NOTE: These thread names are visible in gdb when using 'info threads'.
Additionally both 'top' and 'ps' show these names *unless* told to
display the command-line instead of task name.

Prior to this change, each TX typically generated 3+ debug messages,
askfor tx 8644cc97480ba1537214 0
sending getdata: tx 8644cc97480ba1537214
askfor tx 8644cc97480ba1537214 1339640761000000

CTxMemPool::accept() : accepted 8644cc9748 (poolsz 6857)
After this change, there is only one message for each valid TX received
CTxMemPool::accept() : accepted 22a73c5d8c (poolsz 42)
and two messages for each orphan tx received
ERROR: FetchInputs() : 673dc195aa mempool Tx prev not found 1e439346fc

The -debugnet option, or its superset -debug, will restore the full debug
output.
The best log rotation method formerly available was to configure
logrotate with the copytruncate option. As described in the logrotate
documentation, "there is a very small time slice between copying the
file and truncating it, so some logging data might be lost".
By sending SIGHUP to the server process, one can now reopen the debug
log file without losing any data.
This commit removes the dependency of serialize.h on PROTOCOL_VERSION,
and makes this parameter required instead of implicit. This is much saner,
as it makes the places where changing a version number can have an
influence obvious.
Reference miner exists for testnet-in-a-box type situations, and as a
reference. We don't care enough about highly optimized internal
mining to keep workarounds like this.
Where possible, use boost::filesystem::path instead of std::string or
char* for filenames. This avoids a lot of manual string tinkering, in
favor of path::operator/.
GetDataDir is also reworked significantly, it now only keeps two cached
directory names (the network-specific data dir, and the root data dir),
which are decided through a parameter instead of pre-initialized global
variables.
Finally, remove the "upgrade from 0.1.5" case where a debug.log in the
current directory has to be removed.
This commit simplifies the locking system: CCriticalSection becomes a
simple typedef for boost::interprocess::interprocess_recursive_mutex,
and CCriticalBlock and CTryCriticalBlock are replaced by a templated
CMutexLock, which wraps boost::interprocess::scoped_lock.
By making the lock type a template parameter, some critical sections
can now be changed to non-recursive locks, which support waiting via
condition variables. These are implemented in CWaitableCriticalSection
and WAITABLE_CRITICAL_BLOCK.
CWaitableCriticalSection is a wrapper for a different Boost mutex,
which supports waiting/notification via condition variables. This
should enable us to remove much of the used polling code. Important
is that this mutex is not recursive, so functions that perform the
locking must not call eachother.
Because boost::interprocess::scoped_lock does not support assigning
and copying, I had to revert to the older CRITICAL_BLOCK macros that
use a nested for loop instead of a simple if.
2^31 milliseconds is only about 25 days. Also clamps Sleep() to 10 years,
because it currently sleeps for 0 seconds when the sleep time would cross
2^31 seconds since the epoch. Hopefully boost will be fixed by 2028.
