I've never liked the chain-specific exception to having to set a
password. It gives issues with #6388 which makes it valid to
set no password in every case (as it enables random cookie authentication).
This pull removes the flag, so that all chains are regarded the same.
It also removes the username==password test, which doesn't provide any
substantial extra security.
Closes#2113. Fixes bug in test and updates testnet fr addresses.
Updating the testnet fr addresses will introduce a consensus change on testnet, so all testnet nodes will be required to upgrade. See #2113 for more information.
This is relevant to #1609 because it hid the bug, but does not fix that
issue; the fix is to regenerate the genesis blocks.

Extra parameter added to AvailableCoins to include or exclude Coinbase coins.
SelectCoins, used for sending taddr->taddr, will exclude Coinbase coins.
Added qa rpc test and a runtime parameter -regtestprotectcoinbase to enforce
the coinbase->zaddr consensus rule in regtest mode.
People seem to agree that dnsseed.* is a more intuitive address.
The original address was committed to beta1 as a result of a misunderstanding.
The DNS seeder service will be updated to coincide with at beta2 release.
The genesis blocks and miner tests have been regenerated, because changing the
block header serialisation format changes the block hash, and thus validity.
The Equihash solutions have been removed from the bloom test inputs for
simplicity (block validity is not checked there; only a valid serialisation is
necessary).
Changes:
- floor(512/n)*n/8 bytes of BLAKE2b output is split between floor(512/n)
adjacent indices, instead of using one hash call per index.
- Parameters with n/(k+1) mod 8 != 0 will expand the BLAKE2b output to byte
boundaries for colliding, instead of using a longer output and clearing bits.
- The genesis blocks have been regenerated.
- The test vectors have been regenerated.
- The Equihash inputs for the cancellation tests were modified to ensure that
valid solutions were available to exercise the full solver.
