Use hashAccumulators instead of re-hashing mapAccumulatorHashes, as sometimes the map is not used but the cached hash value it had is (e.g. constructing the CBlockIndex from a CBlockHeader). Update hashAccumulators on any calls to AddAccumulators. Copy it when copying mapBlockIndex. Finally, copy it on loading from the diskindex--I believe this is the cause of some indexes (particularly orphans) having inconsistent hashes. Fixes Veil-Project#942.

Problem
Issue #942:
Orphaned blocks sometimes had inconsistent hashes between block index hash (generally the cached value) and the disk index hash (produced by taking a new hash of the data). On closer inspection,
hashAccumulatorswas the only differing value.Solution
Make sure
hashAccumulatorsis set or copied appropriately where relevant, particularly whenmapAccumulatorHashesis set but not changed. The main culprit is likelyLoadBlockIndexGuts, since it would be very easy to forget to updatehashAccumulatorsbefore writing it out again.Plus we use
hashAccumulatorsinstead of recalculating the map's hash as described in #942.Testing
On regtest, with lots of extra debug warnings in
WriteBatchSyncabout bad hashes, minted zerocoins in forks, confirmed this makes the debug warnings go away.
