* Litecon: Modify thread names
Since this string is displayed externally within lists of processes and should be consistent with branding, and not cause confusion for admins, when running "top", "ps aux", "pgrep" or similar commands.
* Litecoin: Remove invalid doxygen link
* Litecoin: Add additional optional build steps for osx builds
Fixes: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/issues/463
* Litecoin: Show scrypt sse2 status in configure and fix scrypt syntax issue
The blockmaxsize option was marked as deprecated in V0.15.1, and code
was added to convert provided blockmaxsize into blockmaxweight. However,
this code was incorrectly implemented, and blockmaxsize was silently
ignored.
No users have complained about blockmaxsize being ignored, so just
remove it in V0.17.

0) Adjust BIP30 enforcement values
1) Reduce amount that peers can adjust our time to eliminate an attack vector. Thanks to
coblee for this fix.
2) Zeitgeist2 patch - thanks to Lolcust and ArtForz. This fixes an issue where a
51% attack can change difficulty at will. Go back the full period unless it's the
first retarget after genesis.
3) Avoid overflow in CalculateNextWorkRequired(). Thanks to pooler for the overflow fix.
4) Zeitgeist2 bool fshift bnNew.bits(). Thanks to romanornr for this path.
5) SegWit ContextualCheckBlockHeader adjustment and extra coverage.
6) Reject peer proto version below 70002. Thanks to wtogami for this patch.
7) Send final alert message to nodes warning about removal of the alert system. Thanks to coblee for this patch.
8) Adjust default settings for Litecoin.
About time, before tagging final.

Also warn if bitcoind is configured to use a relative -datadir path.
Specifying paths relative to the current working directory in a daemon process
can be dangerous, because files can fail to be located even if the
configuration doesn't change, but the daemon is started up differently.
Specifying a relative -datadir now adds a warning to the debug log. It would
not be backwards-compatible to forbid relative -datadir paths entirely, and it
could also be also inconvenient for command line testing.
Specifying a relative -walletdir now results in a startup error. But since the
-walletdir option is new in 0.16.0, there should be no compatibility issues.
Another reason not to use working directory paths for -walletdir specifically
is that the default -walletdir is a "wallets" subdirectory inside the datadir,
so it could be surprising that setting -walletdir manually would choose a
directory rooted in a completely different location.
GUI wallet uses RBF by default, regardless of -walletrbf.
RPC and debug console in the GUI remain unchanged; they don't
use RBF by default, unless launched with -walletrbf=1.
- Added steps to specify required source location for Windows WSL
builds.
- Attempted to make the introduction and options for building on Windows
clearer.
Instead of maintaining not-easily-tested instructions for building BerkeleyDB
in doc/build-unix.md, package the installation as a script in contrib/. This
allows shared usage from a number of contexts, e.g. Docker.
Thanks to @jonasschnelli, @laanwj for feedback.
