libzcash::PaymentAddress has been renamed to libzcash::SproutPaymentAddress,
and a new typedef boost::variant is now libzcash::PaymentAddress. Similarly
for ViewingKey and SpendingKey.
A new class InvalidEncoding is introduced as the default boost::variant
option for each address and key type; it is used during decoding instead
of boost::optional.
All address and key storage functions in the wallet have been modified to
refer specifically to the Sprout types, as they are used very precisely.
In most other cases, the more general type is leveraged as much as possible,
and we convert to the Sprout type when necessary. This will be subsequently
wrapped in, or replaced with, context-specific functions once Sapling
types are implemented.
We do not need to be able to calculate multiple SignatureHash versions for a
single transaction format; instead, we use the transaction format to determine
the SigVersion.
The consensus branch ID *does* need to be passed in from the outside, as only
the caller knows the context in which the SignatureHash is being calculated
(ie. mempool acceptance vs. block validation).
JoinSplit signature verification has been moved into ContextualCheckTransaction,
where the consensus branch ID can be obtained.
The argument to the sign command for zcash-tx has been modified to take a height
in addition to the optional sigtype flags.
