5.3.1.0-leisure

[5.3.1.0] 2021-04-04, leisure
This leisure release is part of the "Ingrid" milestone and contains a number
of important fixes. It is highly recommended to upgrade as soon as practicable.
Some highlights:


The beacon renewal chain walker fix (#2054) corrects a potential stall on restart
if the accrual directory is rebuilt.


Beacons are not supposed to be auto-renewed during the scraper active period to
prevent problems with magnitude for renewed beacons on the following superblock. We
actually saw this, where a researcher lost magnitude on the following superblock (only)
due to a renewal that occurred while the scrapers were active, and traced it to an
incorrect guard on the renewal. #2090 and #2092 fix this problem.


Checkpoint based spam protection has been reimplemented (#2084) and we are now
verifying hardened checkpoints on startup to catch some forked wallets better.


Several GUI improvements, including better researcher status while out-of-sync to
prevent confusion (#2068), and an update to translations.


Memory optimization for the beacon db to "passivate" unneeded beacon elements from
memory.


Implementation of a new getburnreport RPC function.


The next release should have the requested "sync-from-zero" menu option to complement
the "snapshot download" option already present.
Enjoy!
