We do not need to be able to calculate multiple SignatureHash versions for a
single transaction format; instead, we use the transaction format to determine
the SigVersion.
The consensus branch ID *does* need to be passed in from the outside, as only
the caller knows the context in which the SignatureHash is being calculated
(ie. mempool acceptance vs. block validation).
JoinSplit signature verification has been moved into ContextualCheckTransaction,
where the consensus branch ID can be obtained.
The argument to the sign command for zcash-tx has been modified to take a height
in addition to the optional sigtype flags.
Mempool improvements, branch ID awareness
Whenever the local chain tip is updated, transactions in the mempool which commit to an
unmineable branch ID (for example, just before a network upgrade activates, where the
next block will have a different branch ID) will be removed.
Includes commits cherry-picked from the following upstream PRs:
- bitcoin/bitcoin#6654
- Only the mempool index change.
- bitcoin/bitcoin#6776
- bitcoin/bitcoin#7020
- bitcoin/bitcoin#6915
Part of #2074.
Track net value entering and exiting the Sprout circuit
Delta values will be stored for new blocks; old blocks can be filled in by
re-indexing. The net value currently in the Sprout circuit is only calculated
when delta values for all previous blocks are present.
Part of #2351.

Corrections are to the median block times, which were generated by subtracting
CBlockIndex::nMedianTimeSpan / 2 from the block height and then multiplying by
the target spacing. GetMedianTimePast() takes an array sorted by std::sort() and
returns element CBlockIndex::nMedianTimeSpan / 2, meaning that if
CBlockIndex::nMedianTimeSpan is odd (which it is), there is an out-by-one error
in the subtraction.
Add ability for node to reject tx from mempool by number of tx inputs
Implement short-term solution described in #2343 so that users can respond promptly to critical short-term problems caused by quadratic validation scaling, such as the getblocktemplate latency, block propagation latency, and mempool size inflation issues described in #2333.
Switch to libsecp256k1-based validation for ECDSA
Cherry-picked from the following upstream PRs:
