Add a sanity check to prevent cosmic rays from flipping a bit in the
generated public key, or bugs in the elliptic curve code. This is
simply done by signing a (randomized) message, and verifying the
result.
This turns STRICTENC turn into a softforking-safe change (even though it
is not intended as a consensus rule), and as a result guarantee that using
it for mempool validation only results in consensus-valid transactions in
the mempool.
NOP1 to NOP10 are reserved for future soft-fork upgrades. In the event
of an upgrade such NOPs have *VERIFY behavior, meaning that if their
arguments are not correct the script fails. Discouraging these NOPs by
rejecting transactions containing them from the mempool ensures that
we'll never accept transactions, nor mine blocks, with scripts that are
now invalid according to the majority of hashing power even if we're not
yet upgraded. Previously this wasn't an issue as the IsStandard() rules
didn't allow upgradable NOPs anyway, but 7f3b4e95 relaxed the
IsStandard() rules for P2SH redemptions allowing any redeemScript to be
spent.
We *do* allow upgradable NOPs in scripts so long as they are not
executed. This is harmless as there is no opportunity for the script to
be invalid post-upgrade.

f877aaa Bugfix: submitblock: Use a temporary CValidationState to determine accurately the outcome of ProcessBlock, now that it no longer does the full block validity check (Luke Dashjr)
24e8896 Add CValidationInterface::BlockChecked notification (Luke Dashjr)

85c579e script: add a slew of includes all around and drop includes from script.h (Cory Fields)
db8eb54 script: move ToString and ValueString out of the header (Cory Fields)
e9ca428 script: add ToByteVector() for converting anything with begin/end (Cory Fields)
066e2a1 script: move CScriptID to standard.h and add a ctor for creating them from CScripts (Cory Fields)
a873823 CAutoFile: Explicit Get() and remove unused methods (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
fef24ca Add IsNull() to class CAutoFile and remove operator ! (Ruben Dario Ponticeli)
This allows for a reversal of the current behavior.
This:
CScript foo;
CScriptID bar(foo.GetID());
Becomes:
CScript foo;
CScriptID bar(foo);
This way, CScript is no longer dependent on CScriptID or Hash();
* Delete canonical_tests.cpp, and move the tests to script_tests.cpp.
* Split off SCRIPT_VERIFY_DERSIG from SCRIPT_VERIFY_STRICTENC (the BIP62 part of it).
* Change signature STRICTENC/DERSIG semantics to fail the script entirely rather than the CHECKSIG result (softfork safety, and BIP62 requirement).
* Add many autogenerated tests for several odd cases.
* Mention specific BIP62 rules in the script verification flags.
