Unit tests no longer build by default (#320)

To build unit tests, the user must now explicitly request them to be built by setting the BUILD_TESTS CMake variable to true. When using the cmake command, this can be done by passing -DBUILD_TESTS=true as a command line argument. Alternatively, when using the build.sh script, the user can simply pass in the -t flag.

By making unit test builds opt-in, EOSIO now becomes an optional dependency of EOSIO.Contracts. Although it was always possible to build the contracts without installing EOSIO, many users were confused by the error messages that resulted when the process unsuccessfully attempted to build the unit tests. Now, users who do not care about the unit tests can easily build the contracts without seeing distracting error messages. They only need to satisfy the EOSIO.CDT dependency, which can be easily installed using the binaries. If users do wish to build unit tests, they will still be required to build and install the EOSIO dependency from source.

System contract

Configurable Inflation (#247, #301)

A new action setinflation has been added to the eosio.system contract. This action enables configuring the overall inflation rate as well as adjusting the fraction of the inflation that goes towards block producer pay versus accumulating in eosio.saving and the fraction of block producer pay that gets divided between block production rewards versus vote pay rewards.

Dependencies

This release depends on eosio.cdt v1.6.x and (optionally) on eosio v1.8.x. To compile the contracts in this release, first install eosio.cdt v1.6.2. To also compile the unit tests, first build and install eosio v1.8.1. The eosio.bios and eosio.system contracts in particular also require that the PREACTIVATE_FEATURE consensus protocol upgrade has been activated on the EOSIO blockchain before they can be deployed.
