We have a very low default value for "attempt_time_per_block", which exposed an issue with the miner. This change documents the correct / ideal behavior.
* tweak excess example in docs
* remove reference to ECDSA signature.
remove references to passing sums of blinding factors around

* tweak who knows the private key
Also added some minor clarifications on the setup and verification of `x*G` on other chain, as well as a more detailed section on how this would work on bitcoin.

rustfmt stopped working for me. It turns out people started having trouble with this last year already https://github.com/rust-lang-nursery/rustfmt/issues/2304
* rustfmt on a single file now works! Secrets inside
After `rustup component add rustfmt-preview` I get rustfmt as a command in my terminal.
`rustfmt --help` reveals --write-mode [replace|overwrite|display|plain|diff|coverage|checkstyle] and we've been using the default which is either `overwrite` or `replace` (depending on rustfmt version) and this was changing a bunch of files and a messed up workflow.
* Newcomer-friendly explanation how to use `rustfmt`
* wip - coinbase maturity and output lock height docs
* tbd spend an output
* expand on how we prove ownership of an output to spend it
* add proposed solution
* fixup output hash description
On Fedora, Linux headers aren't enough to build `rocksdb`, as suggested in #549. `clang` is also required. Adds note to troubleshooting to help with this.
* Add minor document fixes
- fix broken link
- fix shell command formatting
- fix typo
* Add FAQ entry dealing with rocksdb
When compiling Grin without Linux headers the build process exits with
an opaque error message. Adding the header files fixes this.
References #549.
* distinguish select (among futures) from select coins. Regex search in project for select\b shows we hardly use select, but maybe could use it to add timeouts more cleanly. ("Want to add a timeout to any future? Just do a select of that future and a timeout future!" from https://aturon.github.io/blog/2016/08/11/futures/)
