This prevents concurrent assignment of identical nonces when automatic
assignment is used.

core/vm: allocate stack to 1024

Pre allocate the stack to 1024 optimising stack pushing, reducing calls
to runtime.makeslice and runtime.mallocgc

Enforce 256 bit keys on raw import, support raw mobile imports

consensus, core/*, params: metropolis preparation refactor

cmd/faucet: fix a few typos

Also add the package to the license tool ignore list.

cmd/geth: reintroduce wallet import subcommand

mobile: manage FilterQuery enabling contract events subscription

Byte padding function should return the given slice if the length is
smaller or equal rather than *only* smaller than.

This fix improves almost all EVM push operations.

Improve the duplication method of the stack to reuse big ints by passing
in an existing integer pool.

Improved push instructions by removing unnecessary big int allocations
and by making it int instead of big.Int

More context in the bug This solves the problems of transactions being
submitted simultaneously, and getting the same nonce, due to the gap (due to
signing) between nonce-issuance and nonce-update. With this PR, a lock will
need to be acquired whenever a nonce is used, and released when the transaction
is submitted or errors out.

Add the object to the list of destructed objects during a selfdestruct /
suicide operation and also remove it from the list once the journal
reverts.

This commit is a preparation for the upcoming metropolis hardfork. It
prepares the state, core and vm packages such that integration with
metropolis becomes less of a hassle.

* Difficulty calculation requires header instead of individual
  parameters
* statedb.StartRecord renamed to statedb.Prepare and added Finalise
  method required by metropolis, which removes unwanted accounts from
  the state (i.e. selfdestruct)
* State keeps record of destructed objects (in addition to dirty
  objects)
* core/vm pre-compiles may now return errors
* core/vm pre-compiles gas check now take the full byte slice as argument
  instead of just the size
* core/vm now keeps several hard-fork instruction tables instead of a
  single instruction table and removes the need for hard-fork checks in
  the instructions
* core/vm contains a empty restruction function which is added in
  preparation of metropolis write-only mode operations
* Adds the bn256 curve
* Adds and sets the metropolis chain config block parameters (2^64-1)

execQueue used an atomic counter to track whether the queue had been
closed, but the checking the counter didn't happen because the queue was
blocked on its channel.

Fix it by using a condition variable instead of sync/atomic. I tried an
implementation based on channels first, but it was hard to make it
reliable.

quit now waits for the queue loop to exit.

Previously, resolve errors were being swallowed and the returned error
was a generic "not a content hash" which isn't helpful.

This updates the Resolve function to fail fast rather than only
returning an error at the end, and also adds test coverage.
