PR #10286 introduced a few steps which are not robust to early shutdown
in initialization.
Stumbled upon this with #11781, not sure if there are other scenarios
that can trigger it, but it's harden against this in any case.
Note that UpdatedBlockTip is also used in net_processing to
announce new blocks to peers. As this may need additional review,
this change is included in its own commit.
This runs Block{Connected,Disconnected}, SetBestChain, Inventory,
and TransactionAddedToMempool on the background scheduler thread.
Of those, only BlockConnected is used outside of Wallet/ZMQ, and
is used only for orphan transaction removal in net_processing,
something which does not need to be synchronous with anything
else.
This partially reverts #9583, re-enabling some of the gains from
#7946. This does not, however, re-enable the gains achieved by
repeatedly releasing cs_main between each transaction processed.
This is both good practice (we want to move all such callbacks
into a background thread eventually) and prevents a lock inversion
when we go to use this in wallet (mempool.cs->cs_wallet and
cs_wallet->mempool.cs would otherwise both be used).
This is currently unused, but will by used by wallet to cache when
transactions are in the mempool, obviating the need for calls to
mempool from CWalletTx::InMempool()
Note that the CScheduler thread cant be running at this point,
it has already been stopped with the rest of the init threadgroup.
Thus, just calling any remaining loose callbacks during Shutdown()
is sane.
This will be used by CValidationInterface soon.
This requires a bit of work as we need to ensure that most of our
callbacks happen in-order (to avoid synchronization issues in
wallet) - we keep our own internal queue and push things onto it,
scheduling a queue-draining function immediately upon new
callbacks.
(by hiding boost::signals stuff in the .cpp)
This allows us to give it a bit more intelligence as we move
forward, including routing some signals through CScheduler. While
the introduction of a "internals" pointer in the class is pretty
ugly, the fact that we no longer need to include boost/signals
directly from validationinterface.h is very much worth the loss.
This makes it possible to mine to any wallet when multi-wallet mode is added.
Solves the same problem as #10649, but IMO in a cleaner way.
It also gets rid of the circuitous `ScriptForMining` method on
`CValidationInterface`, which really doesn't belong there.
After this change it's still possible to mine without wallet through
`generatetoaddress`.
This removes another callback from block connection logic, making it
easier to reason about the wallet-RPCs-returns-stale-info issue.
UpdatedTransaction was previously used by the GUI to display
coinbase transactions only after they have a block built on top of
them. This worked fine for in most cases, but only worked due to a
corner case if the user received a coinbase payout in a block
immediately prior to restart. In that case, the normal process of
caching the most recent coinbase transaction's hash would not work,
and instead it would only work because of the on-load -checkblocks
calling DisconnectBlock and ConnectBlock on the current tip.
In order to make this more robust, a full mapWallet loop after the
first block which is connected after restart was added.
This simplifies fixing the wallet-returns-stale-info issue as we
can now hold cs_wallet across an entire block instead of only
per-tx (though we only actually do so in the next commit).
This change also removes the NOT_IN_BLOCK constant in favor of only
passing the CBlockIndex* parameter to SyncTransactions when a new
block is being connected, instead of also when a block is being
disconnected.
This change adds a parameter to BlockConnectedDisconnected which
lists the transactions which were removed from mempool due to
confliction as a result of this operation. While its somewhat of a
shame to make block-validation-logic generate a list of mempool
changes to be included in its generated callbacks, fixing this isnt
too hard.
Further in this change-set, CValidationInterface starts listening
to mempool directly, placing it in the middle and giving it a bit
of logic to know how to route notifications from block-validation,
mempool, etc (though not listening for conflicted-removals yet).
In anticipation of making all the callbacks out of block processing
flow through it. Note that vHashes will always have something in it
since pindexFork != pindexNewTip.

Bugfix: Adjust build system to link ZeroMQ code for Qt binaries
Adds a regression test for the wallet's ResendWalletTransactions function, which uses a new, hidden RPC command "resendwallettransactions."
I refactored main's Broadcast signal so it is passed the best-block time, which let me remove a global variable shared between main.cpp and the wallet (nTimeBestReceived).
I also manually tested the "rebroadcast unconfirmed every half hour or so" functionality by:
1. Running bitcoind -connect=0.0.0.0:8333
2. Creating a couple of send-to-self transactions
3. Connect to a peer using -addnode
4. Waited a while, monitoring debug.log, until I see:
```2015-03-23 18:48:10 ResendWalletTransactions: rebroadcast 2 unconfirmed transactions```
One last change: don't bother putting ResendWalletTransactions messages in debug.log unless unconfirmed transactions were actually rebroadcast.
