Structured {de-,}serialization methods for (many new) types
which are used for requests or responses in the RPC.
New types include RPC requests and responses, and structs which compose
types within those.

This commit refactors some of the rpc-related functions in the
Blockchain class to be more composable. This change was made
in order to make implementing the new zmq rpc easier without
trampling on the old rpc.
New functions:
Blockchain::get_num_mature_outputs
Blockchain::get_random_outputs
Blockchain::get_output_key
Blockchain::get_output_key_mask_unlocked
Blockchain::find_blockchain_supplement (overload)
functions which previously had this functionality inline now call these
functions as necessary.
5807529e blockchain: cap memory size of retrieved blocks (moneromooo-monero)
c1b10381 rpc: decrease memory usage a bit in getblocks.bin (moneromooo-monero)
If monerod is started with default sync mode, set it to SAFE after
synchronization completes. Set it back to FAST if synchronization
restarts (e.g. because another peer has a longer blockchain).
If monerod is started with an explicit sync mode, none of this
automation takes effect.
5d4ef719 core: speed up output index unique set calculation (moneromooo-monero)
19d7f568 perf_timer: allow profiling more granular than millisecond (moneromooo-monero)

A sort+uniq step was done for every tx in a 200 block chunk,
causing a lot of repeated scanning as the size of the offset
map got larger with every added tx. We now do the step only
once at the end of the loop.
Doing it this way potentially uses more memory, but testing
shows that it's currently only about 2% more.
If the number of blocks to check was not a multiple of the
number of preparation threads, the last few blocks would
not be included in the threaded long hash calculation.
Those would still get calculated when the block gets added
to the chain, however, so this was only a tiny performance
hit, rather than a security bug.
Minimum mixin 4 and enforced ringct is moved from v5 to v6.
v5 is now used for an increased minimum block size (from 60000
to 300000) to cater for larger typical/minimum transaction size.
The fee algorithm is also changed to decrease the base per kB
fee, and add a cheap tier for those transactions which we do
not care if they get delayed (or even included in a block).
If the blocks aren't being linked against a binary (such as
one of the blockchain utilities), the symbol will not be
NULL, but the size will be 0. This avoids a apurious warning
about the data hash.
When scanning for outputs used in a set of incoming blocks,
we expect that some of the inputs in their transactions will
not be found in the blockchain, as they could be in previous
blocks in that set. Those outputs will be scanned there at
a later point. In this case, we add a flag to control wehther
an output not being found is expected or not.
