Ubuntu 16.04 "xenial xerus" does not come with Python 2.x by default.
It is possible to install a python-2.7 package, but this has its own
problem: no `python` or `python2` symlink (see #7717).
This fixes the following scripts to work with python 3:
- `make check` (bctest,py, bitcoin-util-test.py)
- `make translate` (extract_strings_qt.py)
- `make symbols-check` (symbol-check.py)
- `make security-check` (security-check.py)
Explicitly call the python commands using $(PYTHON) instead
of relying on the interpreter line at the top of the scripts.
Use misc methods of avoiding unnecesary header includes.
Replace int typedefs with int##_t from stdint.h.
Replace PRI64[xdu] with PRI[xdu]64 from inttypes.h.
Normalize QT_VERSION ifs where possible.
Resolve some indirect dependencies as direct ones.
Remove extern declarations from .cpp files.
This is necessary as any strings have changed since last time.
Also the python script used to extract bitcoinstrings.cpp, extract_strings_qt.py
now sorts the strings before generating the output file. This results in more
deterministic output and thus smaller diffs.
- Move scripts/qt to share/qt, to clean up toplevel directories
- Update english ts file which is used to source messages for Transifex
- In extract_strings_qt.py use a glob *.h *.cpp, this is safe now that the Wx UI files are removed
