This is a temporary fix, better checks need to
be performed once the whole process has been
validated.

Instead, use a go library that communicates with pcscd over a socket.

This PR makes it easy to generate and execute testcases for VM arithmetic operations. By enabling and running the testcase TestWriteExpectedValues, a set of json files are created which contain input and output for each arith operation.
The test TestJsonTestcases executes all of those tests.

While meaningless as is, this PR makes it less risky to make changes (optimizations) to the vm operations, since there will be a larger body of testcases.

* all: simplify timestamps to uint64

* tests: update definitions

* clef, faucet, mobile: leftover uint64 fixups

* ethash: fix tests
