This means that for apps like 'pos' no longer link against libSSL
The streams no longer zero-after-free, there are no secrets transported
in datastreams so this is useless and avoids linking in one OpenSSL
call.
The insecure_rand() method depended on the openssl code to seed it with
randomness. Now replaced with a proven current-time-milliseconds.
This is enough in those cases because it was always meant to be an
insecure random.
Move some globals and all stuff pulling in crypto to the
server/serverutil.cpp file
Remove dead code.
Move several items that were used in only one place to the respective
files using them.
Move the class WaitUntilFinishedHelper into its own file.
Made sure no header includes utils.h
remove a handfull of files including utils.h for nothing.
* user selected nodes (using -connect=) are whitelisted, which allows
them to get your headers even if you are still in initial download.
* Avoid crash in a starting node in isInInitialDownload when
pIndexBestHeader was still null.
The "UAHF" one used to be "more equal", mostly just because it happened
to be the first.
This makes them all equally equal.
Specifically this removes the special casing and the enum for the 201708
HF (aka BCH fork-point).
We select the right branch now purely based on the historical check-
points.
During the BCH fork-off time we allowed the client to be started
as either BCH or BTC and as such there are several code-paths
that behave different based on this user setting.
We remove those as we no longer allow starting as BTC client.
This also removes the check for the min-block-size (rollback protection)
as this is accomplished by the checkpoints on the BCH chain.
Remove no longer useful options;
* chain (sorry, supporting the btc chain just doesn't seem worth it)
* initiatecashconnections, we only allow Cash connections now.
* flexiblehandshake, same for incoming. Reject non-cash ones.
