1d9b86d boost: drop dependency on is_fundamental in serialization (Cory Fields)
There's only one case where a vector containing a fundamental type is
serialized all-at-once, unsigned char. Anything else would lead to
strange results.
Use a dummy argument to overload in that case.
Previous refactorings broke the ability to rebuild the chainstate by deleting the chainstate
directory, resulting in an incorrect "Incorrect or no genesis block found" error message. Fix
that.
Also, improve the performance of ActivateBestBlockStep by using the skiplist to only discover
a few potential blocks to connect at a time, instead of all blocks forever - as we likely bail
out after connecting a single one anyway.
Instead of skipping to the last reindexed block in each file (which could
jump over processed out-of-order blocks), just skip each already processed
block individually.
Remember out-of-order block headers along with disk positions. This is
likely the simplest and least-impact way to make -reindex work with
headers first.
Based on top of #4468.
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.
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.
