Previously transactions were only tested again the
STANDARD_SCRIPT_VERIFY_FLAGS prior to mempool acceptance, so any bugs in
those flags that allowed actually-invalid transactions to pass would
result in allowing invalid transactions into the mempool. Fortunately
there is a second check in CreateNewBlock() that would prevent those
transactions from being mined, resulting in an invalid block, however
this could still be exploited as a DoS attack.

This still leaves transactions in mempool that are potentially
invalid if the maturity period has been reorged out of, but at
least they're not missing inputs entirely.
- current code only does this for payment request files, which are
used on Mac
- also rename readPaymentRequest to readPaymentRequestFromFile, so it's
obvious that function only handles payment request files and not URIs
- small logging changes in readPaymentRequestFromFile

TLS is subject to downgrade attacks when SSLv3 is available, and
SSLv3 has vulnerabilities.
The popular solution is to disable SSLv3. On the web this breaks
some tiny number of very old clients. While Bitcoin RPC shouldn't
be exposed to the open Internet, it also shouldn't be exposed to
really old SSL implementations, so it shouldn't be a major issue
for us to disable SSLv3.
There is more information on the downgrade attacks and disabling
SSLv3 at https://disablessl3.com/ .
