_main lock
Fixes#3997
All functions that use ChainActive but do not aquire the cs_main
lock themselves, need to be called with the cs_main lock held.
This commit adds assertions to all externally callable functions
that use chainActive or chainMostWork.
This will flag usages when built with -DDEBUG_LOCKORDER.
The patch to make it possible to configure the LXC IPs has been merged
upstream. This means that it is no longer needed to patch gitian.
Remove that workaround.
Drawback: The version string is no longer a valid git identifier.
For this reason the 'g' short hash prefix has been removed.
Exception: When building directly from a tag this behaves exactly like the previous behavior.
This allows formatting release versions with precision i.e. v0.9.2
This also allows arbitrary topicbranch names i.e. v0.9.1-glibc-compat
- prevents unsafe shutdowns on Windows, which is known to be
able to cause problems with wallet.dat
- if a users ends a Windows session, this will initiate a client shutdown
and show a Windows dialog, that tells the user what is going on (for
Windows Vista and higher it will even show a reason for blocking the
Windows session end)

@laanwj suggestion on safety
glibc/libstdc++ have added new symbols in later releases. When running a new
binary against an older glibc, the run-time linker is unable to resolve the
new symbols and the binary refuses to run.
This can be fixed by adding our own versions of those functions, so that the
build-time linker does not emit undefined symbols for them.
This enables our binary releases to work on older Linux distros, while not
incurring the downsides of a fully static binary.

When we are over our outbound limit ThreadSocketHandler would try to
keep the connection if the peer was addnoded.
This didn't actually work for two reasons: It didn't actually run
the accept code due to mistaken code flow, and because we have a
limited number of outbound semaphores it couldn't actually use the
connection.
Instead it leaked the socket, which might have caused issue #4034.
This patch just takes out the non-functioning white-listing for now.
