These belong in libbitcoin_common.a, not libbitcoin_util.a, because they aren't
general-purpose utilities, they just contain common code that is used by both
the node and the wallet. Another reason to reason to not include these in
libbitcoin_util.a is to prevent them from being used by the kernel library.

interfaces::Wallet.
