To determine the default for `-par`, the number of script verification
threads, use [boost::thread::physical_concurrency()](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_58_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html#thread.thread_management.thread.physical_concurrency)
which counts only physical cores, not virtual cores.
Virtual cores are roughly a set of cached registers to avoid context
switches while threading, they cannot actually perform work, so spawning
a verification thread for them could even reduce efficiency and will put
undue load on the system.
Should fix issue #6358, as well as some other reported system overload
issues, especially on Intel processors.
The function was only introduced in boost 1.56, so provide a utility
function `GetNumCores` to fall back for older Boost versions.
Add message directing users to security guide
Addresses #2142, which was blocking on updates to zcash/support/security.html. That page has now been added, so this message directing users to the site can be included.
It displays in the zcash-cli --help and --version message text, and on the zcashd metrics screen.
Prevents stomping on debug logs in datadirs that are locked by other
instances and lost parameter interaction messages that can get wiped by
ShrinkDebugFile().
The log is now opened explicitly and all emitted messages are buffered
until this open occurs. The version message and log cut have also been
moved to the earliest possible sensible location.
Closes#1097 so that zcash-cli displays license info like zcashd.
LicenseInfo is refactored from init.cpp to util.cpp so that the
bitcoin-cli makefile target does not need to be modified.
Previously the RPC interface allowed z_exportwallet, backupwallet and
dumpwallet to write data to an arbitrary filename. ZCA-009 demonstrates
how this is vulnerable. The resolution is to only allow data to
written when the -exportdir has been configured. Also filenames are
restricted to alphanumeric characters.
Most people expect a value of 1 to enable all for command line arguments.
However to do this for the -debug option you must type "-debug=".
This has been changed to allow "-debug=1" as well as "-debug=" to
enable all debug logging

The scope of `std::locale::global` appears to be smaller than `setenv("LC_ALL", ...)` and insufficient to fix messed up locale settings for the whole application.

Always make a pid file, not only when `-daemon` specified.
This is useful for troubleshooting, for attaching debuggers and loggers
and such.
- Write the pid file only after the datadir lock was acquired
- Don't create or remove a pid file on WIN32, and also don't show the option
Flushing after every line when printing to console is desirable when
running with systemd but setvbuf() has slightly different semantics
on Windows that causes warnings. Just do an explicit fflush() after
each line print to console instead.
