Keep track of which block is being requested (and to be requested) from
each peer, and limit the number of blocks in-flight per peer. In addition,
detect stalled downloads, and disconnect if they persist for too long.
This means blocks are never requested twice, and should eliminate duplicate
downloads during synchronization.

This patch introduces a GUIUtil class that is used when setting up the 2 tables we have so far on the Qt-GUI.
In the past you could only resize the last column, which has BTC amounts from the right border of the column header, something that was rather unnatural.
If a new table were ever to be added to the interface, fixing the last columns resizing behavior is rather simple. Just look at how we initialize here a TableViewLastColumnResizingFixer object when setting up the table header's behavior, and then how we override the resize event of the component (can be the table, or the dialog) and we invoke columnResizingFixer->stretchColumnWidth(columnIndex);
Building the tests was giving some vague error message about a doubly-defined
symbol.
The solution is to define ShutdownRequested in test_bitcoin.cpp as well
so that init.cpp does not get pulled in.
Taught bitcoind to close the HTTP connection after it gets a 'stop' command,
to make it easier for the regression tests to cleanly stop.
Move bitcoinrpc files to correct location.
Tidied up the python-based regression tests.
Use INSTALL_DATA rather than INSTALL for copying non executable files in
OS X application bundle.
Tested by running "all appbundle" make target and trying the resulting
application bundle, host system is OS X 10.9.2 .
Prior to this change, `git status` would report untracked files of the
following sort if run during a build:
?? src/rpcprotocol.o-e628def3
These files should be explicitly ignored not only because they are a
nuisance, but given that they appear and disappear quickly, they may be
inadvertently added to the index even if one has been careful to check
for untracked files with `git status` prior to a `git add .`.
For qt5.2 on osx, the qcocoa plugin is mandatory. However, it fails to load
when qt.conf specifies the "plugin" path instead of the expected "Plugin". This
is in line with the documentation:
https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/qt-conf.html
I'm not sure how the plugins were loading before, unless the case-sensitivity
for OSX is new.
