This commit decouples the pMiningKey initialization and shutdown from the RPC
threads.
`getwork` and `getblocktemplate` rely on pMiningKey, and can also be ran
from the debug window in the UI even when the RPC server is not running.
Solves issue #2706.

This seems to cause problems on recent clang, and looks totally
redundant and unused.
The const_iterator version is identical to the vector::const_iterator
one (which is a typedef thereof). Marking it private (instead of
removing) compiles fine, so this version is effectively unused even.
mingw upgrade allows more hardening, compiler bug fixes and possibily win64 later.
Rename deps .zip files to be more consistent in revision format.

* x86_64 and Intel MacOS X always uses scrypt-sse2, non-x86 uses scrypt-generic.
* x86 (not Mac) detects cpuid features and chooses sse2 or generic during runtime.
How to Build with SSE2 Support
==============================
* make litecoind with USE_SSE2=1
* qmake with USE_SSE2=1
As we'd previously learned, OSX's fsync is a data eating lie.
Since 0.8.4 we're still getting some reports of disk corruption on
OSX but now all of it looks like the block files have gotten out of
sync with the database. It turns out that we were still using fsync()
on the block files, so this isn't surprising.
This also makes negative transaction versions non-standard.
This avoids an issue triggered in Bitcoin block 256818 where transactions with
negative version numbers were incorrectly serialized into the UTXO set.
On restart nodes detect the inconsistency and refuse to start so long as
a block with these transactions is inside the self-consistency check
window, logging "coin database inconsistencies found". The software
recommends reindexing, but reindexing does not correct the problem.
This should be fixed by changing the chainstate serialization, but
working around it seems harmless for now because the version is not
used by any network rule currently.
A patch free workaround is to start with -checklevel=2 which skips
the consistency checks, but the IsStandard change is important for
miners in order to protect unpatched nodes.
This reduces a peer's ability to attack network resources by
using a full bloom filter, but without reducing the usability
of bloom filters. It sets a default match everything filter
for peers and it generalizes a prior optimization to
cover more cases.
