Normally bitcoin core does not display any network originated strings without
sanitizing or hex encoding. This wasn't done for strcommand in many places.
This could be used to play havoc with a terminal displaying the logs,
especially with printtoconsole in use.
Thanks to Evil-Knievel for reporting this issue.
The only time when a client sends a "getaddr" message is when he
esatblishes an Outbound connection (see ProcessMessage() in
src/main.cpp). Another bitcoin client is expected to receive a
"getaddr" message only on Inbound connection. Ignoring "gettaddr"
requests on Outbound connections can resolve potential privacy issues
(and as was said such request normally do not happen anyway).
Instead, create a separate function that applies the undo operation of a
CTxInUndo object onto a CCoinsViewCache. This method is used from
DisconnectBlock.
Note that this will also require translation changes in Transifex for the key
"A fee higher than %1 is considered an insanely high fee." which is now
"A fee higher than %1 is considered an absurdly high fee."

This harmonizes the block fetch timeout with the existing ping timeout
and eliminates a guaranteed eventual failure from congestion collapse
for a network operating right at its limit.
It's unlikely that we wouldn't suffer other failures if we were really
anywhere near the network's limit, and a complete avoidance of congestion
collapse risk requires (I think) an exponential back-off. So this isn't
a major concern, but I think it's also useful for reducing the complexity
of understanding out timeouts.
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).

If uint256() constructor takes a string, uint256(0) will become
dangerous when uint256 does not take integers anymore (it will go
through std::string(const char*) making a NULL string, and the explicit
keyword is no help).
Previous behavior with IsFinalTx() being an IsStandard() rule was rather
confusing and interferred with testing of protocols that depended on
nLockTime.
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.
