This is working towards showing transactions before asking for passwords.
I think it also means the transaction dialog now interacts properly with
plugins, whereas it didn't before.
send_tx now takes a callback instead of a label, and does not decide
on whether to broadast itself; that is left to its caller.
broadcast_transaction() takes care of adding the description of the
successfully broadcast transaction to the wallet. Previously labels
could be added to the wallet even if the broadcast was cancelled by
the user or unsuccessful, which doesn't seem right.
Lengthen the dialog messages a little, as some window managers lose the
"Please Wait" title bar owing to window decorations if the message
is too short.
This is a layering violation - the SocketPipe doesn't own
the socket and provides no other way to close the socket, leading
to unnecessary complexity like that in interface.py.
I looked at deamon.py and NetworkProxy - the two other users,
and they don't close the sockets explicitly, just let them be
garbage collected.
Set timeout and socket options on all simple sockets. At present
some code paths can miss it, such as when the SSL certificate is
CA-signed.
Add a missing check for failure.
Remove interface communication out of blockchain.py
into network.py. network.py handles protocol requests
for headers and chunks. blockchain.py continues to
handle their analysis and verification.
If an interface provides a header chain that doesn't
connect, it is dismissed, as per a previous TODO comment.
This removes a thread and another source of timeouts.
I see no performance issues with this when truncating the
blockchain.
Rename 'result' to 'header' for clarity.
