BIP109: BIP102 variation for a 2mb block size bump

[gavinandresen]

Thanks to @luke-jr for promptly assigning a BIP number.

This was discussed on the bitcoin-dev mailing list, but that discussion went sideways fairly quickly (as do all discussions about hard forks, it seems). It is implemented in Bitcoin Classic.

Fixed the malformed author line. Removed a troll-ish comment that is not appropriate for the BIPs repository.

Needs a Copyright section according to BIP1

@luke-jr : I think the force-push-update confused the travis syntax tester doo-hickey. Let me know if I need to fix something, or if that script needs to be fixed.

[luke-jr]

@gavinandresen I believe the problem is the README.mediawiki title for the BIP doesn't match the actual BIP Title header.

@btcdrak I agree with @gavinandresen that your comment was not appropriate for the BIPs repository, I don't think he did anything inappropriate by deleting it, and I wouldn't have a problem with him deleting your repost of it in the form of an archive.is link.

This repository exists to provide information to the community about situations that affect multiple implementations. Anyone who usefully contributes to this body of knowledge is to be thanked, not yelled at for something they previously did or did not do.

@luke-jr that was exactly the problem. It'd be awesome if the travis failures were a little more user friendly (I'd volunteer to fix, but my Perl is beyond rusty).

[luke-jr]

@gavinandresen The relevant test in this case is the diff'ing. It looks for inconsistencies in README.mediawiki with the Perl-generated table (which is based on the BIP headers).
