Remove dependency of base58 on OpenSSL

This removes the bignum/OpenSSL dependency.

The base58 transformation code is also moved to a separate .cpp file.

09ec3af1 AddToWallet implies BindWallet (Wladimir J. van der Laan)

Prevent socket leak in ThreadSocketHandler.

- In wallet and GUI code LOCK cs_main as well as cs_wallet when
  necessary
- In main.cpp SendMessages move the TRY_LOCK(cs_main) up, to encompass the call
  to IsInitialBlockDownload.
- Make ActivateBestChain, AddToBlockIndex, IsInitialBlockDownload,
  InitBlockIndex acquire the cs_main lock

Fixes #3997

All functions that use ChainActive but do not aquire the cs_main
lock themselves, need to be called with the cs_main lock held.

This commit adds assertions to all externally callable functions
that use chainActive or chainMostWork.

This will flag usages when built with -DDEBUG_LOCKORDER.

Push new English translation, as well as pull other translations that
changed since last month.

The patch to make it possible to configure the LXC IPs has been merged
upstream. This means that it is no longer needed to patch gitian.
Remove that workaround.

3d20cd5f VERSION obtained from source instead of the previous git tag. (Warren Togami)

Drawback: The version string is no longer a valid git identifier.
          For this reason the 'g' short hash prefix has been removed.

Exception: When building directly from a tag this behaves exactly like the previous behavior.
           This allows formatting release versions with precision     i.e. v0.9.2
           This also allows arbitrary topicbranch names               i.e. v0.9.1-glibc-compat

Got too many complaints that is was unserious and written by trolls.
I have also removed the translation from transifex.
Fixes #4054 and #3918.

Cleaner and easier to read.

8414cb04 Doxygen-compatible comments in coding style (Wladimir J. van der Laan)

Using "./configure --enable-glibc-back-compat" will attempt to be
compatible with a target running glibc abi 2.9 and libstdc++ abi 3.4.

glibc/libstdc++ have added new symbols in later releases. When running a new
binary against an older glibc, the run-time linker is unable to resolve the
new symbols and the binary refuses to run.

This can be fixed by adding our own versions of those functions, so that the
build-time linker does not emit undefined symbols for them.

This enables our binary releases to work on older Linux distros, while not
incurring the downsides of a fully static binary.

219b512d doc: update expected intermediate dependency hashes (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
25d4911e gitian: upgrade miniupnpc input to 1.9 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)

When we are over our outbound limit ThreadSocketHandler would try to
 keep the connection if the peer was addnoded.

This didn't actually work for two reasons: It didn't actually run
 the accept code due to mistaken code flow, and because we have a
 limited number of outbound semaphores it couldn't actually use the
 connection.

Instead it leaked the socket, which might have caused issue #4034.

This patch just takes out the non-functioning white-listing for now.

f3f2cb73 doc: remove versions from build-unix.md, just refer to release-process.md (Wladimir J. van der Laan)

Also move them to release-process.md from gitian-building.md for more

Bumps deps-linux, deps-win dependency versions as well.

qt-win does not need to be bumped, as although it depends on deps-win,
Qt doesn't use miniupnp. I verified this by rebuilding the dependency
and checking the the output is the same. Not having to rebuild Qt is a
good thing as it is huge.

No one bothers to keep this up to date.
Better to refer to another file than give wrong information.
