Kaspad v0.12.0 - Hard Fork

This version contains a hard fork at DAA score 14687583 (estimated to be on 28/04 16:38 UTC). Upgrade is mandatory, and everyone who doesn't upgrade will be split off the network.
The main focus of the hard fork is to address the issue of deep side chains that spam the network. After the hard fork is activated such side chains will be ignored unless they win the block race and have more blue work than the rest of the network.

Changelog

Breaking changes:
Hard-fork at DAA score 14687583 (estimated to be on 28/04 16:38 UTC) which includes:
* Using separate depth than finality depth for merge set calculations (#2013)
* Not counting the header size as part of the block mass (#2013)
* Increasing block version to 1 (#2013)
* Removing the limit on amount of KAS that can be sent in one transaction (#2013)

Bug fixes:

• Making a workaround for the UTXO diff child bug (#2020)
• Use cosigner index 0 for read only wallets (#2014)

Non-breaking changes:

• Adding a "sweep" command to kaspawallet (#2018)
• Use blue work heuristic to skip irrelevant relay blocks
• Kaspawallet daemon: Add Send and Sign commands (#2016)

• @D-Stacks made their first contribution in #2018
