View wallets do not have the spend secret key, and are thus
unable to derive key images for incoming outputs. Moreover,
a previous patch set key images to zero as a means to mark
an output as having an unknown key image, so they could be
filled in when importing key images at a later time. That
later patch caused spurious collisions. We now use public
keys to detect duplicate outputs. Public keys obtained from
the blockchain are checked to be identical to the ones
derived locally, so can't be spoofed.
m_amount_out was sometimes getting initialized with the sum of
an transaction's outputs, and sometimes with the sum of outputs
that were not change. This caused confusion and bugs. We now
always set it to the sum of outputs. This reverts an earlier
fix for bad amounts as this used the other semantics. The wallet
data should be converted automatically in a percentage of cases
that I'm hesitant to estimate. In any case, restoring from seed
or keys or rebuilding the cache will get it right.
Compute derivation only once per tx, instead of once per output. Approx 33% faster while using 75% as much CPU on my machine. Note old functions in cryptonote_core (lookup_acc_outs and is_out_to_acc) are still used by tests.
The intended use is to export outputs from a hot wallet, which
can scan incoming transfers from the network, and import them
in the cold wallet, which can't. The cold wallet can then compute
key images for those outputs, which can then be exported with
export_key_images, etc.
Re-creating the transaction on the cold wallet was not splitting
the change, causing the transaction to be rejected by the network.
This worked on testnet since amounts do not have to be split.
Also add selected_transfers, which can now be saved since they're
size_t rather than iterators. This allows the view wallet to
properly set the sent outputs as spent and update balance.
Bump transfer file version numbers to match.

0eba133 wallet: fix mixup between mixin 2 and 4 before/after v5 (moneromooo-monero)
25% of the outputs are selected from the last 5 days (if possible),
in order to avoid the common case of sending recently received
outputs again. 25% and 5 days are subject to review later, since
it's just a wallet level change.
This was still using the old transaction creation algorithm,
coupled with a deterministic output selection scheme, which
made it ill suited to the job, since it'd loop indefinitely
in case the fee increased between the test tx and adding the
fee.

This change adds the ability to create a new unsigned transaction
from a watch only wallet, and save it to a file. This file can
then be moved to another computer/VM where a cold wallet may load
it, sign it, and save it. That cold wallet does not need to have
a blockchain nor daemon. The signed transaction file can then be
moved back to the watch only wallet, which can load it and send
it to the daemon.
Two new simplewallet commands to use it:
sign_transfer (on the cold wallet)
submit_transfer (on the watch only wallet)
The transfer command used on a watch only wallet now writes an
unsigned transaction set in a file called 'unsigned_monero_tx'
instead of submitting the tx to the daemon as a normal wallet does.
The signed tx file is called 'signed_monero_tx'.
