Instead of using a fixed-width font in a label, which virtually
guarentees a horizontal scrollbar, use a proper text-document
that can re-layout based on user input.
Remove initialization from vector (as this is only used in the tests).
Also implement SetHex and GetHex in terms of uint256, to avoid
duplicate code as well as avoid endianness issues (as they
work in term of bytes).
- Methods that access the guts of arith_uint256 are removed,
as these are incompatible between endians. Use uint256 instead
- Serialization is no longer needed as arith_uint256's are never
read or written
- GetHash is never used on arith_uint256
If uint256() constructor takes a string, uint256(0) will become
dangerous when uint256 does not take integers anymore (it will go
through std::string(const char*) making a NULL string, and the explicit
keyword is no help).
SignatureHash and its test function SignatureHashOld
return uint256(1) as a special error signaling value.
Return a local static constant with the same value instead.
Previous behavior with IsFinalTx() being an IsStandard() rule was rather
confusing and interferred with testing of protocols that depended on
nLockTime.
Otherwise, if CCoinsViewCache::ModifyCoins throws an exception in between
setting hasModifier and constructing the CCoinsModifier, the cache ends up
in an inconsistent state, resulting in an assert failure in the next
modification.
Bug discovered by Wladimir J. van der Laan.
With the splashscreen being able to be closed it is possible to
shutdown during the lengthy verifyDB method. (Takes about a minute
on my machine). This change allows us to shutdown much sooner.

It is easily confused with CCoinsViewCache(CCoinsView*), which creates a sub-cache, but instead of creating a sub-cache, the copy constructor would copy the original and use that original's base, defeating the intended isolation.
