Variable-length integers: bytes are a MSB base-128 encoding of the number.
The high bit in each byte signifies whether another digit follows. To make
the encoding is one-to-one, one is subtracted from all but the last digit.
Thus, the byte sequence a[] with length len, where all but the last byte
has bit 128 set, encodes the number:
(a[len-1] & 0x7F) + sum(i=1..len-1, 128^i*((a[len-i-1] & 0x7F)+1))
Properties:
* Very small (0-127: 1 byte, 128-16511: 2 bytes, 16512-2113663: 3 bytes)
* Every integer has exactly one encoding
* Encoding does not depend on size of original integer type

Corrupt wallets used to cause a DB_RUNRECOVERY uncaught exception and a
crash. This commit does three things:
1) Runs a BDB verify early in the startup process, and if there is a
low-level problem with the database:
+ Moves the bad wallet.dat to wallet.timestamp.bak
+ Runs a 'salvage' operation to get key/value pairs, and
writes them to a new wallet.dat
+ Continues with startup.
2) Much more tolerant of serialization errors. All errors in deserialization
are reported by tolerated EXCEPT for errors related to reading keypairs
or master key records-- those are reported and then shut down, so the user
can get help (or recover from a backup).
3) Adds a new -salvagewallet option, which:
+ Moves the wallet.dat to wallet.timestamp.bak
+ extracts ONLY keypairs and master keys into a new wallet.dat
+ soft-sets -rescan, to recreate transaction history
This was tested by randomly corrupting testnet wallets using a little
python script I wrote (https://gist.github.com/3812689)
Before, opening a -datadir that was created with a new
version of Berkeley DB would result in an un-caught DB_RUNRECOVERY
exception.
After these changes, the error is caught and the user is told
that there is a problem and is told how to try to recover from
it.

I2P apparently needs 256 bits to store a fully routable address. Garlicat
requires a centralized lookup service to map the 80-bit addresses to fully
routable ones (as far as I understood), so that's not really usable in our
situation.
To support I2P routing and peer exchange for it, another solution is needed.
This will most likely imply a network protocol change, and extension of the
'addr' message.
- fix#1560 by properly locking proxy related data-structures
- update GetProxy() and introduce GetNameProxy() to be able to use a
thread-safe local copy from proxyInfo and nameproxyInfo
- update usage of GetProxy() all over the source to match the new
behaviour, as it now fills a full proxyType object
- rename GetNameProxy() into HaveNameProxy() to be more clear
This allows fun stuff such as `bitcoin --help | less`, and more
easy piping to files.
Looking at other tools such as bash, gcc, they all send their help
text to stdout.
As the code was before, toHTML added empty elements to mapValue to check for their existance. Now first it check for their existance and then for their non-emptiness.
Removed a duplicated identical if
There are two equal ifs, one inside another. If the first one is true, then the second one is true.
Due to a bug in the implementation of MakeSameSize(), using OP_AND, OP_OR, or OP_XOR with signed values of unequal size will result in the sign-value becoming part of the smaller integer, with nonsensical results. This patch documents the unexpected behavior and provides the basis of a solution should decision be made to fix the bug in the future.
