This commit does various code refactorings:

- generalizes and moves the request retrieval/timeout/resend logic out of LesOdr
  (will be used by a subsequent PR)
- reworks the peer management logic so that all services can register with
  peerSet to get notified about added/dropped peers (also gets rid of the ugly
  getAllPeers callback in requestDistributor)
- moves peerSet, LesOdr, requestDistributor and retrieveManager initialization
  out of ProtocolManager because I believe they do not really belong there and the
  whole init process was ugly and ad-hoc

execQueue used an atomic counter to track whether the queue had been
closed, but the checking the counter didn't happen because the queue was
blocked on its channel.

Fix it by using a condition variable instead of sync/atomic. I tried an
implementation based on channels first, but it was hard to make it
reliable.

quit now waits for the queue loop to exit.

Currently http cors and websocket origins are a comma separated string in the
config object. These are replaced with string arrays that are more expressive in
case of a config file.

* p2p/discover, p2p/discv5: add marshaling methods to Node

* p2p/netutil: make Netlist decodable from TOML

* common/math: encode nil HexOrDecimal256 as 0x0

* cmd/geth: add --config file flag

* cmd/geth: add missing license header

* eth: prettify Config again, fix tests

* eth: use gasprice.Config instead of duplicating its fields

* eth/gasprice: hide nil default from dumpconfig output

* cmd/geth: hide genesis block in dumpconfig output

* node: make tests compile

* console: fix tests

* cmd/geth: make TOML keys look exactly like Go struct fields

* p2p: use discovery by default

This makes the zero Config slightly more useful. It also fixes package
node tests because Node detects reuse of the datadir through the
NodeDatabase.

* cmd/geth: make ethstats URL settable through config file

* cmd/faucet: fix configuration

* cmd/geth: dedup attach tests

* eth: add comment for DefaultConfig

* eth: pass downloader.SyncMode in Config

This removes the FastSync, LightSync flags in favour of a more
general SyncMode flag.

* cmd/utils: remove jitvm flags

* cmd/utils: make mutually exclusive flag error prettier

It now reads:

   Fatal: flags --dev, --testnet can't be used at the same time

* p2p: fix typo

* node: add DefaultConfig, use it for geth

* mobile: add missing NoDiscovery option

* cmd/utils: drop MakeNode

This exposed a couple of places that needed to be updated to use
node.DefaultConfig.

* node: fix typo

* eth: make fast sync the default mode

* cmd/utils: remove IPCApiFlag (unused)

* node: remove default IPC path

Set it in the frontends instead.

* cmd/geth: add --syncmode

* cmd/utils: make --ipcdisable and --ipcpath mutually exclusive

* cmd/utils: don't enable WS, HTTP when setting addr

* cmd/utils: fix --identity

* consensus, core, ethstats: use engine specific block beneficiary

* core, eth, les, miner: use explicit beneficiary during mining

* cmd, les, eth, eth/gasprice: using new gas price oracle

* eth/gasprice: renamed source file

* eth/gasprice: added security checks for gpo params

* eth/gasprice: fixed naming issues

* eth/gasprice: max limit, maxEmpty

This commit adds pluggable consensus engines to go-ethereum. In short, it
introduces a generic consensus interface, and refactors the entire codebase to
use this interface.

This commit solves several issues concerning the genesis block:

* Genesis/ChainConfig loading was handled by cmd/geth code. This left
  library users in the cold. They could specify a JSON-encoded
  string and overwrite the config, but didn't get any of the additional
  checks performed by geth.
* Decoding and writing of genesis JSON was conflated in
  WriteGenesisBlock. This made it a lot harder to embed the genesis
  block into the forthcoming config file loader. This commit changes
  things so there is a single Genesis type that represents genesis
  blocks. All uses of Write*Genesis* are changed to use the new type
  instead.
* If the chain config supplied by the user was incompatible with the
  current chain (i.e. the chain had already advanced beyond a scheduled
  fork), it got overwritten. This is not an issue in practice because
  previous forks have always had the highest total difficulty. It might
  matter in the future though. The new code reverts the local chain to
  the point of the fork when upgrading configuration.

The change to genesis block data removes compression library
dependencies from package core.

There is no need to depend on the old context package now that the
minimum Go version is 1.7. The move to "context" eliminates our weird
vendoring setup. Some vendored code still uses golang.org/x/net/context
and it is now vendored in the normal way.

This change triggered new vet checks around context.WithTimeout which
didn't fire with golang.org/x/net/context.

* les: implement request distributor, fix blocking issues
* core: moved header validation before chain mutex lock

* common: remove CurrencyToString

Move denomination values to params instead.

* common: delete dead code

* common: move big integer operations to common/math

This commit consolidates all big integer operations into common/math and
adds tests and documentation.

There should be no change in semantics for BigPow, BigMin, BigMax, S256,
U256, Exp and their behaviour is now locked in by tests.

The BigD, BytesToBig and Bytes2Big functions don't provide additional
value, all uses are replaced by new(big.Int).SetBytes().

BigToBytes is now called PaddedBigBytes, its minimum output size
parameter is now specified as the number of bytes instead of bits. The
single use of this function is in the EVM's MSTORE instruction.

Big and String2Big are replaced by ParseBig, which is slightly stricter.
It previously accepted leading zeros for hexadecimal inputs but treated
decimal inputs as octal if a leading zero digit was present.

ParseUint64 is used in places where String2Big was used to decode a
uint64.

The new functions MustParseBig and MustParseUint64 are now used in many
places where parsing errors were previously ignored.

* common: delete unused big integer variables

* accounts/abi: replace uses of BytesToBig with use of encoding/binary

* common: remove BytesToBig

* common: remove Bytes2Big

* common: remove BigTrue

* cmd/utils: add BigFlag and use it for error-checked integer flags

While here, remove environment variable processing for DirectoryFlag
because we don't use it.

* core: add missing error checks in genesis block parser

* common: remove String2Big

* cmd/evm: use utils.BigFlag

* common/math: check for 256 bit overflow in ParseBig

This is supposed to prevent silent overflow/truncation of values in the
genesis block JSON. Without this check, a genesis block that set a
balance larger than 256 bits would lead to weird behaviour in the VM.

* cmd/utils: fixup import

Reworked the EVM gas instructions to use 64bit integers rather than
arbitrary size big ints. All gas operations, be it additions,
multiplications or divisions, are checked and guarded against 64 bit
integer overflows.

In additon, most of the protocol paramaters in the params package have
been converted to uint64 and are now constants rather than variables.

* common/math: added overflow check ops
* core: vmenv, env renamed to evm
* eth, internal/ethapi, les: unmetered eth_call and cancel methods
* core/vm: implemented big.Int pool for evm instructions
* core/vm: unexported intPool methods & verification methods
* core/vm: added memoryGasCost overflow check and test

This reverts commit 8b57c494.

This significantly reduces the dependency closure of ethclient, which no
longer depends on core/vm as of this change.

All uses of vm.Logs are replaced by []*types.Log. NewLog is gone too,
the constructor simply returned a literal.

les/flowcontrol: using proper types for relative and absolute times

The run loop, which previously contained custom opcode executes have been
removed and has been simplified to a few checks.

Each operation consists of 4 elements: execution function, gas cost function,
stack validation function and memory size function. The execution function
implements the operation's runtime behaviour, the gas cost function implements
the operation gas costs function and greatly depends on the memory and stack,
the stack validation function validates the stack and makes sure that enough
items can be popped off and pushed on and the memory size function calculates
the memory required for the operation and returns it.

This commit also allows the EVM to go unmetered. This is helpful for offline
operations such as contract calls.

This change couldn't be automated because HexNumber was used for numbers
of all sizes.
