`u_int` is not available on some platforms (not sure what standard it's
supposed to be part of), we don't use it anywhere else, and it doesn't
hurt to simply write `unsigned int` out here.
Define MSG_DONTWAIT and MSG_NO_SIGNAL in the implementation files that
use them (`net.cpp` and `netbase.cpp`), instead of compat.h which is
included all over the place.
This avoids putting them in the global namespace, as defining them as 0
is a hack that works for our specific usage, but it is not a general
solution.
Also makes sure they are defined only once so the `!defined(MSG_x)` guard can go.
Instead of the WIN32-specific workaround, detect lack of `MSG_DONTWAIT`
in the build system. This allows other platforms without `MSG_DONTWAIT`
to work too.
Setting minrelaytxfee to 0 will allow all transactions regardless of fee to enter your mempool until it reaches its size limit. However now that mempool limiting is governed by a separate incrementalrelay fee, it is an unnecessary restriction to prevent a minrelaytxfee of 0.
This a breaking API change to the prioritisetransaction RPC call which previously required exactly three arguments and now requires exactly two (hash and feeDelta). The function prioritiseTransaction is also updated.
"startingpriority" and "currentpriority" are no longer returned in the JSON information about a mempool entry. This affects getmempoolancestors, getmempooldescendants, getmempooolentry, and getrawmempool.
Remove -limitfreerelay and always enforce minRelayTxFee in the mempool (except from disconnected blocks)
Remove -relaypriority, the option was only used for the ability to allow free transactions to be relayed regardless of their priority. Both notions no longer apply.
Previously if an existing watch only key was reimported with a new timestamp,
the new timestamp would not be saved in the key metadata, and would not be used
to update the wallet nTimeFirstKey value (which could cause rescanning to start
at the wrong point and miss transactions).

If InitBlockIndex fails, then it will segfault later. Same for the later
ActivateBestChain. BOOST_REQUIRE the result, so that an error will be
reported and the test case aborted.
Prior to this commit pindexRescan was initialized to a chainActive.Tip().
However, the value of pindexRescan set at time of initialization was never
read before pindexRescan was being set to either chainActive.Genesis()
(case 1), FindForkInGlobalIndex(chainActive, locator) (case 2) or
chainActive.Genesis() (case 3). Thus, the initialization was redundant.
This commit a.) removes the redundant initialization and b.) simplifies
this logic so that pindexRescan is initialized to chainActive.Genesis()
(case 1 and 3), and set to FindForkInGlobalIndex(chainActive, locator)
(case 2) as needed.
This removes the option from the wallet to not pay a fee on "small"
transactions which spend "old" inputs.
This code is no longer worth keeping around, as almost all miners
prefer not to include transactions which pay no fee at all.
Use of `sprintf` is seen as a red flag as many of its uses are insecure.
OpenBSD warns about it while compiling, and some modern platforms, e.g.
[cloudlibc from cloudabi](https://github.com/NuxiNL/cloudlibc) don't
even provide it anymore.
Although our uses of these functions are secure, it can't hurt to
replace them anyway. There are only 3 occurences left, all in the
tests.
