* 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

This PR implements a differenceIterator, which allows iterating over trie nodes
that exist in one trie but not in another. This is a prerequisite for most GC
strategies, in order to find obsolete nodes.

Removed exported statedb object accessors, reducing the chance for nasty
bugs to creep in. It's also ugly and unnecessary to have these methods.

* vendor: add github.com/btcsuite/btcd/btcec

* crypto: add btcec fallback for sign/recover without cgo

This commit adds a non-cgo fallback implementation of secp256k1
operations.

* crypto, core/vm: remove wrappers for sha256, ripemd160

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

* core,eth,internal: Added `debug_getBadBlocks()` method

When bad blocks are discovered, these are stored within geth.
An RPC-endpoint makes them availablewithin the `debug`
namespace. This feature makes it easier to discover network forks.

```

* core, api: go format + docs

* core/blockchain: Documentation, fix minor nitpick

* core: fix failing blockchain test

This reverts commit 8b57c494.

We must take a write lock here because `GetNonce` calls
`StateDB.GetStateObject`, which mutates the DB's live set.

The Subscription type is gone, all uses are replaced by
*TypeMuxSubscription. This change is prep-work for the
introduction of the new Subscription type in a later commit.

   gorename -from '"github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/event"::Event' -to TypeMuxEvent
   gorename -from '"github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/event"::muxsub' -to TypeMuxSubscription
   gofmt -w -r 'Subscription -> *TypeMuxSubscription' ./event/*.go
   find . -name '*.go' -and -not -regex '\./vendor/.*' \| xargs gofmt -w -r 'event.Subscription -> *event.TypeMuxSubscription'

This is to be able to set `pre`-state when performing blockchain tests through Hive, we need to be able to set the nonce.

Removal of dead code that appeard as if we had a consensus issue. This
however is not the case as the proper error catching happens in the vm
package instead.

* core: Made logging of reorgs more structured, also always log if reorg is > 63 blocks long

* core/blockchain: go fmt

* core/blockchain: Minor fixes to the reorg reporting

go get github.com/gordonklaus/ineffassign
ineffassign .

This removes the core/types -> leveldb dependency.

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.

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.

To address increasing complexity in code that handles signatures, this PR
discards all notion of "different" signature types at the library level. Both
the crypto and accounts package is reduced to only be able to produce plain
canonical secp256k1 signatures. This makes the crpyto APIs much cleaner,
simpler and harder to abuse.
