0205abd Improve unit test code not to compare with explanatory messages for each platform. Instead, use have an exception object to check if the string returned by what() on the raised exception matches the string returned by what() on the expected exception instance. This way, we do not need to list all different possible explanatory strings for different platforms in the test code, and make it simple. (The idea is by Cory Fields.) (Kangmo)

Before the fix, there were 6 errors such as :
serialize_tests.cpp:77: error in "noncanonical": incorrect exception std::ios_base::failure is caught
It turns out that ex.what() returns following string instead of "non-canonical ReadCompactSize()"
"non-canonical ReadCompactSize(): unspecified iostream_category error"
After the fix, unit test passed.
The test ran using Apple LLVM v5.0 on OSX 10.9 and the unit test error happened because of different error messages by different compilers.

Only messages for now, executable names and other file names
can be changed later if necessary and safe.
Do not do an all-sweeping change. Some occurences of Bitcoin-Qt need to
be kept:
- Applicationname: this is used to determine the registry entry names,
we don't want to lose settings over a silly name change.
- Where it refers to the executable name instead of the product name.

efdfee4 build: fix detection of boost libs on multi-arch distros (Cory Fields)
Running -printtodebugger -debug (or -debug=lock),
compiled with -DDEBUG_LOCKORDER would infinite loop
on Windows because every critical section lock/unlock
triggers a LogPrint.
Solution is to use the raw boost mutex instead of a CCriticalSection.
