This changes the block processing logic from "try to atomically switch
to a new block" to a continuous "(dis)connect a block, aiming for the
assumed best chain".
This means the smallest atomic operations on the chainstate become
individual block connections or disconnections, instead of entire
reorganizations. It may mean that we try to reorganize to one block,
fail, and rereorganize again to the old block. This is slower, but
doesn't require unbounded RAM.
It also means that a ConnectBlock which fails may be no longer called
from the ProcessBlock which knows which node sent it. To deal with that,
a mapBlockSource is kept, and invalid blocks cause asynchronous "reject"
messages and banning (if necessary).
Previously CreateNewBlock() didn't take into account the fact that
IsFinalTx() without any arguments tests if the transaction is considered
final in the *current* block, when both those functions really needed to
know if the transaction would be final in the *next* block.
Additionally the UI had a similar misunderstanding.
Also adds some basic tests to check that CreateNewBlock() is in fact
mining nLockTime-using transactions correctly.
Thanks to Wladimir J. van der Laan for rebase.
Unit tests would fail if compiled with -DDEBUG_LOCKORDER (AssertLockHeld()
would fail; AssertLockHeld() relies on the DEBUG_LOCKORDER code to keep
track of locks held).
Fixed by LOCK'ing the wallet mutex in the unit tests that manipulate the
wallet.
After the tinyformat switch sprintf() family functions support passing
actual std::string objects.
Remove unnecessary c_str calls (236 of them) in logging and formatting.

4e57e23 enable full GCC Stack-smashing protection for all OSes (Philip Kaufmann)
- rebuilt some ui file layout to remove unreal values from the files
- remove an unneeded attribute from an ui file
- add / remove some spaces in files
- change our hardening options to use -fstack-protector-all even for
Windows builds, as we recently switched to a newer compiler suite
- also removes an obsolete workaround for GCC 4.5
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.5/+bug/691722), which
required to first set -fno-stack-protector, before -fstack-protector-all
