From the FreeBSD architecture handbook (https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/arch-handbook/jail-restrictions.html) as it relates to `allow.sysvipc`, "By default, this sysctl is set to 0. If it were set to 1, it would defeat the whole purpose of having a jail; privileged users from the jail would be able to affect processes outside the jailed environment." This is undesirable behavior.
Per `man jail`, regarding `allow.sysvipc`, "A process within the jail has access to System V primitives. This is deprecated in favor of the per-module parameters."
Since FreeBSD 11, the new way to deal with this (the per-module parameters) is with: `sysvshm`, for shared memory, `sysvsem`, for semaphores, and `sysvmsg`, for message queues. These can be set selectively to either `disable`; `inherit`, for the previous behavior (problematic due to UID collision, apparently); and `new`, for new behavior that avoids the UID collision problem.
Monero only uses semaphores, therefore we should recommend that jails be run with `sysvsem="new"` in the jail's jail.conf. Tested on FreeBSD 12.1.
Also, Monero is now able to be downloaded as a package or built from ports as `monero-cli` with a versioned suffix. It's got `Monero 'Carbon Chamaeleon' (v0.15.0.1-release)` as of right now, and it's been there 2-3 months, meaning it's currently and timely.

- e.g., fixes gen_block_big_major_version test, error: generation failed: what=events not set, cannot compute valid RandomX PoW
- ask for events only if difficulty > 1 (when it really matters)
- throwing an exception changed to logging, so it is easy to spot a problem if tests start to fail.
