The environment is prepared by the main thread to guard against invalid locale settings and to prevent deinitialization issues of Boost path, which can result in app crashes.
The scope of `std::locale::global` appears to be smaller than `setenv("LC_ALL", ...)` and insufficient to fix messed up locale settings for the whole application.
Some tests in CheckBlockIndex require chainActive.Tip(), but when reindexing, chainActive has not been set on the first call to CheckBlockIndex.
reindex.py starts a node, mines 3 blocks, stops, and reindexes with CheckBlockIndex enabled.

This fixes a subtle bug involving block re-orgs and non-standard transactions.
Start with a block containing a non-standard transaction, and
one or more transactions spending it in the memory pool.
Then re-org away from that block to another chain that does
not contain the non-standard transaction.
Result before this fix: the dependent transactions get stuck
in the mempool without their parent, putting the mempool
in an inconsistent state.
Tested with a new unit test (adapted for 0.10).

To give the torrents (which use web seeds) better names, we updated the
URL scheme on bitcoin.org/bin. This updates the release notes and
release doc accordingly, plus updates some other details based on recent
changes to the site.
[skip ci]
Give each address a single fixed location in the new and tried tables,
which become simple fixed-size arrays instead of sets and vectors.
This prevents attackers from having an advantages by inserting an
address multiple times.
This change was suggested as Countermeasure 1 in
Eclipse Attacks on Bitcoin’s Peer-to-Peer Network, Ethan Heilman,
Alison Kendler, Aviv Zohar, Sharon Goldberg. ePrint Archive Report

It is also more efficient.

This adds a -checkblockindex (defaulting to true for regtest), which occasionally
does a full consistency check for mapBlockIndex, setBlockIndexCandidates, chainActive, and
mapBlocksUnlinked.
The path locale is lazy initialized and to avoid deinitialization errors
in multithreading environments, it is set explicitly by the main thread.

When re-indexing, there are a few cases where garbage data may be skipped in
the block files. In these cases, the indices are correctly written to the index
db, however the pointer to the next position for writing in the current block
file is calculated by adding the sizes of the valid blocks found.
As a result, when the re-index is finished, the index db is correct for all
existing blocks, but the next block will be written to an incorrect offset,
likely overwriting existing blocks.
Rather than using the sum of all valid blocks to determine the next write
position, use the end of the last block written to the file. Don't assume that
the current block is the last one in the file, since they may be read
out-of-order.

The only time when a client sends a "getaddr" message is when he
esatblishes an Outbound connection (see ProcessMessage() in
src/main.cpp). Another bitcoin client is expected to receive a
"getaddr" message only on Inbound connection. Ignoring "gettaddr"
requests on Outbound connections can resolve potential privacy issues
(and as was said such request normally do not happen anyway).

With headers-first we can compare against the best header timestamp, rather
than using checkpoints which require code updates to maintain.

Normally bitcoin core does not display any network originated strings without
sanitizing or hex encoding. This wasn't done for strcommand in many places.
This could be used to play havoc with a terminal displaying the logs,
especially with printtoconsole in use.
Thanks to Evil-Knievel for reporting this issue.

This fixes a potential race condition in the CCheckQueueControl constructor,
which was looking directly at data in CCheckQueue without acquiring its lock.

Since permissions and timestamps are changed for the sake of determinism,
. must not be added to the archive. Otherwise, tar may try to modify pwd when
extracting.
