86b47fa741 speed up Unserialize_impl for prevector (Akio Nakamura)
Pull request description:
The unserializer for prevector uses `resize()` for reserve the area, but it's prefer to use `reserve()` because `resize()` have overhead to call its constructor many times.
However, `reserve()` does not change the value of `_size` (a private member of prevector).
This PR make the logic of read from stream to callback function, and prevector handles initilizing new values with that call-back and ajust the value of `_size`.
The changes are as follows:
1. prevector.h
Add a public member function named 'append'.
This function has 2 params, number of elemenst to append and call-back function that initilizing new appended values.
2. serialize.h
In the following two function:
- `Unserialize_impl(Stream& is, prevector<N, T>& v, const unsigned char&)`
- `Unserialize_impl(Stream& is, prevector<N, T>& v, const V&)`
Make a callback function from each original logic of reading values from stream, and call prevector's `append()`.
3. test/prevector_tests.cpp
Add a test for `append()`.

Unit tests will be automatically compiled if dependencies were met in ./configure
and tests weren't explicitly disabled.
After configuring, they can be run with make check.
To run the bitcoind tests manually, launch src/test/test_bitcoin. To recompile
after a test file was modified, run make and then run the test again. If you
modify a non-test file, use make -C src/test to recompile only what's needed
to run the bitcoind tests.
To add more bitcoind tests, add BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE functions to the existing
.cpp files in the test/ directory or add new .cpp files that
implement new BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE sections.
To run the bitcoin-qt tests manually, launch src/qt/test/test_bitcoin-qt
To add more bitcoin-qt tests, add them to the src/qt/test/ directory and
the src/qt/test/test_main.cpp file.
Running individual tests
test_bitcoin has some built-in command-line arguments; for
example, to run just the getarg_tests verbosely:
The sources in this directory are unit test cases. Boost includes a
unit testing framework, and since bitcoin already uses boost, it makes
sense to simply use this framework rather than require developers to
configure some other framework (we want as few impediments to creating
unit tests as possible).
The build system is setup to compile an executable called test_bitcoin
that runs all of the unit tests. The main source file is called
setup_common.cpp. To add a new unit test file to our test suite you need
to add the file to src/Makefile.test.include. The pattern is to create
one test file for each class or source file for which you want to create
unit tests. The file naming convention is <source_filename>_tests.cpp
and such files should wrap their tests in a test suite
called <source_filename>_tests. For an example of this pattern,
examine uint256_tests.cpp.
