cmd/utils: don't check for stderr redirect on windows

The redirect check did not work on Go 1.6 and below because Stat
returned an error for stdout and stderr. In Go 1.7 Stat works on stdout
but doesn't return anything meaningful, causing cmd/geth test failures
because the message is printed to stderr only. Fix it by printing to
stdout only.

build: limit test concurrency

TravisCI and AppVeyor run the tests in very slow VMs.
Some of our tests can't cope with that. Running less tests
in parallel should make them somewhat less flakey.

accounts/abi: fix typo in the comment (dummy commit)

State caching
