This patch makes several related changes:
* Changes the CCoinsView virtual methods (GetCoins, HaveCoins, ...)
to be COutPoint/Coin-based rather than txid/CCoins-based.
* Changes the chainstate db to a new incompatible format that is also
COutPoint/Coin based.
* Implements reconstruction code for hash_serialized_2.
* Adapts the coins_tests unit tests (thanks to Russell Yanofsky).
A side effect of the new CCoinsView model is that we can no longer
use the (unreliable) test for transaction outputs in the UTXO set
to determine whether we already have a particular transaction.
A few code changes were needed to accompany the test:
* Adding setObjectName() calls for a few Qt controls to make them easily
accessible from the test.
* Calling contextMenu->popup() instead of contextMenu->exec() to open
the transaction list context menu without blocking the test thread.
* Opening the context menu at the contextualMenu event point rather than
the cursor position (this change was not strictly needed to make the test
work, but is more correct).
* Updating the bumped transaction row with showTransaction=true instead of
false. This is needed to prevent the bumped tx from being hidden, so the last
part of the test which attempts to bump the bumped tx can work. (Technically
this change is a more general bugfix not limited to the testing environment,
but the bug doesn't happen outside of the testing environment because in the
full Qt client, a queued NotifyTransactionChanged notification causes the row
to be updated twice, first with showTransaction=false, then immediately after
with showTransaction=true.)
Motivation for moving these is to make supporting IPC simpler (#10102), so
these lookups can be one-shot IPC requests, instead of back-and-forth
interactions over the IPC channel.
Also these functions are potentially useful outside of the bitcoin GUI (e.g.
for RPCs).
Abstract database handle from explicit strFilename into
CWalletDBWrapper.
Also move CWallet::Backup to db.cpp - as it deals with representation
details this is a database specific operation.
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.
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.
