When RingCT is enabled, outputs from coinbase transactions
are created as a single output, and stored as RingCT output,
with a fake mask. Their amount is not hidden on the blockchain
itself, but they are then able to be used as fake inputs in
a RingCT ring. Since the output amounts are hidden, their
"dustiness" is not an obstacle anymore to mixing, and this
makes the coinbase transactions a lot smaller, as well as
helping the TXO set to grow more slowly.
Also add a new "Null" type of rct signature, which decreases
the size required when no signatures are to be stored, as
in a coinbase tx.
This allows the key to be not the same for two outputs sent to
the same address (eg, if you pay yourself, and also get change
back). Also remove the key amounts lists and return parameters
since we don't actually generate random ones, so we don't need
to save them as we can recalculate them when needed if we have
the correct keys.
The whole rct data apart from the MLSAGs is now included in
the signed message, to avoid malleability issues.
Instead of passing the data that's not serialized as extra
parameters to the verification API, the transaction is modified
to fill all that information. This means the transaction can
not be const anymore, but it cleaner in other ways.
This plugs a privacy leak, where the wallet tells the daemon
which transactions contain outputs for the wallet by asking
for additional information for that particular transaction.
As a nice bonus, this actually makes refresh slightly faster.
With RCT, we allow 0 size outputs, to try and encourage txes
with two inputs and two outputs. Consolidation would then
have two non zero inputs, one zero output, and one larger
output.
Before the normal selection, we attempt to find either one or two
suitable outputs to use as inputs to the rct tx. The intent is that
most rct txes will have one or two inputs, and we want all to look
the same if possible.
When two outputs are needed, we try to find a pair which are not
related (ie, by being from the same or similar block height).
The "transfer" simplewallet command is renamed to "transfer_original".
"transfer_new" is renamed "transfer", "transfer_rct" is removed,
and the new "transfer" now selects rct or non rct transactions
based on the current block height.
Since these are needed at the same time as the output pubkeys,
this is a whole lot faster, and takes less space. Only outputs
of 0 amount store the commitment. When reading other outputs,
a fake commitment is regenerated on the fly. This avoids having
to rewrite the database to add space for fake commitments for
existing outputs.
This code relies on two things:
- LMDB must support fixed size records per key, rather than
per database (ie, all records on key 0 are the same size, all
records for non 0 keys are same size, but records from key 0
and non 0 keys do have different sizes).
- the commitment must be directly after the rest of the data
in outkey and output_data_t.
The mixRing (output keys and commitments) and II fields (key images)
can be reconstructed from vin data.
This saves some modest amount of space in the tx.
If the blockchain gets reorganized, all outputs spent in the part
of the blockchain that's blown away need to be reset to unspent
(they may end up spent again on the blocks that replace the blocks
that are removed, however).
It may be suboptimal, but it's a pain to have to rebuild everything
when some of this changes.
Also, no clue why there seems to be two different code paths for
serializing a tx...
A new version of genRct takes the mixRing as parameter, instead
of the inPk. inPk are part of the mixRing, and it is cleaner to
pass the mixRing data than to fetch it from the RingCT code.
A new version of decodeRct also returns the mask.
Also, failure to decode throws, so errors are properly detected.
This lets my gcc picks those instead of the generic template
where appropriate (and then fail since std::vector<something>
does not have a serialize method.

This plugs a privacy leak from the wallet to the daemon,
as the daemon could previously see what input is included
as a transaction input, which the daemon hadn't previously
supplied. Now, the wallet requests a particular set of
outputs, including the real one.
This can result in transactions that can't be accepted if
the wallet happens to select too many outputs with non standard
unlock times. The daemon could know this and select another
output, but the wallet is blind to it. It's currently very
unlikely since I don't think anything uses non default
unlock times. The wallet requests more outputs than necessary
so it can use spares if any of the returns outputs are still
locked. If there are not enough spares to reach the desired
mixin, the transaction will fail.

Simplewallet improperly skipped the restore from height code if
restoring a deterministic wallet AND not specifying a wallet file in the
command line. The other generate options require a wallet file as an
argument, which prevents "ask_wallet_create_if_needed()" from being
called, which in turn causes "m_generate_new" to remain unset.
Specifying a wallet file at launch with --restore-deterministic emulated
this behavior.
This constrains the number of instances of any amount
to the unlocked ones (as defined by the default unlock time
setting: outputs with non default unlock time are not
considered, so may be counted as unlocked even if they are
not actually unlocked).

The previous logic that used a COMMON_*_FLAGS intermediate variable
and then re-assigned CMAKE_*_FLAGS before including each subdirectory
was confusing and ugly. This PR is the right way to do it.
This commit is purely refactoring: built binaries unchanged.
By default the flag is enabled whenever libunwind is found on the
system, with the exception of static build on OSX (for which we can't
install the throw hook #932 due to lack of support for --wrap in OSX
ld64 linker).
They are used to export a signed set of key images from a wallet
with a private spend key, so an auditor with the matching view key
may see which of those are spent, and which are not.
It is not clear why libunbound was added to this in the first place,
since it wasn't here before and #915 doesn't seem to introduce any
new dependency on it.
Tested build with STATIC=OFF (with and without libunbound-dev libunbound8
installed) and STATIC=ON, on Ubuntu Trusty, Debian Jessie, and Arch
Linux. For static builds, beware of #926 and #907.
If this hack was introduced to make it build on some other system
(Windows? OS X?), then it will have to be dealt with, but not this way.
