2^31 milliseconds is only about 25 days. Also clamps Sleep() to 10 years,
because it currently sleeps for 0 seconds when the sleep time would cross
2^31 seconds since the epoch. Hopefully boost will be fixed by 2028.
Introduce the following network rule:
* a block is not valid if it contains a transaction whose hash
already exists in the block chain, unless all that transaction's
outputs were already spent before said block.
Warning: this is effectively a network rule change, with potential
risk for forking the block chain. Leaving this unfixed carries the
same risk however, for attackers that can cause a reorganisation
in part of the network.

Before 0.6 addrProxy was a CAddress, but netbase changed it to CService.
Retain compatibility by wrapping/unwrapping with a CAddress when saving
or loading.
This commit retains compatibility with 0.6.0rc1 (which wrote the setting
as a CService) by trying to parse twice.
Doing so would allow an attack on old nodes, which would relay a
standard transaction spending a BIP16 output in an invalid way,
until reaching a new node, which will disconnect their peer.
Reported by makomk on IRC.
Design goals:
* Only keep a limited number of addresses around, so that addr.dat does not grow without bound.
* Keep the address tables in-memory, and occasionally write the table to addr.dat.
* Make sure no (localized) attacker can fill the entire table with his nodes/addresses.
See comments in addrman.h for more detailed information.
- Add "size" and "bits"
- Rename "blockcount" to "height"
- Rename "hashprevious" and "hashnext" to "previousblockhash" and "nextblockhash" (respectively)
When OpenSSL's BN_bn2mpi is passed a buffer of size 4, valgrind
reports reading/writing one byte past it. I am unable to find
evidence of this behaviour in BN_bn2mpi's source code, so it may
be a spurious warning. However, this change is harmless, as only
the bignum with value 0 results in an mpi serialization of size 4.
