Jeffrey Wilcke bbc4ea4ae8 core/vm: improved EVM run loop & instruction calling (#3378)
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.

Jeffrey Wilcke 3fc7c97827 core, core/vm: implemented a generic environment (#3348)
Environment is now a struct (not an interface). This
reduces a lot of tech-debt throughout the codebase where a virtual
machine environment had to be implemented in order to test or run it.

The new environment is suitable to be used en the json tests, core
consensus and light client.

Yoichi Hirai bb6115b737 vm, ethapi: add `limit` option to traceTransaction
that specifies the maximum number of elements in the `structLogs`
output.  This option is useful for debugging a transaction that
involves a large number of repetition.

For example,
```
debug.traceTransaction(tx, {disableStorage: true, limit: 2})
```
shows at most the first two steps in the `structLogs`.

Nick Johnson 781915f183 core/vm: Refactor tracing to make Tracer the main interface
This CL makes several refactors:
 - Define a Tracer interface, implementing the `CaptureState` method
 - Add the VM environment as the first argument of
   `Tracer.CaptureState`
 - Rename existing functionality `StructLogger` an make it an
   implementation of `Tracer`
 - Delete `StructLogCollector` and make `StructLogger` collect the logs
   directly
 - Change all callers to use the new `StructLogger` where necessary and
   extract logs from that.
 - Deletes the apparently obsolete and likely nonfunctional 'TraceCall'
   from the eth API.

Callers that only wish accumulated logs can use the `StructLogger`
implementation straightforwardly. Callers that wish to efficiently
capture VM traces and operate on them without excessive copying can now
implement the `Tracer` interface to receive VM state at each step and
do with it as they wish.

This CL also removes the accumulation of logs from the vm.Environment;
this was necessary as part of the refactor, but also simplifies it by
removing a responsibility that doesn't directly belong to the
Environment.

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 14013372ae core: Added EVM configuration options
The EVM is now initialised with an additional configured object that
allows you to turn on debugging options.

Jeffrey Wilcke 361082ec4b cmd/evm, core/vm, test: refactored VM and core
* Moved `vm.Transfer` to `core` package and changed execution to call
`env.Transfer` instead of `core.Transfer` directly.
* core/vm: byte code VM moved to jump table instead of switch
* Moved `vm.Transfer` to `core` package and changed execution to call
  `env.Transfer` instead of `core.Transfer` directly.
* Byte code VM now shares the same code as the JITVM
* Renamed Context to Contract
* Changed initialiser of state transition & unexported methods
* Removed the Execution object and refactor `Call`, `CallCode` &
  `Create` in to their own functions instead of being methods.
* Removed the hard dep on the state for the VM. The VM now
  depends on a Database interface returned by the environment. In the
  process the core now depends less on the statedb by usage of the env
* Moved `Log` from package `core/state` to package `core/vm`.

Felix Lange bfbcfbe4a9 all: fix license headers one more time
I forgot to update one instance of "go-ethereum" in commit 3f047be5a.

Felix Lange 3f047be5aa all: update license headers to distiguish GPL/LGPL
All code outside of cmd/ is licensed as LGPL. The headers
now reflect this by calling the whole work "the go-ethereum library".
