On hosts that had spent some time with a failed internet connection their
nAttempts penalty was going through the roof (e.g. thousands for all peers)
and as a result the connect search was pegging the CPU and failing to get
more than a 4 connections after days of running (because it was taking so
long per try).
According to Tor's extensions to the SOCKS protocol
(https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/socks-extensions.txt)
it is possible to perform stream isolation by providing authentication
to the proxy. Each set of credentials will create a new circuit,
which makes it harder to correlate connections.
This patch adds an option, `-proxyrandomize` (on by default) that randomizes
credentials for every outgoing connection, thus creating a new circuit.

Compare the block download timeout to what the timeout would be if calculated
based on current time and current value of nQueuedValidatedHeaders, but
ignoring other in-flight blocks from the same peer. If the calculation based on
present conditions is shorter, then set that to be the time after which we
disconnect the peer for not delivering this block.

Some tests in CheckBlockIndex require chainActive.Tip(), but when reindexing, chainActive has not been set on the first call to CheckBlockIndex.
reindex.py starts a node, mines 3 blocks, stops, and reindexes with CheckBlockIndex enabled.
Define CTransaction::IsEquivalentTo(const CTransaction& tx)
True if only scriptSigs are different. In other words, true if
the two transactions are malleability clones. In other words,
true if the two transactions have the same effect on the
outside universe.
In the wallet, only SyncMetaData for equivalent transactions.
SendMessages will now call getheaders on both inbound and outbound peers,
once the headers chain is close to synced. It will also try downloading
blocks from inbound peers once we're out of initial block download (so
inbound peers will participate in parallel block fetching for the last day
or two of blocks being downloaded).
This adds more tests to CheckBlockIndex:
- HAVE_DATA is true iff nTx > 0
- BLOCK_VALID_TRANSACTIONS is true iff nTx > 0
- BLOCK_VALID_TRANSACTIONS is true for a block and all parents iff
nChainTx > 0
This is an advanced feature which will disable any kind of automatic
transaction broadcasting in the wallet. This gives the user full control
of how the transaction is sent.
For example they can broadcast new transactions through some other
mechanism themselves, after getting the transaction hex through `gettransaction`.
This just adds the option `-walletbroadcast=<0,1>`. Right now these
transactions will get the status
Status: conflicted, has not been successfully broadcast yet
They shouldn't be shown as conflicted at all (`walletconflicts` is empty). This status
will go away when the transaction is received through the network.
The environment is prepared by the main thread to guard against invalid locale settings and to prevent deinitialization issues of Boost path, which can result in app crashes.

This adds a -checkblockindex (defaulting to true for regtest), which occasionally
does a full consistency check for mapBlockIndex, setBlockIndexCandidates, chainActive, and
mapBlocksUnlinked.
The scope of `std::locale::global` appears to be smaller than `setenv("LC_ALL", ...)` and insufficient to fix messed up locale settings for the whole application.
This fixes a subtle bug involving block re-orgs and non-standard transactions.
Start with a block containing a non-standard transaction, and
one or more transactions spending it in the memory pool.
Then re-org away from that block to another chain that does
not contain the non-standard transaction.
Result before this fix: the dependent transactions get stuck
in the mempool without their parent, putting the mempool
in an inconsistent state.
Tested with a new unit test.
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.
