As importing a transaction requires blockchain lock, all the network threads
can be used up blocking for that lock, especially if Synchronizer is active.
So we simply discard incoming TRANSACTION messages if we can't immediately
obtain the blockchain lock. Some other peer will probably attempt to
send the transaction soon again anyway.
Plus we swap transaction lists after connection handshake.
Post trigger, account levels will map correctly to share bins, subtracting 1 to account for the 0th element of the shareBinsByLevel array.
Pre-trigger, the legacy mapping will remain in effect.
Post trigger, this change will use all 128 bytes of previous block's signature when
calculating/validating next block's "minter" signature (itself the first 64 bytes of a block signature).
Prior to trigger, current behaviour is to only use first 64 bytes of previous block's
signature, which doesn't encompass transactions signature.
New block sig code should help reduce forking and help improve transactional
security.
Added "newBlockSigHeight" to blockchain.json but initially set to block 999999
pending decision on when to merge, auto-update, go-live, etc.
