We've chosen to htons/ntohs explicitly on reading and writing
(I do not know why). But as READWRITE already does an endian swap
on big endian, this means the port number gets switched around,
which was what we were trying to avoid in the first place. So
to make this compatible, serialize it as FLATDATA.
- Detect endian instead of stopping configure on big-endian
- Add `byteswap.h` and `endian.h` header for compatibility with
Windows and other operating systems that don't come with them
- Update `crypto/common.h` functions to use compat
endian header
This was added a while ago for testing purposes, but was never intended to be
used. Remove it until upstream libsecp256k1 decides that verification is
stable/ready.
These dialogs will be something that people occasionally open, not keep
open during their session, so just popping it up in a sensible place
is good enough. Remembering only creates potential issues, like spawning
it outside the current screen area.
On Ubuntu this causes the dialogs to be positioned in the
middle of the main dialog, so I didn't add code for that. YMMV.

32eaf8a WIN32 Seed Cleanup: Move nLastPerfmon behind win32 ifdef. Code to avoid calling Perfmon too often is only needed when perfmon is actually going to get called. This is not intended to make any functional difference in the addition of entropy to the random pool. (21E14)

For Gitian releases:
- Windows builds remain unchanged. libstdc++ was already linked statically.
- OSX builds remain unchanged. libstdc++ is tied to the SDK and not worth
messing with.
- Linux builds now statically link libstdc++.
For Travis:
- Match the previous behavior by adding --enable-reduce-exports as
necessary.
- Use static libstdc++ for the full Linux build.
Backwards-compatibility for libstdc++ is not limited to straightforward abi
changes. Symbol visibility also needs to be taken into consideration, and
that really can't be addressed simply.
Instead, just static-link libstdc++ for backwards-compat.
This is really a packager's option. While it's helpful to encourage devs to
test this option for daily builds, it's not reliable in several real-world
use-cases. Some older libstdc++ runtimes (freebsd 9, debian wheezy, for
example) fail to properly catch exceptions due to mismatched type_info.
See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19664 for more info.
Split GetNextWorkRequired() into two functions to allow the difficulty calculations to
be tested without requiring a full blockchain.
Add unit tests to cover basic difficulty calculation, plus each of the min/max actual
time, and maximum difficulty target conditions.
