Remove the nType and nVersion as parameters to all serialization methods
and functions. There is only one place where it's read and has an impact
(in CAddress), and even there it does not impact any of the recursively
invoked serializers.
Instead, the few places that need nType or nVersion are changed to read
it directly from the stream object, through GetType() and GetVersion()
methods which are added to all stream classes.
Given that in default GetSerializeSize implementations created by
ADD_SERIALIZE_METHODS we're already using CSizeComputer(), get rid
of the specialized GetSerializeSize methods everywhere, and just use
CSizeComputer. This removes a lot of code which isn't actually used
anywhere.
For CCompactSize and CVarInt this actually removes a more efficient
size computing algorithm, which is brought back in a later commit.
The stream implementations had two cascading layers (the upper one
with operator<< and operator>>, and a lower one with read and write).
The lower layer's functions are never cascaded (nor should they, as
they should only be used from the higher layer), so make them return
void instead.
Makes it an error to use flags that have not been defined
on the libconsensus API.
There has been some confusion as to what pass to libconsensus, and
(combined with mention in the release notes) this should clear it up.
Using undocumented flags is a risk because their meaning,
and what combinations are allowed, changes from release to release.
E.g. it is no longer possible to pass (CLEANSTACK | P2SH) without
running into an assertion after the segwit changes.
script_tests: always test bitcoinconsensus_verify_script_with_amount if VERIFY_WITNESS isn't set
Rename internal method + make it static
trim bitcoinconsensus_ prefix
Add SERIALIZE_TRANSACTION_WITNESS flag
