…ompressed pubkeys BREAKING CHANGE: Reparsing the blockchain is strongly recommended. In v0.6 the format of raw pubkeys was changed from a dedicated class (CPubKey) to an array (std::array<unsigned char, 65>). The dedicated class handled compressed pubkeys with 33 bytes correctly, while the new array left the remaining bytes uninitialized. This caused non-deterministic parser outputs and incorrect handling of multisig addresses. Closes #367

In v0.6 the format of raw pubkeys was changed from a dedicated class (
CPubKey) to an array (std::array<unsigned char, 65>). The class handled compressed pubkeys with 33 bytes correctly, while the new array leaves the remaining bytes uninitialized. This causes non-deterministic parser outputs and errors in the handling of multisig addresses. This PR fixes this issue.
