-Remove unused function main:VerifySignature (Class CScriptCheck is being used directly instead.)
-Remove CScriptCheck::nHashType (was always 0)

Untested ACK.

I've always wondered what the nHashType flag was for, really...

Removed nHashType from EvalScript and CheckSig as well. Maybe I can unify some of the commits (all of them?)

This was the only place where something different from 0 (SIGHASH_NONE = 2) was passed down, but the tests are running just fine without passing it.

@sipa nHashType is useful to determine what hash types are being used in scriptSigs; I'm actually working on a patch to eliminate a SIGHASH_ANYONECANPAY-related DoS attack that needs it. That said, it might be more useful to have a mechanism the hash types used are added to a list, or for that matter, a generic callback is called to let the callee apply whatever logic they need.

@petertodd I'm not convinced that's currently a use case worth keeping the nHashType parameter for, especially as the implementation is not certain.

@sipa Yeah, a sighash callback probably makes more sense and keeps more code out of the consensus critical section.

So untested ACK.

Tested ACK. Did a testnet sync from scratch with it (which likely has more cases of odd hashtypes than mainnet).
