Steem recovered from the hf20 fork thanks to abit and its emergency patches

After the hf20 fork was activated, blocks that produced by hf20 nodes were not accepted anymore by hf19 nodes. This lead to a fork and as the exchanges are on hf19, it was decided to move to the hf19 chain.

Thank to Hive account@abit and its four patches:

• checkpoint fix
• 2048 fork db fix
• plus 2048
• filter out blocks on the bad fork

Hive account@gtg was able to start the steem blockchain again together with Hive account@abit. Then Hive account@roelandp could also jump in and the steem block production was slowly starting again.

I voted for Hive account@abit as witness now, to express my gratitude that he saved steem :).

After downgrading to 0.19.12 and applying the patches, my witness server is running again. Now, I'm waiting for official patches.
