Address @str4d's comment on #1965 about the case where -gen is not set
https://github.com/zcash/zcash/pull/1965#discussion_r100414069
Note that the case of calling the ``setgenerate true`` RPC with the wallet disabled was already handled correctly.

Moves the call Initialize() from init.cpp to CreateWithArguments() and handles the
return value. Moves the call Shutdown() from init.cpp to destructor.
Changes Initialize() and Shutdown() to protected members.
Continues Johnathan Corgan's work.

Closes#1097 so that zcash-cli displays license info like zcashd.
LicenseInfo is refactored from init.cpp to util.cpp so that the
bitcoin-cli makefile target does not need to be modified.
Previously the RPC interface allowed z_exportwallet, backupwallet and
dumpwallet to write data to an arbitrary filename. ZCA-009 demonstrates
how this is vulnerable. The resolution is to only allow data to
written when the -exportdir has been configured. Also filenames are
restricted to alphanumeric characters.
Write witness caches when writing the best block
For steady-state operation, this reduces the average time between wallet disk
writes from once per block to once per hour.
On -rescan, witness caches are only written out at the end along with the best
block, increasing speed while ensuring that on-disk state is kept consistent.
Witness caches are now never recreated during a -reindex, on the assumption that
the blocks themselves are not changing (the chain is just being reconstructed),
and so the witnesses will remain valid.
Part of #1749.

Process verification keys to perform online verification
Checking proofs involves some arithmetic with pairings using components of the proof and the verification key. If you already have some curve points, like those in the verification key, you can amortize the cost of some of the more expensive arithmetic.
This PR adopts libsnark's precomputation of G2 elements in the verification key.
We *currently* call `r1cs_ppzksnark_verifier_strong_IC`:
```c++
template<typename ppT>
bool r1cs_ppzksnark_verifier_strong_IC(const r1cs_ppzksnark_verification_key<ppT> &vk,
const r1cs_ppzksnark_primary_input<ppT> &primary_input,
const r1cs_ppzksnark_proof<ppT> &proof)
{
enter_block("Call to r1cs_ppzksnark_verifier_strong_IC");
r1cs_ppzksnark_processed_verification_key<ppT> pvk = r1cs_ppzksnark_verifier_process_vk<ppT>(vk);
bool result = r1cs_ppzksnark_online_verifier_strong_IC<ppT>(pvk, primary_input, proof);
leave_block("Call to r1cs_ppzksnark_verifier_strong_IC");
return result;
}
```
Notice that this merely performs precomputation of the verification key, and then calls `r1cs_ppzksnark_online_verifier_strong_IC`. This PR merely performs the precomputation during verification key initialization, and calls that function directly.

Created in the ceremony this weekend! 🎉
We're writing a blog post about this, I'm going to publish the code shortly too.
