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.

In refactor for #359 it was noted that the wallet
monitoring loop in Qt updated the status bar every
5 seconds, overwriting any existing status updates.
This fixes that UI bug so that the wallet synced
successfully (or unsucessfully) message is only shown
at start up or if there is a change of status (i.e.
the wallet monitoring loop stops working).
This is intended primarily to support running the
ob-watcher.py script from any environment that has no
blockchain access.
It could be used in debug and possibly recovery scenarios,
but this is explicitly unsupported (see comments in config).
The above commit introduces auto freezing for utxos below
a threshold, but erroneously auto freezes new utxos in
almost all cases because transactions are processed
multiple times (add_utxos handles this in the wallet).
The problem here is solved as with the same issue of
duplication in the logging of new transactions; we keep
track of new txids that arrive in the wallet and make
sure not to process the same txid twice.
Additionally, the setting of WalletService.used_addresses
is fixed. Test for this function is also fixed.
Closes#274. Utxos are disabled if they are sent
to a reused address, and are below a threshold
set by the value `max_sats_freeze_reuse` in the
`POLICY` section of the config file. If the value
is -1, such utxos are always frozen irrespective of
the value.
Users are prompted with a warning level logging message
on CLI and a popup on Joinmarket-Qt. Such disabled utxos
can of course be re-enabled by the existing methods.
Also adds test case for address reuse freezing function.
No-history is a method for synchronizing a wallet by scanning the UTXO
set. It can be useful for checking whether seed phrase backups have
money on them before committing the time and effort required to
rescanning the blockchain. No-history sync is compatible with pruning.
The sync method cannot tell which empty addresses have been used, so
cannot guarentee avoidance of address reuse. For this reason no-history
sync disables wallet address generation and can only be used with
wallet-tool and for sending transactions without change addresses.
Fixes#469. Prior to this commit, using the now default
version of sync (earlier was called "fast sync"), imports
of addresses beyond those already used in the application
was not occurring, resulting in addresses displayed for
deposit that had not been imported as watch-only in Bitcoin
Core. This meant that a user may deposit but not see the
balance in Joinmarket.
This fix ensures that every address displayed (via any
interface) will always have been pre-imported).
Fixes#459. If the mixdepth chosen is empty, shutdown
immediately with ARGERROR. User can either choose a
different mixdepth and try again, or receive payment
another way.
Account movement transactions are deprecated in Core but they still
sometimes appear in old wallets. Such transactions create an entry
in the listtransactions result which doesnt have a "txid" key.
