Difficulty calculation

Due to the way current hashrate is estimated, the difficulty for PoW solutions can grow disproportionately. (The positive error in hashrate is 'accumulated' into each next predicted hashrate, thus quickly raising the difficulty.)
The fix is being worked upon and should be committed sometime in the next day or so, but it will not be activated until 0.6 and block version v2.

There are still some strange issues even with v2 smoothing.
Looking into a different algorithms for this calculation.
