Prevent arbitrary files from being overwritten. There have been reports
that users have overwritten wallet files this way. It may also avoid
other security issues.
Fixes#9934. Adds mention to release notes and adds a test.
This reduces the overhead in the git repo due to binary blobs of
the png files.
Also, the documentation can be updated independent of any tags and
release cycles.
Writes the GUI settings to `guisettings.bak` in the data directory
before wiping them. This can be used to retroactively troubleshoot
issues (e.g. #11262) where `-resetguisettings` solves the problem.
python3 is required for running the unit tests on macOS, Ubuntu and Fedora.
Without python3 installed, 'make check' fails because /test/util/bitcoin-util-test.py fails to find python3.
Now that 0.15 branch has been split off, master is 0.15.99 (pre-0.16).
Also clean out release notes.

This makes the following changes:
* In undo data and the chainstate database, the transaction nVersion
field is removed from the data structures, always written as 0, and
ignored when reading.
* The definition of hash_serialized in gettxoutsetinfo is changed to no
longer incude the nVersion field. It is renamed to hash_serialized_2
to avoid confusion. The new definition also includes transaction
height and coinbase information, as this information was missing
before.
This depends on having a CHashVerifier-based undo data checksum
verifier.
Apart from changing the definition of serialized_hash, downgrading
after using this patch is supported, as no release ever used the value
of nVersion field in UTXO entries.
