Some tests assume the first output in a transaction goes to the recipient.
However, it can be the change. When it is, the recipient's keys will not
recognize this output. To fix this, we send all we have, to ensure there
is no change, and the first output goes to the recipient.
I'm not sure why this worked with Cryptonote. The tests sent 17 coins,
which seems way smaller than the first Bytecoin block reward, so there
would have been change too. Maybe outputs were not shuffled originally.
Block reward may now be less than the full amount allowed.
This was breaking the bitflipping test.
We now keep track of whether a block which was accepted by the core
has a lower than allowed block reward, and allow this in the test.
They were trying to send too much monero, and thus failing.
The parameters were set in such a way that the (simple) output
gathering code could fulfill them for 4 block rewards for the
original Bytecoin emission, but that does not work with monero
so we need to use smaller values.
The current monero consensus uses 0.01 per kB fees, so use enough
for 2 kB transactions for now. It'll probably have to be either
bumped further or changed to calculate the proper fee.
The core tests use the blockchain, and reset it to be able
to add test data to it. This does not play nice with the
databases, since those will save that data without an explicit
save call.
We add a fakechain flag that the tests will set, which tells
the core and blockchain code to use a separate database, as
well as skip a few things like checkpoints and fixup, which
only make sense for real data.
The last relayed time of a transaction is maintained, and
transactions will be relayed again if they are still in the
pool after a certain amount of time, which increases with
the transaction's age. All such transactions are resent,
whether or not they originated on the local node.
Use the correct block time for realtime fuzz on locktime
Use the correct block time to calculate next_difficulty on alt chains (will not work as-is with voting)
Lock unit tests to original block time for now

Fixed the windows path, and improved logging and data
(for graph) logging, fixed some locks and added more checks.
Still there is a locking error,
not added by my patches, but present in master version
(locking of map/list of peers).
