To facilitate easier management by users and to
follow generally accepted standards, this PR moves
the following all to user home directory, subdir
.joinmarket :
joinmarket.cfg file
wallets/ directory
logs/ directory
cmtdata/ directory
commitmentlist file
User can override location with --datadir option.
An info message is added on startup showing location.
Prior to this commit, the user was prompted to check for
the acceptability of fees in Qt via a dialog, but settings
used in CLI (max_cj_fee_***) were not also being used the
same way in Qt.
After this commit, if the user has not added those settings,
a dialog is presented with new randomised defaults (as for
CLI), and otherwise any settings in the config file are read
and used.
The schedule format gets an extra field added denoting the number of
significant figures to round the coinjoin amounts to, with 16 meaning
no rounding.
This is part of the 2/2019 Plan to improve the privacy of JoinMarket's
tumbler script:

Introduces WalletService object which is in control of
blockchain and wallet access.
The service manages a single transaction monitoring loop,
instead of multiple, and allows updates to the wallet from
external sources to be handled in real time, so that both Qt
and other apps (yg) can respond to deposits or withdrawals
automatically.
The refactoring also controls access to both wallet and
blockchain so that client apps (Taker, Maker) will not need
to be changed for future new versions e.g. client-side filtering.
Also updates and improves Wallet Tab behaviour in Qt (memory
of expansion state).
Additionally, blockchain sync is now --fast by default, with
the former default of detailed sync being renamed --recoversync.
Previous to this commit, the jmbitcoin package was accessed via
a file in jmclient `btc.py` which was originally added as an
interface to allow the client to use a non-jmbitcoin package to
provide the implementation; while this idea is useful, the way
it was implemented was not, moreover it is not currently used
and contained duplicated code that was unmanaged. Also, the
original usage of this was only by the electrum plugin, which
has currently been abandoned. This simplifies the code and
avoids spurious error messages. Note that most of the changes
are a result of pulling the logging function directly from the
jmbase package instead of indirectly via this interface (which
was unnecessary and not connected with jmbitcoin).
