In spite of the name FindLatestBefore used std::lower_bound to try
to find the earliest block with a nTime greater or equal to the
the requested value. But lower_bound uses bisection and requires
the input to be ordered with respect to the comparison operation.
Block times are not well ordered.
I don't know what lower_bound is permitted to do when the data
is not sufficiently ordered, but it's probably not good.
(I could construct an implementation which would infinite loop...)
To resolve the issue this commit introduces a maximum-so-far to the
block indexes and searches that.
For clarity the function is renamed to reflect what it actually does.
An issue that remains is that there is no grace period in importmulti:
If a address is created at time T and a send is immediately broadcast
and included by a miner with a slow clock there may not yet have been
any block with at least time T.
The normal rescan has a grace period of 7200 seconds, but importmulti
does not.

There is still a call to ActivateBestChain with cs_main if a peer
requests the block prior to it being validated, but this one is
more specifically-gated, so should be less of an issue.

The procedure remains the same, but now there's a nifty script to automate
the signing process.
Future steps:
- Build osslsigncode in the gitian-win descriptor so that the signer itself is
deterministic.
- Verify in the gitian-win-signer descriptor that the expected cert chain was
used.
To ensure that this is the correct chain, it is pulled from a previous release
binary.
Procedure:
$ osslsigncode extract-signature -pem -in bitcoin-0.13.2-win32-setup.exe \
-out bitcoin-0.13.2-win32-setup.exe.pem
$ openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -in bitcoin-0.13.2-win32-setup.exe.pem \
-out win-codesign.cert
Hand-edit to remove comments, as well as the timestamp cert.
