core, eth, les, light: get rid of redundant methods

ethdb: reset the batch size too on reset

* leveldb: Update leveldb to 211f780 (poolfix)

* core, ethdb: reuse database batches

* whisper: message format changed

* whisper: tests fixed

* whisper: style fixes

* whisper: fixed names, fixed failing tests

* whisper: fix merge issue in #15870

Occured while using the github online merge tool. Lesson learned.

* whisper: fix a gofmt error for #15870

* ethapi: add personal.signTransaction

* ethapi: refactor to minimize duplicate code

* ethapi: make nonce,gas,gasPrice obligatory in signTransaction

* whisper: fixes warnings from the code linter

* whisper: more non-API-breaking changes

The remaining lint errors are because of auto-generated
files and one is because an exported function has a non-
exported return type. Changing this would break the API,
and will be part of another commit for easier reversal.

* whisper: un-export NewSentMessage to please the linter

This is an API change, which is why it's in its own commit.
This change was initiated after the linter complained that
the returned type wasn't exported. I chose to un-export
the function instead of exporting the type, because that
type is an implementation detail that I would like to
change in the near future to make the code more
readable and with an increased coverage.

* whisper: update gencodec output after upgrading it to new lint standards

* whisper: fix empty topic

* whisper: add check to matchSingleTopic

* whisper: add tests

* whisper: fix gosimple

* whisper: added lastTopicByte const

* rpc: Support specifying HTTP client in RPC dialing

Adds a minimal interface that captures http.Client and adds a new method
rpc.DialHTTPClient that takes a client using that interface. The existing
rpc.DialHTTP method is then alternatively implemented by using the new
rpc.DialHTTPClient method provided with a standard *http.Client.

* rpc: fix minor doc typos

p2p/discv5: logs info about discv5 node info at bind time

* consensus/ethash: add maxEpoch constant

* consensus/ethash: improve cache/dataset handling

There are two fixes in this commit:

Unmap the memory through a finalizer like the libethash wrapper did. The
release logic was incorrect and freed the memory while it was being
used, leading to crashes like in #14495 or #14943.

Track caches and datasets using simplelru instead of reinventing LRU
logic. This should make it easier to see whether it's correct.

* consensus/ethash: restore 'future item' logic in lru

* consensus/ethash: use mmap even in test mode

This makes it possible to shorten the time taken for TestCacheFileEvict.

* consensus/ethash: shuffle func calc*Size comments around

* consensus/ethash: ensure future cache/dataset is in the lru cache

* consensus/ethash: add issue link to the new test

* consensus/ethash: fix vet

* consensus/ethash: fix test

* consensus: tiny issue + nitpick fixes

core: sorted reorg insertion order for proper head header updating

This commit affects p2p/discv5 "topic discovery" by running it on
the same UDP port where the old discovery works. This is realized
by giving an "unhandled" packet channel to the old v4 discovery
packet handler where all invalid packets are sent. These packets
are then processed by v5. v5 packets are always invalid when
interpreted by v4 and vice versa. This is ensured by adding one
to the first byte of the packet hash in v5 packets.

DiscoveryV5Bootnodes is also changed to point to new bootnodes
that are implementing the changed packet format with modified
hash. Existing and new v5 bootnodes are both running on different
ports ATM.

core/vm: Fix comment typo
