internal/debug: APIs for profiling and tracing

core, core/types, miner: fix transaction nonce-price combo sort

The debug package provides an RPC wrapper for glog settings and the
debugging facilities of the Go runtime. They can be triggered through
both command line flags and the IPC listener.

The "result" field of JSON-RPC 2.0 responses was omitted
if the result was nil, causing exceptions in web3.js.

logger/glog: improve vmodule

separate and optimize Dockerfile for master and develop

This change allows setting the verbosity for directory prefixes
using the syntax:

    --vmodule=eth/=6

core/vm: resolve circular dependency to debug vm storage

console: add admin.sleep and admin.sleepBlocks

Nodeinfo format Genesis and Header

core/state: always commit in batches, just finish if not needed later

core: fix invalid state reuse in chain maker based tests

common: Fix HomeDir detection

I am working on porting geth to [Ubuntu Core](https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/). I am testing geth on a Raspberry PI and for Ubuntu Core the $HOME directory is unique for each application. See [here](https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/guides/filesystem-layout) for more information of their filesystem layout.

For some reason in Go `usr.HomeDir` returns a different value than `$HOME` in Ubuntu Core.

Adding this at the end of `HomeDir()`
```go
fmt.Printf("at HomeDir, user.HomeDir = %s and $HOME is %s\n", usr.HomeDir, os.Getenv("HOME"))
```

gives the following output

```
at HomeDir, user.HomeDir = /home/ubuntu and $HOME is /home/ubuntu/apps/geth.sideload/IJcODREBYbHO
```

With this commit, I propose giving precedence to the `$HOME` environment variable as is also suggested by the [homedir](https://github.com/mitchellh/go-homedir/blob/master/homedir.go) project.

In order to make this happen, kill all remaining trivial uses of
common/{rlp,value}.go. The non-trivial ones have been updated earlier.
