There are quite a few variables in the code that are no longer
(or perhaps never were) in use. These were discovered by enabling
compiler warnings for unused variables and cleaning them up.
In most cases where the unused variables were the result
of a function call the call was left but the variable
assignment removed, unless it was obvious that it was
a simple getter with no side effects.

8a282f6 Add RELINK_TARGETS, monero_add_target_no_relink and use monero_add_executable/monero_add_library where possible (mj-xmr) Add monero_add_minimal_executable and use in tests (mj-xmr)
Add monero_add_minimal_executable and use in tests
This is done in order not to have to relink targets, when just an .so changed, but not its interface.
Tests running after being compiled with `make debug-test` failed with
```
[ FAILED ] block_reward_and_current_block_weight.fails_on_huge_median_size
[ FAILED ] block_reward_and_current_block_weight.fails_on_huge_block_weight
```
With the introduction of the patch in
be82c40703 (diff-1a57d4e6013984c420da98d1adde0eafL113)
the assertions checking the weight of the median and current block
against a size limit were removed. Since the limit is now enforced by a
long divisor and a uint64_t type, checking in a separate test makes
little sense, so they are removed here.
This reduces the attack surface for data that can come from
malicious sources (exported output and key images, multisig
transactions...) since the monero serialization is already
exposed to the outside, and the boost lib we were using had
a few known crashers.
For interoperability, a new load-deprecated-formats wallet
setting is added (off by default). This allows loading boost
format data if there is no alternative. It will likely go
at some point, along with the ability to load those.
Notably, the peer lists file still uses the boost serialization
code, as the data it stores is define in epee, while the new
serialization code is in monero, and migrating it was fairly
hairy. Since this file is local and not obtained from anyone
else, the marginal risk is minimal, but it could be migrated
later if needed.
Some tests and tools also do, this will stay as is for now.
