This changes the logging categories to boolean flags instead of strings.
This simplifies the acceptance testing by avoiding accessing a scoped
static thread local pointer to a thread local set of strings. It
eliminates the only use of boost::thread_specific_ptr outside of
lockorder debugging.
This change allows log entries to be directed to multiple categories
and makes it easy to change the logging flags at runtime (e.g. via
an RPC, though that isn't done by this commit.)
It also eliminates the fDebug global.
Configuration of unknown logging categories now produces a warning.
Since we are more accurately measuring pcoinsTip peak usage at twice the current in dynamic usage, it makes sense to double the default (this will lead to the same effective usage and peak usage as previously).
We should also double the buffer used to avoid flushing if above 90% but still sufficient space remaining.
The number of arguments is not checked MutateTxAddOutAddr(..), meaning
that

accessed the vStrInputParts vector beyond its bounds.
This also includes work by jnewbery to check the inputs for
MutateTxAddPubKey()
glibc-specific: On 32-bit systems set the number of arenas to 1. By
default, since glibc 2.10, the C library will create up to two heap
arenas per core. This is known to cause excessive virtual address space
usage in our usage. Work around it by setting the maximum number of
arenas to 1.
Unlike Qt5, the Qt4 signals implementation doesn't allow a signal to be
directly connected to a c++ lambda expression. Work around this by defining a
Callback QObject with a virtual method that can forward calls to a closure.
The Qt4 error was reported by Patrick Strateman <patrick.strateman@gmail.com>
in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10039#issuecomment-289248763
It has no business in `rpcserver.h`. Define it in the interface header
of the implementation unit `rpcblockchain` where it is defined.
Also modernize the signature to:
double GetDifficulty(const CBlockIndex* blockindex = nullptr);
(remove `extern`, replace `NULL` with `nullptr`)
