Makes it possible to compactly provide a delibrately invalid signature
for use with CHECK(MULTI)SIG. For instance with BIP19 if m != n invalid
signatures need to be provided in the scriptSig; prior to this change
those invalid signatures would need to be large DER-encoded signatures.
Note that we may want to further expand on this change in the future by
saying that only OP_0 is a "valid" invalid signature; BIP19 even with
this change is inherently malleable as the invalid signatures can be any
validly encoded DER signature.

- qt: avoid hard-coding font names
They may not contain all necessary characters for a language
- qt: fix broken unicode chars on osx 10.10
The default font changed again.
The real fix is to compile qt against a >= 10.8 sdk, but this is simple enough
to backport to 0.10 to avoid having to do that there.
Note: NSAppKitVersionNumber is a double and there's no official value for
NSAppKitVersionNumber10_10. Since == isn't reliable for doubles, use Apple's
guidelines for testing versions here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/releasenotes/AppKit/RN-AppKit/
Chinese and Japanese fonts have been hard-coded as well, otherwise they fail to
show up at all.
- qt: fonts: allow SubstituteFonts to filter based on user's language
SubstituteFonts() has been moved to after app identification so that QSettings
are accessible.

This avoids a regression for issues like #334 where high speed
repeated connections eventually run the HTTP client out of
sockets because all of theirs end up in time_wait.
Maybe the trade-off here is suboptimal, but if both choices will
fail then we prefer fewer changes until the root cause is solved.

It turns out that some miners have been staying with old versions of
Bitcoin Core because their software behaves poorly with persistent
connections and the Bitcoin Core thread and connection limits.
What happens is that underlying HTTP libraries leave connections open
invisibly to their users and then the user runs into the default four
thread limit. This looks like Bitcoin Core is unresponsive to RPC.
There are many things that should be improved in Bitcoin Core's behavior
here, e.g. supporting more concurrent connections, not tying up threads
for idle connections, disconnecting kept-alive connections when limits
are reached, etc. All are fairly big, risky changes.
Disabling keep-alive is a simple workaround. It's often not easy to turn
off the keep-alive support in the client where it may be buried in some
platform library.
If you are one of the few who really needs persistent connections you
probably know that you want them and can find a switch; while if you
don't and the misbehavior is hitting you it is hard to discover the
source of your problems is keepalive related. Given that it is best
to default to off until they're handled better.

This will disconnect peers that do not transfer a block in 10 minutes, plus
5 minutes for every previously queued block with validated headers
(accomodating downstream bandwidth down to a few kilobytes per second - below
that the node would have trouble staying synchronized anyway).

New versions of OpenSSL will reject non-canonical DER signatures. However,
it'll happily decode them. Decode then re-encode before verification in order
to ensure that it is properly consumed.

Otherwise, if CCoinsViewCache::ModifyCoins throws an exception in between

in an inconsistent state, resulting in an assert failure in the next

With the splashscreen being able to be closed it is possible to
shutdown during the lengthy verifyDB method. (Takes about a minute
on my machine). This change allows us to shutdown much sooner.

Broken hash logic caused all depends on some platforms (osx at least) to end up
with the same build-id. Without this fix, nothing will be rebuilt when recipes

Previously an empty script wouldn't be hashed, and CScriptID would be
assigned the incorrect value of 0 instead. This bug can be seen in the
RPC decodescript command:
$ btc decodescript ""
{
"asm" : "",
"type" : "nonstandard",
"p2sh" : "31h1vYVSYuKP6AhS86fbRdMw9XHieotbST"
}
Correct output:
$ btc decodescript ""
{
"asm" : "",
"type" : "nonstandard",
"p2sh" : "3J98t1WpEZ73CNmQviecrnyiWrnqRhWNLy"
