    [doc] Initial getblocktemplatelight specification · b4eb448f

    Summary:
    ---
    
    Two new light-weight RPC calls were added:  `getblocktemplatelight` and `submitblocklight`.
    These RPCs reduce the round-trip time for mining software when retrieving new block templates.
    Transaction data is never sent between mining software and `bitcoind`.  Instead, `job_id`'s
    are returned and `bitcoind` later reconstructs the full block based on this `job_id` and the
    solved header + coinbase submitted by the miner, leading to more efficient mining.
    
    This is the specification for these RPC calls.
