Adds back Namecoin's createauxblock and submitauxblock rpc methods
to allow easier integration for mining pools that wish to reuse
existing implementations of Namecoin/Bitcoin merge mining.
Cherry-picked from: michilumin@1c5b9b33
Changes post-pick:
- Fixed issue with erroneously moved LOCK in getauxblock
- Disabled mining of witness tx as done for getauxblock
- Fixed indentation, increasing readability and fixing warnings
- Follow Dogecoin API for "target" instead of "_target"
- Remove personal comments
* Make most of the RPC tests pass
* Add AUXPoW rpc tests
- Tests the auxpow rpc interface `getauxblock`
- Tests consensus constraints for auxpow:
- Minimum block height
- Valid scrypt proof of work
- Foreign chain ID
* Modify chain consensus parameters to be height aware
* Correct implementation of simplified rewards in parameters
* Correct max money
* Use base block version in IsSuperMajority() instead of full version
* Correct mining of blocks in AuxPoW tests
* Add in missing pre-AuxPoW consensus checks
Changes are as below:
Wrap CBlockHeader::nVersion into a new class (CBlockVersion). This allows to take care of interpreting the field into a base version, auxpow flag and the chain ID.
Update getauxblock.py for new 'generate' RPC call.
Add 'auxpow' to block JSON.
Accept auxpow as PoW verification.
Add unit tests for auxpow verification.
Add check for memory-layout of CBlockVersion.
Weaken auxpow chain ID checks for the testnet.
Allow Params() to overrule when to check the auxpow chain ID and for legacy blocks. Use this to disable the checks on testnet.
Introduce CPureBlockHeader.
Split the block header part that is used by auxpow and the "real" block header (that uses auxpow) to resolve the cyclic dependency between the two.
Differentiate between uint256 and arith_uint256.
This change was done upstream, modify the auxpow code.
Add missing lock in auxpow_tests.
Fix REST header check for auxpow headers.
Those can be longer, thus take that into account. Also perform the check actually on an auxpow header.
Correctly set the coinbase for getauxblock results.
Call IncrementExtraNonce in getauxblock so that the coinbase is actually initialised with the stuff it should be. (BIP30 block height and COINBASE_FLAGS.)
Implement getauxblock plus regression test.
Turn auxpow test into FIXTURE test.
This allows using of the Params() calls.
Move CMerkleTx code to auxpow.cpp.
Otherwise we get linker errors when building without wallet.
Fix rebase with BIP66.
Update the code to handle BIP66's nVersion=3.
Enforce that auxpow parent blocks have no auxpow block version.
This is for compatibility with namecoind. See also https://github.com/namecoin/namecoin/pull/199.
Move auxpow-related parameters to Consensus::Params.
There is no point in even hashing a submitted block which doesn't have
a coinbase transaction.
This also results in more useful error reporting on corrupted input.
Thanks to rawodb for the bug report.

Segwit's version bit will be signalled for all invocations of CreateNewBlock,
and not specifying segwit only will cause CreateNewBlock to skip transactions
with witness from being selected.
