The unit tests testing base58 encoding were using univalue JSON
parsing, since we deprecatd univalue to be a hub-private lib
this has now been ported to Qts JSON parser.
Which also makes the clunky cmake hack nice to replace with the
QRC files concept.
As I was in there anyway, the base58 methods being global scope
C-style methods has now been fixed by putting them in a namespace.
As this is not actually used outside of the Hub, it really makes
more sense to make this testing part of the hub testing.
Also makes it easier to compile.
These are technically static libs, but not in any way shared libs.
They are used solely only by this repo and really only by the hub.
Most important, no header files are installed and basically none of
the normal rules for reusable libraries are applied to these files.
Flowee experimented with a 'metablock' a piece of data stored next to
the blocks with some metadata it discovered during validation.
One of those pieces of info is the txid, which turned out to be too big
to store here (16GB or so added).
This change removes the txid but it does keep the script-flags and the
fees for each transaction (8 bytes per tx) which adds maybe 3GB to the
entire chain.
