This commit adds the functionality necessary to transition from doing binary verification on the basis of a single signature to requiring a minimum threshold of trusted signatures. A signature can appear as "good" from GPG output, but it may not come from an identity the user trusts. We call these "good, untrusted" signatures. We report bad signatures but do not necessarily fail in their presence, since a bad signature might coexist with enough good, trusted signatures to fulfill our criteria. If "--import-keys" is enabled, we will prompt the user to optionally try to retrieve unknown keys. Marking them as trusted locally is a WIP, but keys which are retrieved successfully and appear on the builder-keys list will immediately count as being useful towards fulfilling the threshold. Logging is improved and an option to output JSON that summarizes the whole sum signature and binary verification processes has been added.

Tool to verify that every merge commit was signed by a developer using the github-merge.py script.
Linearize
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.
Seeds
Utility to generate the pnSeed[] array that is compiled into the client.
