Inserts some notes related to testnet deployment
Should satisfy #959 for now. I don't want to get too detailed here, since the infrastructure automation is in a still non-public repository, but instead supply a basic overview. We can write more detailed documentation and attach it to that repo.
Enable high-priority alerts to put the RPC into safe mode
This reverts the changes in 986b5e257e and adds a priority check.
Continuation of #1337Closes#1106
Verify TLS certificates w/ wget in fetch-params.sh
Per NCC-2016-017, wget was being run with `--no-check-certificate`, which means that the connection can be man-in-the-middled, even if we are verifying the integrity of the parameters later via hash sums.
The rationale cited in the Bash comments does not stand up to scrutiny. There's really no persuasive reason not to verify certificates.
Fixes#1346.
bdb 6.X was released under the AGPL, which is incompatible with MIT-licensed
software (the result must be licensed under AGPL). bdb 5.X uses the same license
as bdb 4.8, and thus retains the same compatibility as in upstream Bitcoin.
Thanks to Luke-Jr for raising this issue.
Add a make command for checking expected failures
With this merged, we can add gtests prefixed with `DISABLED_`, and then configure Buildbot to run those tests but not require they pass in order to merge.

These flags are potentially risky, because they require that the app explicitly
initialize stuff that it wouldn't otherwise need to initialize, and we don't
have time for the necessary review.
Improvements to fetch-params.sh
Two instances of the fetch-params.sh script running at once will result in corruption of the proving key and an error when the hashes are computed. This implements a lock to stop such a scenario from occurring.
We also terminate and don't create the symlinks if the downloaded parameters fail the checksum command.
Fixes#1306. This is the same as #1310 but now targeting master.
Fix casting error in GetFilteredNotes
Use int for minDepth like upstream instead of size_t which can lead to casting problems if a wallet tx has a depth of -1.
Also don't use FindMyNotes as mapNoteData has already been set on wallet tx.
@str4d As dicussed. This should be merged before other PRs related to wallet.
