Update serialize comments to be doxygen compatible
The first thing that SelectParams does is call SelectBaseParams. Therefore, we do not need to call SelectBaseParams immediately prior to calling SelectParams.

build: Fix "too many arguments" error

Closes #5141
Add "warmup mode" for RPC server.

Start the RPC server before doing all the (expensive) startup
initialisations like loading the block index.  Until the node is ready,
return all calls immediately with a new error signalling "in warmup"
with an appropriate status message (similar to the init message).

This is useful for RPC clients to know that the server is there (e. g.,
they don't have to start it) but not yet available.  It is used in
Namecoin and Huntercoin already for some time, and there exists a UI
hooked onto the RPC interface that actively uses this to its advantage.

depends: boost: hard-code hidden symbol visibility

tl;dr: This solves boost visibility problems for default/release build configs
on non-Linux platforms.

When Bitcoin builds against boost's header-only classes, it ends up with
objects containing symbols that the upstream boost libs also have. Since
Bitcoin builds by default with hidden symbol visibility, it can end up trying
to link against a copy of the same symbols with default visibility.
This is not a problem on Linux because 3rd party static libs are un-exported
by default (--exclude-libs,ALL), but that is not available for MinGW and OSX.

Those platforms (and maybe others?) end up confused about which version to use.

The OSX linker spews hundreds of: "ld: warning: direct access in <foo> to
global weak symbol guard variable for <bar> means the weak symbol cannot be
overridden at runtime. This was likely caused by different translation units
being compiled with different visibility settings."

MinGW's linker complains similarly.

Since the default symbol visibility for Bitcoin is hidden and releases are
built that way as well, build Boost with hidden visibility. Linux builds Boost
this way also, but only for the sake of continuity.

This means that the linker confusion logic is reversed, so the problem will
will now be encountered if Bitcoin is built with --disable-reduce-exports, but
that's better than the current situation.

Reduce bitcoin-cli dependencies
Rearrange initial config checks: AC, AM, compiler, libtool.
Removed some repeated and unused prog checks.
Always log number of threads for script verification

Helps for troubleshooting.
Change -genproclimit default to 1

This is less surprising.

Avoids the overload-the-CPU default of using N threads for script
verification as well as N threads for generation where N is number of cores.
