This is the initial implementation of EIP-1559 in packages core/types and core.
Mining, RPC, etc. will be added in subsequent commits.

* build: upgrade to golangci-lint v1.39.0

* consensus/ethash: fix go vet warning regarding reflect.SliceHeader

* eth/catalyst: fix lint issue

* consensus/ethash: fix bug in memoryMapFile

This change adds the --catalyst flag, enabling an RPC API for eth2 integration.
In this initial version, catalyst mode also disables all peer-to-peer networking.

The PR implements the --miner.notify.full flag that enables full pending block
notifications. When this flag is used, the block notifications sent to mining
endpoints contain the complete block header JSON instead of a work package
array.

The PR makes use of the stacktrie, which is is more lenient on resource consumption, than the regular trie, in cases where we only need it for DeriveSha

This PR implements the following modifications

- Don't shortcut check if block is present, thus avoid disk lookup
- Don't check hash ancestry in early-check (it's still done in parallel checker)
- Don't check time.Now for every single header

Charts and background info can be found here: https://github.com/holiman/headerimport/blob/main/README.md
With these changes, writing 1M headers goes down to from 80s to 62s.

It seems that the 2 second timeout is not enough for Travis CI:

   --- FAIL: TestTestMode (2.00s)
       ethash_test.go:53: sealing result timeout

This PR adds re-written difficulty calculators, which are based on uint256. It also adds a fuzzer + oss-fuzz integration for the new fuzzer. It does differential fuzzing between the new and old calculators.

Note: this PR does not actually enable the new calculators.

* consensus/ethash: only use *reflect.SliceHeader, not reflect.SliceHeader. See comment here: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/40397\#issuecomment-663748689

making the code easier to read.

This change introduces garbage collection for the light client. Historical
chain data is deleted periodically. If you want to disable the GC, use
the --light.nopruning flag.
