Soft forking bugfix

This release fixes a problem with the original STEEM codebase.

Witness nodes should upgrade in order to keep malformed transactions from entering the block chain. As of now, no such transactions have been observed, however, if some appear then all nodes must upgrade within a week.

This release fixes a bug in the 0.3.0 release that would cause nodes to hang after a restart, unless option --replay-blockchain was used.
