7d8a8cc Avoid launching as admin when NSIS installer ends. (JeremyRand)
Pull request description:
The Bitcoin Core NSIS script runs with elevated privileges. Unfortunately, this means that it launches Bitcoin Core itself with elevated privileges when the user chooses to launch Bitcoin Core at the end of the installation procedure. This PR works around the issue by having `explorer.exe` launch Bitcoin Core. Seems to be a similar approach to what http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ShellExecAsUser_plug-in does, but without a plugin.
I've tested this with Sysinternals Process Explorer on Windows 10 32-bit. I wouldn't expect any differences in behavior on other Windows releases, but if anyone would like to test on other Windows releases, feel free.
h/t to "UK" at https://mdb-blog.blogspot.se/2013/01/nsis-lunch-program-as-user-from-uac.html?showComment=1410158039989#c2463780017054126736 for the sample code.
Fixes#7990.

Putting the build date in the executable is a practice that has no place
in these days, now that deterministic building is increasingly common.
Continues #7732 which did this for the GUI.
The NSIS script tried to delete wxwidgets-based executables/locales. These files are ancient, and presumably no users have them anymore, so we can simplify the NSIS script by removing those lines.
Replaces the hardcoded string "bitcoin" with the autoconf variable PACKAGE_TARNAME; fixes#7265.
Places where I chose not to replace:
1. bitcoin.ico wasn't replaced because it doesn't seem to be relevant to the build system and its filename never affects the end user.
2. InstallDir wasn't replaced because the current text has an uppercase B, and I'm not sure of a good way to capitalize the result of PACKAGE_TARNAME.
3. A comment in the Main Installer section wasn't replaced because comments don't ever face the end user.
4. The registry value "URL:Bitcoin" wasn't replaced for the same reason as InstallDir.
5. Startup shortcut wasn't replaced for the same reason as InstallDir.
All other appearances of "bitcoin" were replaced with PACKAGE_TARNAME, except for the bin names, which were instead replaced with the new bin name autoconf variables.
Ubuntu 16.04 "xenial xerus" does not come with Python 2.x by default.
It is possible to install a python-2.7 package, but this has its own
problem: no `python` or `python2` symlink (see #7717).
This fixes the following scripts to work with python 3:
- `make check` (bctest,py, bitcoin-util-test.py)
- `make translate` (extract_strings_qt.py)
- `make symbols-check` (symbol-check.py)
- `make security-check` (security-check.py)
Explicitly call the python commands using $(PYTHON) instead
of relying on the interpreter line at the top of the scripts.
- Moved all seed related scripts to contrib/seeds for consistency
- Updated `makeseeds.py` to handle IPv6 and onions, fix regular
expression for recent Bitcoin Core versions
- Fixed a bug in `generate-seeds.py` with regard to IPv6 parsing
960e994 gitian: Bump cache dir for current master (Cory Fields)
be65628 gitian: bump faketime to something more recent (Cory Fields)
c3cdd7b osx: set min version to 10.7 for 0.11+ (Cory Fields)
This makes it possible for a node with `-onlynet=tor` to bootstrap
itself.
It also adds the base infrastructure for adding IPv6 seed nodes.
Also represent IPv4 fixed seed addresses in 16-byte format.
Drawback: The version string is no longer a valid git identifier.
For this reason the 'g' short hash prefix has been removed.
Exception: When building directly from a tag this behaves exactly like the previous behavior.
This allows formatting release versions with precision i.e. v0.9.2
This also allows arbitrary topicbranch names i.e. v0.9.1-glibc-compat
Don't define BUILD_DATE at all when no git version information
is available. `version.cpp` will then define it for us correctly
to the last commit date.
This has been fixed and broken many times over 0.9 history
(21cc8bd, ef1e984), please don't touch this code unless you plan
on testing all possible scenarios including gitian builds.
Fixes#3570.
Use a series of .png frames for the spinner instead of a .mng.
`mng` is an obscure image format and is not built by default into Qt5.
This appears to improve the crispness of the spinner as well.
Does not noticably increase the size (still ~27k) and the code
is not more complicated either.
- cleanup Info.plist.in and specify high DPI mode enable command as per
http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2013/04/25/retina-display-support-for-mac-os-ios-and-x11/
- move setting of QApplication::setAttribute() to bitcoin.cpp and add
attribute for enabling use of high DPI pixmaps for Qt >= 5.1
- add missing setWindowTitle() on Mac
- cleanup Mac / non-Mac setup in bitcoingui.cpp
When building from tarball (i.g. not from git source tree or when git
is not available) `genbuild.sh` write undefined $TIME to "build/build.h".
Even worse, when TIME is set in the environment then its value
is written instead of a date.
For me this change fixed FTBFS which I got because I had
TIME enviroment variable set with format for time(1) utility.
Use misc methods of avoiding unnecesary header includes.
Replace int typedefs with int##_t from stdint.h.
Replace PRI64[xdu] with PRI[xdu]64 from inttypes.h.
Normalize QT_VERSION ifs where possible.
Resolve some indirect dependencies as direct ones.
Remove extern declarations from .cpp files.
Add support for a Payment Protocol to Bitcoin-Qt.
Payment messages are protocol-buffer encoded and communicated over
http(s), so this adds a dependency on the Google protocol buffer
library, and requires Qt with OpenSSL support.
- new xpm resources for different linux window managers
- new png files for autoresizing on different linux window managers
- favicon with new logo
- window .ico with new logo
- updated debian package script
- updated changelog
Due a bug in QT (https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-21267), the mac binary of the last release contains bulk meta informations.
The url-handler (bitcoin://) is also not working in current release
Should be fixed with this commit.

Switch to using Qt's QLocalServer/QLocalSocket to handle bitcoin
payment links (bitcoin:... URIs)
Reason for switch: the boost::interprocess mechanism seemed flaky,
and doesn't mesh as well with "The Qt Way"
qtipcserver.cpp/h is replaced by paymentserver.cpp/h
Click-to-pay now also works on OSX, with a custom Info.plist
that registers Bitcoin-Qt as a handler for bitcoin: URLs and
an event listener on the main QApplication that handles
QFileOpenEvents (Qt translates 'url clicked' AppleEvents into
QFileOpenEvents automagically).
Version numbers changed from 0.7.99 to 0.8.0
Set CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE to remove pre-release warning
Updated copyright in COPYING and doc/READMEs to 2013
Updated doc/release-notes.txt
This reverts commit 199d88cf90, reversing
changes made to 65bc1573e7.
License is worse instead of better. Will only accept public domain and
MIT-licensed icons from now on.
