Boost assumes variadic templates are always available in GCC 4.4+, but
they aren't since we don't build with -std=c++11.
This applies the patch that fixed the issue in boost 1.57:

"brew install berkeley-db4" appears to be working again. simplified instructions by removing the berkeley-db4 workaround.

Some boost versions have a conflicting overload of wait_until that returns void.
Explicitly use a template here to avoid hitting that overload.

The partition checking code was using chainActive timestamps
to detect partitioning; with headers-first syncing, it should use
(and with this pull request, does use) pIndexBestHeader timestamps.

Make it possible to opt-out of the centralized alert system by providing
an option `-noalerts` or `-alerts=0`. The default remains unchanged.
This is a gentler form of #6260, in which I went a bit overboard by
removing the alert system completely.
I intend to add this to the GUI options in another pull after this.

Rather than fetching a signature.tar.gz from somewhere on the net, instruct
Gitian to use a signature from a tag in the bitcoin-detached-sigs repository
which corresponds to the tag of the release being built.
This changes detached-sig-apply.sh to take a dirname rather than a tarball as
an argument, though detached-sig-create.sh still outputs a tarball for
convenience.

Chance "getbalance *" not to use IsTrusted. The method and result
now match the "getbalance <specific-account>" behavior. In
particular, "getbalance * 0" now works.
Also fixed a comment -- GetGalance has required 1 confirmation
for many years, and the default "getbalance *" behavior matches
that.

In some corner cases, it may be possible for recent blocks to end up in
the same block file as much older blocks. Previously, the pruning code
would stop looking for files to remove upon first encountering a file
containing a block that cannot be pruned, now it will keep looking for
candidate files until the target is met and all other criteria are
satisfied.
This can result in a noncontiguous set of block files (by number) on
disk, which is fine except for during some reindex corner cases, so
make reindex preparation smarter such that we keep the data we can
actually use and throw away the rest. This allows pruning to work
correctly while downloading any blocks needed during the reindex.

We don't want to erase orphans that still have missing inputs, they should still be tracked as orphans. Also, the transaction thats being accepted can't be an orphan otherwise it would have previously been accepted, so doesn't need to be added to the erase queue.

AcceptBlock will no longer process an unrequested block, unless it has not
been previously processed and has more work than chainActive.Tip()

Change `read_string` to fail when not the entire input has been
consumed. This avoids unexpected, even dangerous behavior (fixes#6223).
The new JSON parser adapted in #6121 also solves this problem so in
master this is a temporary fix, but should be backported to older releases.
Also adds tests for the new behavior.

Until secp256k1 is used for verification there is no reason for Bitcoin
Core's secp256k1 to link against gmp, even if available. Pass a flag to
configure to override the bignum implementation.
This fixes a crash at runtime on ppc64 reported by @gmaxwell.

Previously due to an off-by-one error the wallet ignored
nLockTime-by-height transactions that would be valid in the next block
even though they are accepted into the mempool. The transactions
wouldn't show up until confirmed, nor would they be included in the
unconfirmed balance. Similar to the mempool behavior fix in 665bdd3b,
the wallet code was calling IsFinalTx() directly without taking into
account the fact that doing so tells you if the transaction could have
been mined in the *current* block, rather than the next block.
To fix this we strip IsFinalTx() of non-consensus-critical
functionality, removing the default arguments, and add CheckFinalTx() to
check if a transaction will be final in the next block.
