2dbfb37b407ed23b517f507d78fb77334142dce5 Fix Char as Bool in interfaces (Jeremy Rubin)
Pull request description:
In a few places in src/wallet/wallet.h, we use a char when semantically we want a bool.
This is kind of an issue because it means we can unserialize the same transaction with different fFromMe flags (as differing chars) and evaluate the following section in wallet/wallet.cpp
```c++
if (wtxIn.fFromMe && wtxIn.fFromMe != wtx.fFromMe)
{
wtx.fFromMe = wtxIn.fFromMe;
fUpdated = true;
}
```
incorrectly (triggering an fUpdated where both fFromMe values represent true, via different chars).
I don't think this is a vulnerability, but it's just a little messy and unsemantic, and could lead to issues with stored wtxIns not being findable in a map by their hash.
The serialize/unserialize code for bool internally uses a char, so it should be safe to make this substitution.
NOTE: Technically, this is a behavior change -- I haven't checked too closely that nowhere is depending on storing information in this char. Theoretically, this could break something because after this change a tx unserialized with such a char would preserve it's value, but now it is converted to a ~true~ canonical bool.

What is Dash?
Dash is an experimental digital currency that enables instant, private payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Dash uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Dash Core is the name of the open source software which enables the use of this currency.
Pre-Built Binary
For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the Dash Core software, see https://www.dash.org/downloads/.
License
Dash Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is meant to be stable. Development is normally done in separate branches.
Tags are created to indicate new official,
stable release versions of Dash Core.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python, that are run automatically on the build server.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Dash Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
Translators should also follow the forum.
