Subject: Add chainstate obfuscation to avoid spurious antivirus detection

Adds an `obfuscate` parameter to `CLevelDBWrapper` and makes use of it
for all new chainstate stores built via `CCoinsViewDB`. Also adds an
`Xor` method to `CDataStream`.

Thanks to @sipa @laanwj @pstratem @dexX7 @KyrosKrane @gmaxwell.
