Merge #11881: Remove Python2 support
1874058 Make base58 python contrib code work with python3 (Evan Klitzke)
bc6fdf2 Change all python files to use Python3 (John Newbery)

Pull request description:

  Following discussion here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11843#issuecomment-351033742

  It's easier for maintainers if all python tools/scripts support only a single version of Python. There are only a few scripts that aren't explicitly python3 at this point, so this PR changes those remaining scripts to explicitly require python3.

Dash Core version 0.16.1.1
==========================
Release is now available from:
<https://www.dash.org/downloads/#wallets>
This is a new hotfix release.
Please report bugs using the issue tracker at github:
<https://github.com/dashpay/dash/issues>
Upgrading and downgrading
=========================
How to Upgrade
--------------
If you are running an older version, shut it down. Wait until it has completely
shut down (which might take a few minutes for older versions), then run the
installer (on Windows) or just copy over /Applications/Dash-Qt (on Mac) or
dashd/dash-qt (on Linux). If you upgrade after DIP0003 activation and you were
using version < 0.13 you will have to reindex (start with -reindex-chainstate
or -reindex) to make sure your wallet has all the new data synced. Upgrading
from version 0.13 should not require any additional actions.
When upgrading from a version prior to 0.14.0.3, the
first startup of Dash Core will run a migration process which can take a few
minutes to finish. After the migration, a downgrade to an older version is only
possible with a reindex (or reindex-chainstate).
Downgrade warning
-----------------
### Downgrade to a version < 0.14.0.3
Downgrading to a version older than 0.14.0.3 is no longer supported due to
changes in the "evodb" database format. If you need to use an older version,
you must either reindex or re-sync the whole chain.
### Downgrade of masternodes to < 0.16
Starting with this release, masternodes will verify the protocol version of other
masternodes. This will result in PoSe punishment/banning for outdated masternodes,
so downgrading is not recommended.
Notable changes
===============
There was an unexpected behaviour of the "Encrypt wallet" menu item for unencrypted wallets
which was showing users the "Decrypt wallet" dialog instead. This was a GUI only issue,
internal encryption logic and RPC behaviour were not affected.
