containers/docker: use shallow clone of single branch

eth/downloader: fix the stall checks/drops during sync

rpc: add new client, use it everywhere

eth, eth/downloader, eth/fetcher: delete eth/61 sync code

The new client implementation supports concurrent requests,
subscriptions and replaces the various ad hoc RPC clients
throughout go-ethereum.

If a batch request contained an invalid method, the server would reply
with a non-batch error response. Fix this by tracking an error for each
batch element.

The server delayed closing of connections for 3s when stopping. This was
supposed to allow for slow handlers, but it didn't really work. When
geth quits, it will just exit immediately after quitting the server.

Removing the timer makes testing easier because all connections will be
closed after Stop returns.

eth/api: rename signAndSendTransaction to sendTransaction

The eth/61 protocol was disabled in #2776, this commit removes its
message handlers and hash-chain sync logic.

Godeps, rpc: switch back to package npipe

This adds compatibility with Go 1.7, where context has
moved into the standard library.

The named pipe implementation from go-winio has some issues
that need to be addressed before we can use it again.
