In some corner cases, it may be possible for recent blocks to end up in
the same block file as much older blocks. Previously, the pruning code
would stop looking for files to remove upon first encountering a file
containing a block that cannot be pruned, now it will keep looking for
candidate files until the target is met and all other criteria are
satisfied.
This can result in a noncontiguous set of block files (by number) on
disk, which is fine except for during some reindex corner cases, so
make reindex preparation smarter such that we keep the data we can
actually use and throw away the rest. This allows pruning to work
correctly while downloading any blocks needed during the reindex.

Change `read_string` to fail when not the entire input has been
consumed. This avoids unexpected, even dangerous behavior (fixes#6223).
The new JSON parser adapted in #6121 also solves this problem so in
master this is a temporary fix, but should be backported to older releases.
Also adds tests for the new behavior.
If/when CTransaction::CURRENT_VERSION is incremented, this will break CChainParams and the miner tests. This fix sets the transaction version explicitly where we depend on the hash value (genesis block, proof of work checks).

Until secp256k1 is used for verification there is no reason for Bitcoin
Core's secp256k1 to link against gmp, even if available. Pass a flag to
configure to override the bignum implementation.
This fixes a crash at runtime on ppc64 reported by @gmaxwell.
Add information about further notable changes:
- Big endian support
- Memory usage optimization
- Disable wallet transaction broadcast
- Stream isolation for Tor
Under some circumstances it is possible for there to be a significant,
discontinuous jump in a node's clock value. On mining nodes, this can
result in block templates which are no longer valid due to time-based
nLockTime constraints. UpdateTime() is modified so that it will never
decrease a block's nLockTime, thereby preventing such invalidations.
