* Added sizeshift to proof of work and encoding as VLQ
* Fix some loose ends to get things to compile
* Rename sizehift to min_sizeshift
* Pipeline checks for PoW Cuckoo Cycle size shift and adjustment
factor before difficulty comparison.
* Working delta+VLQ encoding of u64 PoW, unfortunately still a
little larger than u32, at least for Cuckoo30.
* Changed binary encoding of proof of work to a sequence of exact
compact bit representation of each nonce. Somewhat simpler,
shorter and matches the data to be hashed.
* Few fixes based on @tromp feedback:
* Max nonce is 2^(N-1)
* Need a separate constant for reference sizeshift
* Cuckoo implementation now conserves sizeshift. Test providing a
block at higher sizeshift.
* Last small overflow protection
We used to hash the hash of the header, needlessly. This also
makes a few function signatures more explicit.
Note that this is consensus breaking and should be accompanied
with a similar change on the cuckoo-pow repository:
6fcecf516aFixes#1066
Small refactoring of one folder, if it makes sense I could extend the scope.
* Remove some cloning (real and just verbosity in the code)
* Naming conventions like to/into*
* Some Clippy's suggestions
I found that we don't use field init shorthand syntax, so I didn't touch this part, was it discussed before?
* beginning to refactor keychain into wallet lib
* rustfmt
* more refactor of aggsig lib, simplify aggsig context manager, hold instance statically for now

* add ability to run internal test miner for cuckoo 16 testing
* modify build instructions
* Adding output stats from plugin, when available
* adding grin config
* moving pow crate from core/pow to it's own crate
* moving POW/mining stuff into pow module, and removing mining dependency from chain
* refactored most of mining into pow module...miner.rs still in server
* update grin tests
* updating genesis block mining to use configured miner, if available
* chain tests back into chain, done with pow refactor

tokio_core -> tokio_io
complete() -> send()
* playing around with changing cuckoo sizes on the fly
* modifying tests to use global cuckoo parameters, and checking results
* check for pow size
* Changing global function names, and removing length from POW serialization
* Adding cuckoo-miner into grin as a proper dependency now
* Defaulting to using cuckoo-miner
* Updates to tests to use cuckoo_miner by default, (using cuckoo16)
* Refactoring to allow for different miner implementations. Added conditional support for compiling and loading the cuckoo-miner plugin project.
* Small changes to experimentally integrate with cuckoo-miner and compatibility with latest version of cuckoo-miner.
* Turning off inclusion of cuckoo_miner by default
* Disabling simulate_parallel_mining test for now
* Beginning to add a POW description, and some minor changes to mining testing, addition of further debug information to mining output.
* Many additions to create first draft of POW documentation
* Fixes to difficult adjustments by adding a MINIMUM_DIFFICULTY consensus value. Otherwise never adjusted above 1 due to flooring.
Integrate the new difficulty calculation into the block chain
validation, the miner and tests. As the difficulty calculation
doesn't use varying Cuckoo sizes anymore and we narrowed down
reasonable final Cuckoo Cycle parameters, removed all Cuckoo
Cycle sizes from block headers.
Formalized easier Cuckoo Cycle sizes for testing (and possibly
testnet) by introducing a test mode in configuration. Updated
all tests.
* core: cleanup slicing impls for Hash
* core: clean up Readable trait, implement Readable/Writeable for various integers
* core: change Hash debug output to hex
* core: correct warnings in all modules
