-externalip=<ip> can be used to explicitly set the public IP address
of your node. -discover=0 can be used to disable the automatic public
IP discovery system.
This commit removes the dependency of serialize.h on PROTOCOL_VERSION,
and makes this parameter required instead of implicit. This is much saner,
as it makes the places where changing a version number can have an
influence obvious.
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.
This turns on most gcc warnings, and removes some unused variables and other code that triggers warnings.
Exceptions are:
-Wno-sign-compare : triggered by lots of comparisons of signed integer to foo.size(), which is unsigned.
-Wno-char-subscripts : triggered by the convert-to-hex functions (I may fix this in a future commit).
This introduces CNetAddr and CService, respectively wrapping an
(IPv6) IP address and an IP+port combination. This functionality used
to be part of CAddress, which also contains network flags and
connection attempt information. These extra fields are however not
always necessary.
These classes, along with logic for creating connections and doing
name lookups, are moved to netbase.{h,cpp}, which does not depend on
headers.h.
Furthermore, CNetAddr is mostly IPv6-ready, though IPv6
functionality is not yet enabled for the application itself.
Replaced all occurrences of #if* __WXMSW__ with WIN32,
and all occurrences of __WXMAC_OSX__ with MAC_OSX, and made
sure those are defined appropriately in the makefile and bitcoin-qt.pro.
This commit does *not* and should not modify *any* code, it only moves
it from net.h and splits it across protocol.cpp and protocol.hpp.

Move CMessageHeader from net.h to protocol.[ch]pp, with the
implementation in the .cpp compilation unit (compiling once is enough).
This commit does *not* and should not modify *any* code, it only moves
it from net.h and splits it across protocol.cpp and protocol.hpp.
Indentation changes aside the closest thing to a modification of code is
the addition of the 'TODO' comment (the execution of which requires code
modifications and thus doesn't belong in this commit).

Explicitly make these global variables less-global to reduce the maximum
scope of this global state.
In my experience global variables tend to be a major source of bugs. As
such the less accessible they are the less likely they are to be the
source of a bug.

Regarding https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28022.0
main.cpp has: "char pchMessageStart[4] = { 0xf9, 0xbe, 0xb4, 0xd9 };"
Per discussion on the thread linked, leaving the signedness of
pchMessageStart is unsafe for values > 0x80. This patch specifies
'unsigned char' in main.cpp and net.h.

Introduce SendBufferSize() and ReceiveBufferSize(), and limit
the blocks sent as response to the "getblocks" message to
half of the active send buffer size.
Use non-blocking connects, and a select() call to wait a predefined
time (5s by default, but configurable with -timeout) for either
success or failure. This allows much more connections to be tried
per time unit.
Based on a patch by phantomcircuit.
