Previously, the undo weren't being flushed during a reindex because
fKnown was set to true in FindBlockPos. That is the correct behaviour
for block files as they aren't being touched, but undo files are
touched.

This changes the behaviour to always flush when switching to a new file
(even for block files, though that isn't really necessary).

…me constraints

Transactions are not allowed in the memory pool or selected for inclusion in a block until their lock times exceed chainActive.Tip()->GetMedianTimePast(). However blocks including transactions which are only mature under the old rules are still accepted; this is *not* the soft-fork required to actually rely on the new constraint in production.

…t for lock-time calculations

The lock-time code currently uses CBlock::nTime as the cutoff point for time based locked transactions. This has the unfortunate outcome of creating a perverse incentive for miners to lie about the time of a block in order to collect more fees by including transactions that by wall clock determination have not yet matured. By using CBlockIndex::GetMedianTimePast from the prior block instead, the self-interested miner no longer gains from generating blocks with fraudulent timestamps. Users can compensate for this change by simply adding an hour (3600 seconds) to their time-based lock times.

If enforced, this would be a soft-fork change. This commit only adds the functionality on an unexecuted code path, without changing the behaviour of Bitcoin Core.

Also clarify startup message.

Nagle appears to be a significant contributor to latency now that the static
 sleeps are gone.  Most of our messages are relatively large compared to
 IP + TCP so I do not expect this to create enormous overhead.

This may also reduce traffic burstyness somewhat.

This passes `-Wa,--noexecstack` to the assembler when building
platform-specific assembly files, to signal that a non-executable stack
can be used. This is the same approach as used by Debian
(see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=430583)

Prevent these warnings in clang 3.6:

    ./serialize.h:96:9: warning: explicitly assigning value of variable of type 'uint64_t' (aka 'unsigned long') to itself [-Wself-assign]
        obj = (obj);

…net-in-a-box use case)

bitcoin-cli (in contrast to bitcoin-tx, which does signing ops)
shouldn't need secp256k1, and indeed it doesn't.

Five boost libs plus libcrypto are needed; I don't think that quite passes for minimal.

Reverts the change putting it in the bitcoind deb.

Currently left out of Matt's PPA.  Debian's package for unstable already has it.
