Pull request description:
The Consensus Cleanup soft fork proposal includes enforcing that coinbase transactions set their
nLockTime field to the block height minus 1, as well as their nSequence such as to not disable the
timelock. If such a fork were to be activated by Bitcoin users, miners need to be ready to produce
compliant blocks at the risk of losing substantial amounts mining would-be invalid blocks. As miners
are unfamously slow to upgrade, it's good to make this change as early as possible.
Although Bitcoin Core's GBT implementation does not provide the `coinbasetxn` field, and mining
pool software crafts the coinbase on its own, updating the Bitcoin Core mining code is a first step
toward convincing pools to update their (often closed source) code. A possible followup is also to
introduce new fields to GBT. In addition, this first step also makes it possible to test future
Consensus Cleanup changes.
The commit making the change also updates a bunch of seemingly-unrelated tests. This is because those tests were asserting error messages based on the txid of transactions involved, and changing the coinbase transaction structure necessarily changes the txid of all tests' transactions.

Construct a linear, no-fork, best version of the blockchain.
Qos
A Linux bash script that will set up traffic control (tc) to limit the outgoing bandwidth for connections to the Bitcoin network. This means one can have an always-on bitcoind instance running, and another local bitcoind/bitcoin-qt instance which connects to this node and receives blocks from it.
