bitcoin-config.h moved, but the old file is likely to still exist when
reconfiguring or switching branches. This would've caused files to not rebuild
correctly, and other strange problems.
Make the path explicit so that the old one cannot be found.
Core libs use config/bitcoin-config.h.
Libs (like crypto) which don't want access to bitcoin's headers continue
to use -Iconfig and #include bitcoin-config.h.
This avoids a race condition in which the connection was
made but the version handshake is not completed yet. In that
case transactions won't be broadcasted to a peer yet, and
the nodes will wait forever for their mempools to sync.
`&vch[vch.size()]` and even `&vch[0]` on vectors can cause assertion
errors with VC in debug mode. This is the problem mentioned in #4239.
The deeper problem with this is that we rely on undefined behavior.
- Add `begin_ptr` and `end_ptr` functions that get the beginning and end
pointer of vector in a reliable way that copes with empty vectors and
doesn't reference outside the vector
(see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1339470/how-to-get-the-address-of-the-stdvector-buffer-start-most-elegantly/1339767#1339767).
- Add a convenience constructor to CFlatData that wraps a vector.
I added `begin_ptr` and `end_ptr` as separate functions as I imagine
they will be useful in more places.
