Many changes:
* Do not use 'getblocks', but 'getheaders', and use it to build a headers tree.
* Blocks are fetched in parallel from all available outbound peers, using a
limited moving window. When one peer stalls the movement of the window, it is
disconnected.
* No more orphan blocks. At all. We only ever request a block for which we have
verified the headers, and store it to disk immediately. This means that a
disk-fill attack would require PoW.
* Require protocol version 31800 for every peer (released in december 2010).
* No more syncnode (we sync from everyone we can, though limited to 1 during
initial *headers* sync).
* Introduce some extra named constants, comments and asserts.
- also fixes indentation in one file (auto fixed by Qt Designer)
- removes several default parameters, which are not needed in the files
- related to #4840 (but not intended as fix for a no-bug)
- ensure normal and watch-only stuff looks consistent
- simplify UI by removing unneeded UI layout elements
- change some comments to watch-only from watchonly
- remove starting height as table header and replace with ping time
- remove columnResizingFixer
- add local address (if available) in detailed node view (on top of the
right view below the remote address)
- remove some .c_str() by using QString::fromStdString()
- rename Address to Address/Hostname
- rename secs to just s for ping time
- use MODEL_UPDATE_DELAY from guiconstants.h for the peer refresh time
- make PeerTableModel::columnCount() return no hard-coded value
- remove and cleanup dup private: section in RPCConsole header
- add new defaults for column sizes
- remove behaviour which keeps disconnected peers selected and also remove
code which keeps track of last selected peer stats
- add sync height to detail view
- add some additional NULL pointer checks for clientModel in

Adds a copyright and attribution message to the `-version` output
(the same as shown in the About dialog in the GUI).
Move the message to a function LicenseInfo in init.cpp.
- add DEFAULT_LISTEN in net.h and use in the code (shared
setting between core and GUI)
Important: This makes it obvious, that we need to re-think the
settings/options handling, as GUI settings are processed before
any parameter-interaction (which is mostly important for network
stuff) in AppInit2()!

Replaced label with text browser on About Bitcoin Core Screen
So that the links on the About screen can be clickable
Replaced html property with text property
I have now removed unnecessary html so this should make life easier for
translators and you @Diapolo :). What do you think?
The size of the window needs to change
The size of the window needs to change when you make links clickable.
Thanks for pointing that out @laanwj

Generally useless information. Only updates on connect time, not after
that. Peers can easily lie and the median filter is not effective in
preventing that.
In the past it was used for progress display in the GUI but
`CheckPoints::guessVerificationProgress` provides a better way that is now used.
It was too easy to mislead it. Peers do lie about it in practice, see issue #4065.
From the RPC, `getpeerinfo` gives the peer raw values, which are more
useful.
- introduce DEFAULT_SCRIPTCHECK_THREADS in main.h
- only show values from -"MAX_HW_THREADS" up to 16 for -par, as it
makes no sense to try to leave more "cores free" than the system
supports anyway
- use the new constant in optionsdialog and remove defaults from
.ui file
After the Qt5 switch, status icons were being cut off by 1-2px.
Also fixes some other cases where the UI is slightly off mentioned in #3800.
Fixes#3800.
- remove btc address length from address validator
- add an optional btc address check in validated line edit that defaults
to off and is used in GUIUtil::setupAddressWidget()
- an isAcceptable() check is added to validated line edit on focus out
which only kicks in, when a validator is used with that widget
- remove an isAcceptable() check from sendcoinsentry.cpp
- remove obsolete attributes from ui files, which are set by calling
GUIUtil::setupAddressWidget()
- move some more things to GUIUtil::setupAddressWidget() and remove them
from normal code e.g. placeholder text
