Fixes for gcc 7
This fixes a few issues when using a newer compiler (in my case gcc 7.1.1) available in for example Arch Linux.
Solves for example this issue: https://github.com/zcash/zcash/issues/2304
The first thing is an error when checking for boost_system and is solved by disabling that warning (wich is treated as an error and, hence, stops the build):
```
configure:22242: checking for exit in -lboost_system-mt
configure:22267: g++ -m64 -o conftest -std=c++11 -pipe -fPIC -O1 -fwrapv -fno-strict-aliasing -Werror -g -Wformat -Wformat-security -Wstack-protector -fstack-protector-all -fPIE ..<snip>... /x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/share/../lib conftest.cpp -lboost_system-mt -lanl >&5
conftest.cpp:70:6: error: declaration of 'char exit()' conflicts with built-in declaration 'void exit(int)' [-Werror=builtin-declaration-mismatch]
char exit ();
^~~~
cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors
```
The second thing was to clean some code that is deprecated in C++11 which also lead to a warning treated as error. It could also be fixed with `-Wno-deprecated` but better to fix the issue in my opinion.
--nocleanup is sufficient to leave the data directories behind. --noshutdown is
only useful if you want to inspect the nodes afterwards, and you'd need to
manually shut down both nodes before copying the data directories.
Fix deprecation policy comment.
Thanks to @daira for spotting this and suggesting the correct policy.
Feel free to adjust wording, this is primarily to track the issue and suggest a potential fix.
Ansible works with Python 2.6 and 2.7, but Buildbot requires 2.7. Both have
at least preliminary Python 3 support, but until our RPC tests are migrated to
Python 3, we need to use Python 2 for testing, and so this requirement stands.
Previously various user-facing strings have used inconsistent currency units "BTC",
"btc" and "bitcoins". This adds a single constant and uses it for each reference to
the currency unit.
Also adds a description of the unit for --maxtxfee, and adds the missing "amount"
field description to the (deprecated) move RPC command.
When using std::thread in place of boost::thread, letting the threads destruct
results in a std::terminate. According to the docs, the same thing should be
be happening in later boost versions:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/doc/html/thread/thread_management.html#thread.thread_management.thread.destructor
I'm unsure why this hasn't blown up already, but explicitly detaching can't
hurt.
Zcash: cherry-picked from commit d3773ca9aeb0d2f12dc0c5a0726778050c8cb455
This fixes#2554 (zcash-cli stop during getblocktemplate long poll
causes 'Assertion `!pthread_mutex_unlock(&m)' failed.')
This continues/fixes #6719.
`event_base_loopbreak` was not doing what I expected it to, at least in
libevent 2.0.21.
What I expected was that it sets a timeout, given that no other pending
events it would exit in N seconds. However, what it does was delay the
event loop exit with 10 seconds, even if nothing is pending.
Solve it in a different way: give the event loop thread time to exit
out of itself, and if it doesn't, send loopbreak.
This speeds up the RPC tests a lot, each exit incurred a 10 second
overhead, with this change there should be no shutdown overhead in the
common case and up to two seconds if the event loop is blocking.
As a bonus this breaks dependency on boost::thread_group, as the HTTP
server minds its own offspring.

This makes sure that the event loop eventually terminates, even if an
event (like an open timeout, or a hanging connection) happens to be
holding it up.

Add a WaitExit() call to http's WorkQueue to make it delete the work
queue only when all worker threads stopped.
This fixes a problem that was reproducable by pressing Ctrl-C during
AppInit2:
```
/usr/include/boost/thread/pthread/condition_variable_fwd.hpp:81: boost::condition_variable::~condition_variable(): Assertion `!ret' failed.
/usr/include/boost/thread/pthread/mutex.hpp:108: boost::mutex::~mutex(): Assertion `!posix::pthread_mutex_destroy(&m)' failed.
```
I was assuming that `threadGroup->join_all();` would always have been
called when entering the Shutdown(). However this is not the case in
bitcoind's AppInit2-non-zero-exit case "was left out intentionally
here".
