Minor Additions: Payment Req Generator & 210,000 Block Halving

Two unrelated minor additions which were requested at nearly the same
time.

* @mikehearn requested we add a link to @gavinandresen's PaymentRequest
  generator. Added to _includes/guide_payment_processing.md with link
  definition in _includes/references.md

* @Burrito-Bazooka requested we mention that the block reward halves
  every 210,000 blocks. Added to _includes/ref_block_chain.md

All blocks with a block height less than 6,930,000 are entitled to
receive a [block reward][]{:#term-block-reward}{:.term} of newly created bitcoin value, which also
should be spent in the coinbase transaction. (The block reward started
at 50 bitcoins and is being halved approximately every four years. As of
April 2014, it's 25 bitcoins.) A coinbase transaction is invalid if it
at 50 bitcoins and is being halved every 210,000 blocks---approximately once every four years. As of
June 2014, it's 25 bitcoins.) A coinbase transaction is invalid if it
tries to spend more value than is available from the transaction
fees and block reward.
