The year is 2014. All supported operating systems have IPv6 support,
most certainly at build time (this doesn't mean that IPv6 is configured,
of course).
If noone is exercising the functionality to disable it, that means it
doesn't get tested, and IMO it's better to get rid of it.
(it's also not used consistently in RPC/boost and Net code...)
The patch to make it possible to configure the LXC IPs has been merged
upstream. This means that it is no longer needed to patch gitian.
Remove that workaround.
Drawback: The version string is no longer a valid git identifier.
For this reason the 'g' short hash prefix has been removed.
Exception: When building directly from a tag this behaves exactly like the previous behavior.
This allows formatting release versions with precision i.e. v0.9.2
This also allows arbitrary topicbranch names i.e. v0.9.1-glibc-compat

Bumps deps-linux, deps-win dependency versions as well.
qt-win does not need to be bumped, as although it depends on deps-win,
Qt doesn't use miniupnp. I verified this by rebuilding the dependency
and checking the the output is the same. Not having to rebuild Qt is a
good thing as it is huge.
Now that 0.9 is branched off, the new release notes for 0.10 or 0.11 or
1.0 should be added here.
Edits to preliminary 0.9.0 release notes should be made in the 0.9.0 branch.
The FTP server what we get libpng from only keeps the latest version in its main folder. Older versions are in the "history" folder. Apparently version 1.6.9 has been released, so 1.6.8 has moved to the history folder.
Instead of using the boost provided by Ubuntu 12.04, build our own
dependency like we do for Windows.
This allows using a much newer version (1.55 versus 1.46) as well as
building with `-fPIC` so that `-pie` can be used in the x86-64 build.
Use a series of .png frames for the spinner instead of a .mng.
`mng` is an obscure image format and is not built by default into Qt5.
This appears to improve the crispness of the spinner as well.
Does not noticably increase the size (still ~27k) and the code
is not more complicated either.
