QT_NO_KEYWORDS prevents Qt from defining the `foreach`, `signals`,
`slots` and `emit` macros.
Avoid overlap between Qt macros and boost - for example #undef hackiness
in #6421.
To determine the default for `-par`, the number of script verification
threads, use [boost:🧵:physical_concurrency()](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_58_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html#thread.thread_management.thread.physical_concurrency)
which counts only physical cores, not virtual cores.
Virtual cores are roughly a set of cached registers to avoid context
switches while threading, they cannot actually perform work, so spawning
a verification thread for them could even reduce efficiency and will put
undue load on the system.
Should fix issue #6358, as well as some other reported system overload
issues, especially on Intel processors.
The function was only introduced in boost 1.56, so provide a utility
function `GetNumCores` to fall back for older Boost versions.
These dialogs will be something that people occasionally open, not keep
open during their session, so just popping it up in a sensible place
is good enough. Remembering only creates potential issues, like spawning
it outside the current screen area.
On Ubuntu this causes the dialogs to be positioned in the
middle of the main dialog, so I didn't add code for that. YMMV.

Split up util.cpp/h into:
- string utilities (hex, base32, base64): no internal dependencies, no dependency on boost (apart from foreach)
- money utilities (parsesmoney, formatmoney)
- time utilities (gettime*, sleep, format date):
- and the rest (logging, argument parsing, config file parsing)
The latter is basically the environment and OS handling,
and is stripped of all utility functions, so we may want to
rename it to something else than util.cpp/h for clarity (Matt suggested
osinterface).
Breaks dependency of sha256.cpp on all the things pulled in by util.
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.
- add DEFAULT_LISTEN in net.h and use in the code (shared
setting between core and GUI)
Important: This makes it obvious, that we need to re-think the
settings/options handling, as GUI settings are processed before
any parameter-interaction (which is mostly important for network
stuff) in AppInit2()!
Use CFeeRate instead of an int64_t for quantities that are
fee-per-size.
Helps prevent unit-conversion mismatches between the wallet,
relaying, and mining code.
