Felix Lange 37dd9086ec core: refactor genesis handling
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.

Felix Lange 5c8fe28b72 common: move big integer math to common/math (#3699)
* 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

Jeffrey Wilcke c12f4df910 params: core, core/vm, miner: 64bit gas instructions
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

Jeffrey Wilcke 445feaeef5 core, core/state, trie: EIP158, reprice & skip empty account write
This commit implements EIP158 part 1, 2, 3 & 4

1. If an account is empty it's no longer written to the trie. An empty
  account is defined as (balance=0, nonce=0, storage=0, code=0).
2. Delete an empty account if it's touched
3. An empty account is redefined as either non-existent or empty.
4. Zero value calls and zero value suicides no longer consume the 25k
  reation costs.

params: moved core/config to params

Jeffrey Wilcke f0cbebb19f core: added basic chain configuration
Added chain configuration options and write out during genesis database
insertion. If no "config" was found, nothing is written to the database.

Configurations are written on a per genesis base. This means
that any chain (which is identified by it's genesis hash) can have their
own chain settings.

Jeffrey Wilcke a1d9ef48c5 core, eth, rpc: split out block validator and state processor
This removes the burden on a single object to take care of all
validation and state processing. Now instead the validation is done by
the `core.BlockValidator` (`types.Validator`) that takes care of both
header and uncle validation through the `ValidateBlock` method and state
validation through the `ValidateState` method. The state processing is
done by a new object `core.StateProcessor` (`types.Processor`) and
accepts a new state as input and uses that to process the given block's
transactions (and uncles for rewords) to calculate the state root for
the next block (P_n + 1).

Jeffrey Wilcke eaa4473dbd core, core/types: readd transactions after chain re-org
Added a `Difference` method to `types.Transactions` which sets the
receiver to the difference of a to b (NOTE: not a **and** b).

Transaction pool subscribes to RemovedTransactionEvent adding back to
those potential missing from the chain.

When a chain re-org occurs remove any transactions that were removed
from the canonical chain during the re-org as well as the receipts that
were generated in the process.

Closes #1746
