Write witness caches when writing the best block
For steady-state operation, this reduces the average time between wallet disk
writes from once per block to once per hour.
On -rescan, witness caches are only written out at the end along with the best
block, increasing speed while ensuring that on-disk state is kept consistent.
Witness caches are now never recreated during a -reindex, on the assumption that
the blocks themselves are not changing (the chain is just being reconstructed),
and so the witnesses will remain valid.

Isolate verification to a ProofVerifier context object that allows verification behavior to be tuned by the caller.
This is an alternative foundation for #1892, i.e., #1892 will have to be changed if this PR is accepted.
I think this is a safer approach because it allows us to isolate verification behavior to a single object. This will come in handy when @arielgabizon finishes the batching code.

Commit 2eeb6b randomized the order of input and output notes,
but this is now known to prevent the chaining of multiple joinsplits
in a single transaction. The root cause has yet to be determined.
This patch is a temporary fix and disables the shuffling of input
and output notes. It also adds a chained joinsplit test to the
python qa test suite.
Add z_sendmany rule that when coinbase utxos must be spent in their entirety, with no change
See #1616 - coinbase utxos must be consumed entirely, without any change, since there
is currently no way to specify a change address in z_sendmany.
Fix issue where z_sendmany amount parameter is too strict
Upstream treats an amount parameter of `1` the same as `1.0`. Third-party would like this fixed.
