Pass relevant information to the base class instead of overwriting
default values later, use objects instead of pointers to objects
to avoid having to new objects unnecessarily.
When a single input is enough to satisfy a transfer, the code would
previously try to add a second input, to match the "canonical" makeup
of a transaction with two inputs and two outputs. This would cause
wallets to slowly merge outputs till all the monero ends up in a
single output, which causes trouble when making two transactions
one after the other, since change is locked for 10 blocks, and an
increasing portion of the remaining balance would end up locked on
each transaction.
There are two new settings (min-output-count and min-output-value)
which can control when to stop adding such unneeded second outputs.
The idea is that small "dust" outputs will still get added, but
larger ones will not.
Enable with, eg:
set min-output-count 10
set min-output-value 30
to avoid using an unneeded second output of 30 monero or more, if
there would be less than 10 such outputs left.
This does not invalidate any other reason why such outputs would
be used (ie, when they're really needed to satisfy a transfer, or
when randomly picked in the normal course of selection). This may
be improved in the future.

558cfc31 core, wallet: faster tx pool scanning (moneromooo-monero)
f065234b core: cache tx and block hashes in the respective classes (moneromooo-monero)
The txid is not saved, and we want to make sure the transactions
have their txid cached while in the pool, since get_transactions
copies the transaction object, so any txid calculation on those
copies would not benefit any later caller, since the original tx
would be left without a cached txid.
New pull request because I couldn't figure out how to change the previous one.
1. For clarity, I want to focus the help text for the 'transfer' command on the most typical use case (a single payment).
2. New users will prefer to use 'transfer', so the older method 'transfer_original' should refer to 'transfer' rather than the other way around.

Asking for a full histogram from a remote node (since it's
untrusted) is pretty slow, and spams the remote node, so
we replace it by only adding a second input if we have rct
ones, which are for all intents and purposes always mixable.
