Since unspendable outputs can't be spent, there is no threshold at which it would be uneconomic to spend them.
This primarily targets transaction outputs with `OP_RETURN`.

Changes:
- cherry-picked on top of bitcoin:master
- added RPC test for fundrawtransaction
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.
Commit 2eeb6b randomized the order of input and output notes,
but this is now known to prevent the chaining of multiple joinsplits
in a single transaction. The root cause has yet to be determined.
This patch is a temporary fix and disables the shuffling of input
and output notes. It also adds a chained joinsplit test to the
python qa test suite.
This also corrects a rule about admitting large orphan transactions into the mempool, to account for v2-specific fields.

The genesis blocks and miner tests have been regenerated, because changing the
block header serialisation format changes the block hash, and thus validity.
The Equihash solutions have been removed from the bloom test inputs for
simplicity (block validity is not checked there; only a valid serialisation is
necessary).
When pulling from upstream we are now forced to examine GetHash() usage
and replace with GetSerializeHash() if the caller wants a double SHA256
hash, or with GetTxid() if the caller wants a transaction id.
This field has no defined semantics. While it was added as a result of
discussions about merged mining in #724, this field will not necessarily ever be
used for that purpose.
