Many changes:
* Do not use 'getblocks', but 'getheaders', and use it to build a headers tree.
* Blocks are fetched in parallel from all available outbound peers, using a
limited moving window. When one peer stalls the movement of the window, it is
disconnected.
* No more orphan blocks. At all. We only ever request a block for which we have
verified the headers, and store it to disk immediately. This means that a
disk-fill attack would require PoW.
* Require protocol version 31800 for every peer (released in december 2010).
* No more syncnode (we sync from everyone we can, though limited to 1 during
initial *headers* sync).
* Introduce some extra named constants, comments and asserts.
Similar to the INCLUDES changes in 6b099402b4, split out LIBS into individual
entries for more fine-grained control.
Also add MINIUPNPC_LIBS which was missing before, and hook it up to
executables.
d5fd094 build: fix qt test build when libprotobuf is in a non-standard path (Cory Fields)
a7d1f03 build: fix dynamic boost check when --with-boost= is used (Cory Fields)
There's a brief race here, the process might've already exited and cleaned up
after itself. If that's the case, reading from the pidfile will harmlessly
fail. Keep those quiet.

6de50c3 qt: add network-specific style object (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Mainly cleanups: Gets rid of isTestNet everywhere, by keeping track
of network-specific theming in a central place.
Also makes GUI no longer dependent on the network ID enumeration, which
alleviates concerns about #4802.
This adds a -regetest-only undocumented (for regression testing only)
command-line option -blockversion=N to set block.nVersion.
Adds to the "has the rest of the network upgraded to a
block.nVersion we don't understand" code so it calls
-alertnotify when 51 of the last 100 blocks are up-version.
But it only alerts once, not with every subsequent new, upversion
block.
And adds a forknotify.py regression test to make sure it works.
Tested using forknotify.py:
Before adding CAlert::Notify, get:
Assertion failed: -alertnotify did not warn of up-version blocks
Before adding code to only alert once:
Assertion failed: -alertnotify excessive warning of up-version blocks
After final code in this pull:

* Delete canonical_tests.cpp, and move the tests to script_tests.cpp.
* Split off SCRIPT_VERIFY_DERSIG from SCRIPT_VERIFY_STRICTENC (the BIP62 part of it).
* Change signature STRICTENC/DERSIG semantics to fail the script entirely rather than the CHECKSIG result (softfork safety, and BIP62 requirement).
* Add many autogenerated tests for several odd cases.
* Mention specific BIP62 rules in the script verification flags.

d6b0539 travis: add non-default shell testing to travis. (Cory Fields)
Make it possible to read blocks in any order. This will be required
after headers-first (#4468), so should be merged before that.
- Read block header. For expected blocks, continue, else skip.
- For in-order blocks: copy block contents directly. Write prior
out-of-order blocks if this connects a consecutive span.
- For out-of-order blocks, store extents of block data for later
retrieval. Cache out-of-order blocks in memory up to 100MB
(configurable).
