This PR simplifies the logic of chain tracer and also adds the unit tests.

The most important change has been made in this PR is the state management. Whenever a tracing state is acquired there is a corresponding release function be returned as well. It must be called once the state is used up, otherwise resource leaking can happen.

And also the logic of state management has been simplified a lot. Specifically, the state provider(eth backend, les backend) should ensure the state is available and referenced. State customers can use the state according to their own needs, or build other states based on the given state. But once the release function is called, there is no guarantee of the availability of the state.

size of is configurable using the `--cache.blocklogs` flag.

* eth/tracers: add slow path for getting legacy logs

* core/rawdb: fix test

This PR changes long-running chain tracing, so that it at some points releases the memory trie db, and switch over to a fresh disk-backed trie.

* eth,rpc: allow for flag configured timeouts for eth_call

* lint: account for package-local import order

* cr: rename `rpc.calltimeout` to `rpc.evmtimeout`

This removes some code:

- The clique engine calculated the snapshot twice when verifying headers/blocks.

- The method GetBlockHashesFromHash in Header/Block/Lightchain was only used by tests. It
  is now removed from the API.
  
- The method GetTdByHash internally looked up the number before calling GetTd(hash, num).
  In many cases, callers already had the number, and used this method just because it has a
  shorter name. I have removed the method to make the API surface smaller.

This PR prevents users from submitting transactions without EIP-155 enabled. This behaviour can be overridden by specifying the flag --rpc.allow-unprotected-txs=true. 

This moves the tracing RPC API implementation to package eth/tracers.
By doing so, package eth no longer depends on tracing and the duktape JS engine.

The change also enables tracing using the light client. All tracing methods work with the
light client, but it's a lot slower compared to using a full node.

This commit splits the eth package, separating the handling of eth and snap protocols. It also includes the capability to run snap sync (https://github.com/ethereum/devp2p/blob/master/caps/snap.md) , but does not enable it by default.

* all: core: split vm.Config into BlockConfig and TxConfig

* core: core/vm: reset EVM between tx in block instead of creating new

* core/vm: added docs

This PR significantly changes the APIs for instantiating Ethereum nodes in
a Go program. The new APIs are not backwards-compatible, but we feel that
this is made up for by the much simpler way of registering services on
node.Node. You can find more information and rationale in the design
document: https://gist.github.com/renaynay/5bec2de19fde66f4d04c535fd24f0775.

There is also a new feature in Node's Go API: it is now possible to
register arbitrary handlers on the user-facing HTTP server. In geth, this
facility is used to enable GraphQL.

There is a single minor change relevant for geth users in this PR: The
GraphQL API is no longer available separately from the JSON-RPC HTTP
server. If you want GraphQL, you need to enable it using the
./geth --http --graphql flag combination.

The --graphql.port and --graphql.addr flags are no longer available.

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.

* rpc, internal/ethapi: default rpc gascap at 50M + better error message

* eth,internal: make globalgascap uint64

* core/tests: fix compilation failure

* eth/config: gascap at 25M + minor review concerns

* cmd/utils, eth: add default value for gasprice cap

* all: use txfee cap

* cmd, eth: add fix

* cmd, internal: address comments

Prior to this change, eth_call changed the balance of the sender account in the
EVM environment to 2^256 wei to cover the gas cost of the call execution.
We've had this behavior for a long time even though it's super confusing.

This commit sets the default call gasprice to zero instead of updating the balance,
which is better because it makes eth_call semantics less surprising. Removing
the built-in balance assignment also makes balance overrides work as expected.

This change adds support for EIP-1898. 

* eth, interal, les: add getHeaderBy* APIs

* internal: address the comment

* eth, internal, les: getHeader nits, missing TD, console callable

* les, light: implement ODR transaction lookup by hash

* les: delete useless file

* internal/ethapi: always use backend to find transaction

* les, eth, internal/ethapi: renamed GetCanonicalTransaction to GetTransaction

* light: add canonical header verification to GetTransaction

This change makes getBalance, getCode, getStorageAt, getProof,
call, getTransactionCount return an error if the block number in
the request doesn't exist. getHeaderByNumber still returns null
for missing headers.

* eth, les, geth: implement cli-configurable global gas cap for RPC calls

* graphql, ethapi: place gas cap in DoCall

* ethapi: reformat log message

* cmd, accounts, internal, node, rpc, signer: insecure unlock protect

* all: strict unlock API by rpc

* cmd/geth: check before printing warning log

* accounts, cmd/geth, internal: tiny polishes

Until this commit, when sending an RPC request that called `NewEVM`, a blank `vm.Config`
would be taken so as to set some options, based on the default configuration. If some extra
configuration switches were passed to the blockchain, those would be ignored.

This PR adds a function to get the config from the blockchain, and this is what is now used
for RPC calls.

Some subsequent changes need to be made, see https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/17955#pullrequestreview-182237244
for the details of the discussion.
