Add the Bitcoin Unlimited client to the altcoins directory, so that all sides of the Bitcoin scaling debate are represented.
Motivation for this change
There is a scaling debate going on in Bitcoin. Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Unlimited are the two most popular reference clients representing the two sides of the debate.
The currently less popular bitcoin-classic and bitcoin-xt are already in the package repository, it's time to add bitcoin-unlimited.
The bitcoin-unlimited package code is mostly a copy of bitcoin-classic, with appropriate modifications for the source repository, and version tags.
Was able to build and install the package on a NixOS machine, then run the GUI client & download the first few blocks of the blockchain.
