A function returned the element to remove from a bucket, instead of its
position in that bucket. This function was only called when a tried
bucket overflowed, which only happens after many outgoing connections
have been made.
Closes: #1065, #1156
Previously trying to create a multisig address that required less than
one signature would output something like the following:
"wrong number of keys(got 1, need at least 0)"
Rather than storing ftell(3)'s return value -- a long -- in an
unsigned int, we store and check a properly typed temp. Then, assured a
non-negative value, we store in nBlockPosRet.
In ISO C++, the signedness of 'char' is undefined. On some platforms (e.g.
ARM), 'char' is an unsigned type, but some of the code relies on 'char' being
signed (as it is on x86). This is indicated by compiler warnings like this:
bignum.h: In constructor 'CBigNum::CBigNum(char)':
bignum.h:81:59: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type [-Wtype-limits]
util.cpp: In function 'bool IsHex(const string&)':
util.cpp:427:28: warning: comparison is always false due to limited range of data type [-Wtype-limits]
In particular, IsHex erroneously returned true regardless of the input
characters, as long as the length of the string was a positive multiple of 2.
Note: For testing, it's possible using GCC to force char to be unsigned by
adding the -funsigned-char parameter to xCXXFLAGS.

Conflict:
* cs_main in ProcessMessages() (before calling ProcessMessages)
* cs_vSend in CNode::BeginMessage
versus:
* cs_vSend in ThreadMessageHandler2 (before calling SendMessages)
* cs_main in SendMessages
Even though cs_vSend is a try_lock, if it succeeds simultaneously with
the locking of cs_main in ProcessMessages(), it could cause a deadlock.
