Notable changes

• Added a z_converttex RPC method to support conversion of transparent p2pkh addresses to the ZIP 320 (TEX) format.

• zcashd will now disconnect from a peer on receipt of a malformed version message, and also will reject duplicate verack messages from outbound connections. See https://github.com/zcash/zcash/pull/6781 for additional details.

Changelog

Daira-Emma Hopwood (4): Remove code that is definitely dead, because pfrom->nVersion must be >= MIN_PEER_PROTO_VERSION (170100) at this point. Fix some issues with handling of version messages: * fields were deserialized into variables of platform-dependent length; * pfrom->nVersion was set even if it does not meet the minimum version requirements; * make sure that pfrom->nTimeOffset is set before pfrom->fSuccessfullyConnected. Treat a malformed version message as cause for disconnection. Reject duplicate verack.
