Tree-SHA512: 0a4b3ad74bcac201be490fe12e4b45adeabc39030ac46f40e1aeb2a20b2f3963e4468e65798d8aaeca1818759cab55ff2b2aa214500aa11571492c3301dd31c1
* Trivial: vout->txout
* Re-use SetHexStr in few more places
* Tweak log output
* fix v13 release notes links
* Drop no longer used stuff
* Few more trivial fixes
* Adjust few rpc help strings
* Apply review suggestions
* Implement IsMockTime to test for mock time
* Add real timestamp to log output when mock time is enabled
This makes debugging on Travis easier as it gives a hint about timing
behavior.
The use of mocktime in test logic means that comparisons between
GetTime() and GetTimeMicros()/1000000 are unreliable since the former
can use mocktime values while the latter always gets the system clock;
this changes the networking code's inactivity checks to consistently
use the system clock for inactivity comparisons.
Also remove some hacks from setmocktime() that are no longer needed,
now that we're using the system clock for nLastSend and nLastRecv.
Previously all of these functions could return negative values (for different
readons). Large portions of the codebase currently assume that these
functions return positive values.
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.
