// NewBlockTemplate returns a new block template that is ready to be solved
// using the transactions from the passed transaction memory pool and a coinbase
// that either pays to the passed address if it is not nil, or a coinbase that
// is redeemable by anyone if the passed address is nil.  The nil address
// functionality is useful since there are cases such as the getblocktemplate
// RPC where external mining software is responsible for creating their own
// coinbase which will replace the one generated for the block template.  Thus
// the need to have configured address can be avoided.
//
// The transactions selected and included are prioritized according to several
// factors.  First, each transaction has a priority calculated based on its
// value, age of inputs, and size.  Transactions which consist of larger
// amounts, older inputs, and small sizes have the highest priority.  Second, a
// fee per kilobyte is calculated for each transaction.  Transactions with a
// higher fee per kilobyte are preferred.  Finally, the block generation related
// configuration options are all taken into account.
//
// Transactions which only spend outputs from other transactions already in the
// block chain are immediately added to a priority queue which either
// prioritizes based on the priority (then fee per kilobyte) or the fee per
// kilobyte (then priority) depending on whether or not the BlockPrioritySize
// configuration option allots space for high-priority transactions.
// Transactions which spend outputs from other transactions in the memory pool
// are added to a dependency map so they can be added to the priority queue once
// the transactions they depend on have been included.
//
// Once the high-priority area (if configured) has been filled with transactions,
// or the priority falls below what is considered high-priority, the priority
// queue is updated to prioritize by fees per kilobyte (then priority).
//
// When the fees per kilobyte drop below the TxMinFreeFee configuration option,
// the transaction will be skipped unless there is a BlockMinSize set, in which
// case the block will be filled with the low-fee/free transactions until the
// block size reaches that minimum size.
//
// Any transactions which would cause the block to exceed the BlockMaxSize
// configuration option, exceed the maximum allowed signature operations per
// block, or otherwise cause the block to be invalid are skipped.
//
// Given the above, a block generated by this function is of the following form:
