(#1655) * [CORDA-624] Node Explorer on Issuing cash throws MissingContractAttachements exception (#1656) (cherry picked from commit 27fea4d) * BIGINT fix for H2 coin selection. (#1658) * BIGINT fix for H2 coin selection. * Review feedback * CORDA-637 Node Explorer shows Network Map Service in Cash Issue dropdown (#1665) * [CORDA-637] Node Explorer shows Network Map Service in Cash Issue dropdown * add TODO to remove the hack * Declare this internal message string as "const".

This is useful when used in combination with the "Highlight public declarations with missing KDoc" inspection. * Ironic: upgrade the version of the Gradle plugin that checks for upgraded versions of things. It had broken due being incompatible with the new versions of Gradle itself. * Docs: flesh out javadocs on ServiceHub * Docs: add @suppress to a few things that were polluting the Dokka docs. * Docs: mention RPC access in NodeInfo javadoc * IRS Fixes to bring UI closer to declared financial types (#1662) * Made problematic CordaRPCClient c'tor private (with internal bridge methods) and added correct c'tors for public use. (#1653) initialiseSerialization param has also been removed. * Fixing flow snapshot feature (#1685) * Fix validating notary flow to handle notary change transactions properly. (#1687) Add a notary change test for checking longer chains involving both regular and notary change transactions. * Unification of VaultQuery And VaultService APIs (into single VaultService interface) to simplify node bootstrapping and usability.

Added scheduled flow support to cordapp. Renabled broken test. Fixed test to prove cordapps aren't retreived from network. Review fixes. Fixed a test issue caused by gradle having slightly different paths to IntelliJ * Fixed test for real this time. * Consistent use of CordaException and CordaRuntimeException (#1710) * Custom exceptions in corda, should either derive from an appropriate closely related java exception, or CordaException, or CordaRuntimeException. They should not inherit just from Exception, or RuntimeException. Handle PR comments Add nicer constructors to CordaException and CordaRuntimeException * Fix ambiguous defaulted constructor * Add @suppress (#1725) * Git-ignore Node Explorer config.
