The wallet now uses the mempool fee estimator with a new
command-line option: -txconfirmtarget (default: 1) instead
of using hard-coded fees or priorities.
A new bitcoind that hasn't seen enough transactions to estimate
will fall back to the old hard-coded minimum priority or
transaction fee.
-paytxfee option overrides -txconfirmtarget.
Relaying and mining code isn't changed.
For Qt, the coin control dialog now uses priority estimates to
label transaction priority (instead of hard-coded constants);
unspent outputs were consistently labeled with a much higher
priority than is justified by the free transactions actually
being accepted into blocks.
I did not implement any GUI for setting -txconfirmtarget; I would
suggest getting rid of the "Pay transaction fee" GUI and replace
it with either "target number of confirmations" or maybe
a "faster confirmation <--> lower fee" slider or select box.
This changes the keystore data format, wallet format and IsMine logic
to detect watch-only outputs based on direct script matching rather
than first trying to convert outputs to destinations (addresses).
The reason is that we don't know how the software that has the spending
keys works. It may support the same types of scripts as us, but that is
not guaranteed. Furthermore, it removes the ambiguity between addresses
used as identifiers for output scripts or identifiers for public keys.
One practical implication is that adding a normal pay-to-pubkey-hash
address via importaddress will not cause payments to the corresponding
full public key to be detected as IsMine. If that is wanted, add those
scripts directly (importaddress now also accepts any hex-encoded script).

Changes:
* Add Add/Have WatchOnly methods to CKeyStore, and implementations
in CBasicKeyStore.
* Add similar methods to CWallet, and support entries for it in
CWalletDB.
* Make IsMine in script/wallet return a new enum 'isminetype',
rather than a boolean. This allows distinguishing between
spendable and unspendable coins.
* Add a field fSpendable to COutput (GetAvailableCoins' return type).
* Mark watchonly coins in listunspent as 'watchonly': true.
* Add 'watchonly' to validateaddress, suppressing script/pubkey/...
in this case.

Note: This is added to our existing automake targets rather than as a
libtool-style lib. The switch to libtool-style targets can come later if it
proves to not add any complications.
After pull #4288, RPC messages indicating errors have a Content-Length unrelated
to their actual contents, rendering bitcoin-cli and curl unable to decode the
reply.
This patch sets the Content-Length field based on the actual content returned.
Additionally, pull #4288 clobbered the error descriptions provided in
ErrorReply, which bitcoin-cli relies upon; this patch moves #4288 http-error
descriptions to an HTTPError method, allowing HTTPReply to pass content on
unchanged.
The original comment forgets to account for the script push which will
need an OP_PUSHDATA2 + 2-bytes for the 513 script bytes.

fixes#4224
-respendnotify=<cmd> Execute command when a network tx respends wallet
tx input (%s=respend TxID, %t=wallet TxID)
Add respendsobserved array to gettransaction, listtransactions, and
listsinceblock RPCs. This omits the malleated clones that are included
in the walletconflicts array.
Add RPC help for respendsobserved and walletconflicts (help was missing
for the latter).
Respend transactions that conflict with transactions already in the
wallet are added to it. They are not displayed unless they also involve
the wallet, or get into a block. If they do not involve the wallet,
they continue not to affect balance.
Transactions that involve the wallet, and have conflicting non-equivalent
transactions, are highlighted in red. When the conflict first occurs, a
modal dialog is thrown.
CWallet::SyncMetaData is changed to sync only to equivalent transactions.
When a conflict is added to the wallet, counter nConflictsReceived is
incremented. This acts like a change in active block height for the
purpose of triggering UI updates.
Allows network wallets and other clients to see transactions that respend
a prevout already spent in an unconfirmed transaction in this node's mempool.
Knowledge of an attempted double-spend is of interest to recipients of the
first spend. In some cases, it will allow these recipients to withhold
goods or services upon being alerted of a double-spend that deprives them
of payment.
As before, respends are not added to the mempool.
Anti-Denial-of-Service-Attack provisions:
- Use a bloom filter to relay only one respend per mempool prevout
- Rate-limit respend relays to a default of 100 thousand bytes/minute
- Define tx2.IsEquivalentTo(tx1): equality when scriptSigs are not considered
- Do not relay these equivalent transactions
Remove an unused variable declaration in txmempool.cpp.
