This commit changes the state system and database format to track the
provenance of UTXOs, in addition to the outputs themselves.
Specifically, it tracks the following additional metadata:
- the height at which the UTXO was created;
- whether or not the UTXO was created from a coinbase transaction or
not.
This metadata will allow us to:
- check the coinbase maturity consensus rule;
- check the coinbase inputs => no transparent outputs rule;
- implement lookup of transactions by utxo (using the height to find the
block and then scanning the block) for a future RPC mechanism.
Closes#1342
The UTXO query system assumes that a transaction will only request
information about UTXOs created in prior blocks. But transactions are
allowed to spend UTXOs created by prior transactions in the same block.
This doesn't fit with the existing query model, so instead of trying to
change it, allow the script verifier to take an additional set of known
UTXOs, and propagate this set from the block.
This reduces the API surface to the minimum required for functionality,
and cleans up module documentation. The stub mempool module is deleted
entirely, since it will need to be redone later anyways.
This commit begins the process of integrating `zcash_script` with the rest of the system for verifying scripts while syncing the block chain. It does so by adding the necessary support for looking up UTXOs from the state service and implements the first parts of the `script::Verifier` for looking up the necessary UTXOs in the state and then generating the necessary call to `zcash_script` to verify the script itself.

* Flatten consensus::verify::* to consensus::*
* Move consensus::*::tests into their own files
* Move CheckpointList into its own file
* Move Progress and Target into a types module
QueuedBlock and QueuedBlockList can stay in checkpoint.rs, because
they are tightly coupled to CheckpointVerifier.
