* Adding ability to serialise parts of the header, pre-nonce and post-nonce
* Some test integration of queueing functions in cuckoo-miner
* more cuckoo-miner async mode integration, now more or less working
* integrating async miner workflow
* rocksdb update
* u64 internal difficulty representation, and integration of latest Cuckoo-miner API
* change to cuckoo-miner notify function
* Issue in testing, and if use_async value is None in grin.toml
* making async mode explicit in tests - 2
* fiddle with port numbers for CI
* update tag to ensure cuckoo-miner build doesn't fail on windows
* change the order in which tests are run
* Adding cuckoo-miner into grin as a proper dependency now
* Defaulting to using cuckoo-miner
* Updates to tests to use cuckoo_miner by default, (using cuckoo16)
* Refactoring to allow for different miner implementations. Added conditional support for compiling and loading the cuckoo-miner plugin project.
* Small changes to experimentally integrate with cuckoo-miner and compatibility with latest version of cuckoo-miner.
* Turning off inclusion of cuckoo_miner by default
* Disabling simulate_parallel_mining test for now
* Beginning to add a POW description, and some minor changes to mining testing, addition of further debug information to mining output.
* Many additions to create first draft of POW documentation
* Fixes to difficult adjustments by adding a MINIMUM_DIFFICULTY consensus value. Otherwise never adjusted above 1 due to flooring.
Integrate the new difficulty calculation into the block chain
validation, the miner and tests. As the difficulty calculation
doesn't use varying Cuckoo sizes anymore and we narrowed down
reasonable final Cuckoo Cycle parameters, removed all Cuckoo
Cycle sizes from block headers.
Formalized easier Cuckoo Cycle sizes for testing (and possibly
testnet) by introducing a test mode in configuration. Updated
all tests.
* core: cleanup slicing impls for Hash
* core: clean up Readable trait, implement Readable/Writeable for various integers
* core: change Hash debug output to hex
* core: correct warnings in all modules
