j-berman ea87b30f89 Add view tags to outputs to reduce wallet scanning time ...

Implements view tags as proposed by @UkoeHB in MRL issue
https://github.com/monero-project/research-lab/issues/73

At tx construction, the sender adds a 1-byte view tag to each
output. The view tag is derived from the sender-receiver
shared secret. When scanning for outputs, the receiver can
check the view tag for a match, in order to reduce scanning
time. When the view tag does not match, the wallet avoids the
more expensive EC operations when deriving the output public
key using the shared secret.
