The CAmount name is not helpful as its just an int64_t and not a
class, like the name implies. There were a handful of places where
it was passed in as const-ref, as a good example of this actually
creating sub-par code.
The new UnspentOutputDatabase classes are only very loosly a database, we
purely register and store unspent outputs there. But unline a DB we don't
allow modification (just insert and delete).
This replaces the coin-db (which was based on leveldb) and as first goal
this gives us a higher level of stability. The level-database was known
to give corruption issues.
Notice that users will need to do a manual reindex on first update.
