Ignotus Peverell 38d5d67e79 Add features bitmask to Block, Output, Kernel; coinbase validation
Block, Output and Kernel now have bitmasks to hold supported
features and eventually versioning. Will make adding features and
updates easier and open the possibility of soft forks.

First added feature for Output and Kernel is the marking of coinbase
related ones. Allows the validation of the coinbase part of a block.

Ignotus Peverell dda223f25b Chain logic to support multiple forks, select the most worked fork as the head. Significantly simplified from the original direction as it doesn't seem that explicitly materializing forks is necessary. Simple total difficulty accounting in block headers helping a lot there. 2017-01-09 15:16:44 -08:00
