Proof-of-Loss

* A more explicit definition of transaction rights.
* An overview of how the algorithm works.
* Preventing the same proof-of-loss from chaining consecutive blocks was not the purpose of the proof-of-loss context, which did it statistically rather than logically.
* The presence of that height in the block header made serial chaining easier to enforce, by removing the need to include additional block height information.
* Transaction prioritization (which now uses fees instead of rights).
* Inactivity fees.
