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.

This adds a READWRITEAS(type, obj) macro which serializes obj as if it
were casted to (const type&) when const, and to (type&) when non-const.
This makes it usable in serialization code that uses a single
implementation for both serialization and deserializing, which doesn't
know the constness of the object involved.
9ad6746ccd Use static_cast instead of C-style casts for non-fundamental types (practicalswift)
Pull request description:
A C-style cast is equivalent to try casting in the following order:
1. `const_cast(...)`
2. `static_cast(...)`
3. `const_cast(static_cast(...))`
4. `reinterpret_cast(...)`
5. `const_cast(reinterpret_cast(...))`
By using `static_cast<T>(...)` explicitly we avoid the possibility of an unintentional and dangerous `reinterpret_cast`. Furthermore `static_cast<T>(...)` allows for easier grepping of casts.
For a more thorough discussion, see ["ES.49: If you must use a cast, use a named cast"](https://isocpp.github.io/CppCoreGuidelines/CppCoreGuidelines#es49-if-you-must-use-a-cast-use-a-named-cast) in the C++ Core Guidelines (Stroustrup & Sutter).

Some people keep thinking that MAX_BLOCK_BASE_SIZE is a separate
size limit from the weight limit when it fact it is superfluous,
and used in early tests before the witness data has been
validated or just to compute worst case sizes. The size checks
that use it would not behave any differently consensus wise
if they were eliminated completely.
Its correct value is not independently settable but is a function
of the weight limit and weight formula.
This patch just eliminates it and uses the scale factor as
required to compute the worse case constants.
It also moves the weight factor out of primitives into consensus,
which is a more logical place for it.
Remove the nType and nVersion as parameters to all serialization methods
and functions. There is only one place where it's read and has an impact
(in CAddress), and even there it does not impact any of the recursively
invoked serializers.
Instead, the few places that need nType or nVersion are changed to read
it directly from the stream object, through GetType() and GetVersion()
methods which are added to all stream classes.
This switches the Merkle tree logic for blocks to one that runs in constant (small) space.
The old code is moved to tests, and a new test is added that for various combinations of
block sizes, transaction positions to compute a branch for, and mutations:
* Verifies that the old code and new code agree for the Merkle root.
* Verifies that the old code and new code agree for the Merkle branch.
* Verifies that the computed Merkle branch is valid.
* Verifies that mutations don't change the Merkle root.
* Verifies that mutations are correctly detected.
Assume that when a wallet transaction has a valid block hash and transaction position
in it, the transaction is actually there. We're already trusting wallet data in a
much more fundamental way anyway.
To prevent backward compatibility issues, a new record is used for storing the
block locator in the wallet. Old wallets will see a wallet file synchronized up
to the genesis block, and rescan automatically.
