Calvin Kim 16cd44f0e6 blockchain, netsync, main, cmd/addblock: Use utxocache
This change is part of the effort to add utxocache support to btcd.

utxo cache is now used by the BlockChain struct.  By default it's used
and the minimum cache is set to 250MiB.  The change made helps speed up
block/tx validation as the cache allows for much faster lookup of utxos.
The initial block download in particular is improved as the db i/o
bottleneck is remedied by the cache.

Build Status ISC License GoDoc

Overview

This package implements a concurrency safe block syncing protocol. The SyncManager communicates with connected peers to perform an initial block download, keep the chain and unconfirmed transaction pool in sync, and announce new blocks connected to the chain. Currently the sync manager selects a single sync peer that it downloads all blocks from until it is up to date with the longest chain the sync peer is aware of.
