Zcash address encoding
We need to encode Zcash addresses so they aren't as large and unweildy. We're using Base58Check just like upstream does, and to ensure the first character is "z" in our addresses we must use two bytes for the version string. Two bytes gives us an extra character for free, so this PR targets the beginning of addresses to have "zc".
```
$ ./src/zcash-cli zcrawkeygen
{
"zcaddress" : "tnvaj4ZbZG83tj4RwZcFeLgJoSt8nw1ZvSCG8EMyowAsXTQgJPat77Y43BVdVCrwrbLy7GG9msJDYdn5hmreHmkXAkX17hb",
"zcsecretkey" : "SKzkxCRWvscKnroSFyhCqhY332KcDMH4LLNdK2TsSvbmr3CGAB8B",
"zcviewingkey" : "10aa74046f31cbe5eaa8965d1e104853234c3d6c6e45f9c497ca3a025d159755"
}
```
This PR also encodes the spending keys with a prefix that targets "SK". The spec needs to be updated with these changes.
Testnet addresses will start with "tn".
Closes#572
Enforce that coinbases must be protected
This PR forces miners to place their funds in the private value transfer system, making "transparent coins" opt-in for users, and increasing privacy for all participants on a systemic level.
Closes#101.
Includes a tweak to set the fixed-width of the rows based on whether the first
or last round is widest. This is necessary for some parameters, these ones
included.
The main and test networks are configured to use parameters that are currently
low-memory but usable with the basic solver; they will be increased once the
solver is optimised. The regtest network is configured to have extremely low
memory usage for speed.
Note that Bitcoin's double-hasher is used for the difficulty check. This does
not match the paper, but is simpler than changing the block header
serialization. Single hashing is kept for the EquiHash solver because there is
no requirement on execution time there, only on memory usage.

This adds a -prune=N option to bitcoind, which if set to N>0 will enable block
file pruning. When pruning is enabled, block and undo files will be deleted to
try to keep total space used by those files to below the prune target (N, in
MB) specified by the user, subject to some constraints:
- The last 288 blocks on the main chain are always kept (MIN_BLOCKS_TO_KEEP),
- N must be at least 550MB (chosen as a value for the target that could
reasonably be met, with some assumptions about block sizes, orphan rates,
etc; see comment in main.h),
- No blocks are pruned until chainActive is at least 100,000 blocks long (on
mainnet; defined separately for mainnet, testnet, and regtest in chainparams
as nPruneAfterHeight).
This unsets NODE_NETWORK if pruning is enabled.
Also included is an RPC test for pruning (pruning.py).
Thanks to @rdponticelli for earlier work on this feature; this is based in
part off that work.
This adds a -checkblockindex (defaulting to true for regtest), which occasionally
does a full consistency check for mapBlockIndex, setBlockIndexCandidates, chainActive, and
mapBlocksUnlinked.
