The Bug:
1. Construct `byte_slice.portion_` with `epee::span(buffer)` which copies a pointer to the SSO buffer to `byte_slice.portion_`
2. It constructs `byte_slice.storage_` with `std::move(buffer)` (normally this swap pointers, but SSO means a memcpy and clear on the original SSO buffer)
3. `slice.data()` returns a pointer from `slice.portion_` that points to the original SSO cleared buffer, `slice.storage_` has the actual string.
- choice where to enter passphrase is now made on the host
- use wipeable string in the comm stack
- wipe passphrase memory
- protocol optimizations, prepare for new firmware version
- minor fixes and improvements
- tests fixes, HF12 support
- Add abstract_http_client.h which http_client.h extends.
- Replace simple_http_client with abstract_http_client in wallet2,
message_store, message_transporter, and node_rpc_proxy.
- Import and export wallet data in wallet2.
- Use #if defined __EMSCRIPTEN__ directives to skip incompatible code.
5.7.1 was removed from official qt.io archive, this is one of the few mirrors remaining that keep a copy.
I think it would be better if @TheCharlatan updated to a newer version soon than merging this PR

When a handshake fails, it can fail due to timeout or destroyed
connection, in which case the connection will be, or already is,
closed, and we don't want to do it twice.
Additionally, when closing a connection directly from the top
level code, ensure the connection is gone from the m_connects
list so it won't be used again.
AFAICT this is now clean in netstat, /proc/PID/fd and print_cn.
This fixes a noisy (but harmless) exception.

- Finding handling function in ZMQ JSON-RPC now uses binary search
- Temporary `std::vector`s in JSON output now use `epee::span` to
prevent allocations.
- Binary -> hex in JSON output no longer allocates temporary buffer
- C++ structs -> JSON skips intermediate DOM creation, and instead
write directly to an output stream.
