Replace #8209

getblockchaininfo will not show a BIP9 proposal if the timeout is 0. A timeout before the genesis block timestamp guarantees that a softfork must not be activated in any circumstances. A timeout of 0 should be used when we want to merge a softfork proposal without defining its deployment schedule

ACK 409f833

Without this change, the current master shows (RPC getblockchaininfo):

    "segwit": {
      "status": "failed",
      "startTime": 0,
      "timeout": 0
    }

This needs backport to 0.12, but will only merge cleanly after segwit.

@laanwj I don't think a backport is needed since we won't release a backport with undefined softfork
