Resolve "PoC: Automatic finalized budget submission"

Proof of concept for automatic budget finalization. Needs to be checked in testnet (to know if it even works at all)

PoC algorithm description:

  1. There is still a possibility to submit final budget manually, with a wallet configured with budgetvotemode=suggest. However, now there is an automatic option as well.
  2. Automatically submitted final budgets are submitted by masternodes
  3. Masternode will submit its budget only if it's a winning masternode (see CBudgetManager::SubmitFinalBudget)
  4. Masternode will not burn collateral CRW, instead it's required to sign the budget suggestion
  5. Having received the budget suggestion a node will check its validity. If collateral tx hash is 0, a valid signature is required (see CFinalizedBudget::IsValid)
  6. If the budget is signed by an unknown masternode, the node will ask the peer for the masternode (see CBudgetManager::ProcessMessage)

If the testing shows the viability of the algorithm, we will consider polishing the code to production-ready grade and including it in the release
