'encode' and 'decode' are meaningless because the code deals with three
encodings. Document the encodings and give a name to each one.

The key was constructed from nibbles, which isn't possible for all
nodes. Remove the only use of Key in LightTrie by always retrying with
the original key that was looked up.

cmd/geth: update flag groups in the geth command usage

common/compiler: add metadata output for solc > 0.4.6

build: bump launchpad builds to Go 1.8.1

Fixes #3608

consensus/ethash: simplify concurrency in VerifyHeaders

Currently http cors and websocket origins are a comma separated string in the
config object. These are replaced with string arrays that are more expressive in
case of a config file.

This change removes a convoluted use of sync/atomic from VerifyHeaders.
It also fixes the annoying error about future blocks.

The genesis block doesn't have a valid ancestor.

cmd/rlpdump: support dumping only the first entity

* p2p/discover, p2p/discv5: add marshaling methods to Node

* p2p/netutil: make Netlist decodable from TOML

* common/math: encode nil HexOrDecimal256 as 0x0

* cmd/geth: add --config file flag

* cmd/geth: add missing license header

* eth: prettify Config again, fix tests

* eth: use gasprice.Config instead of duplicating its fields

* eth/gasprice: hide nil default from dumpconfig output

* cmd/geth: hide genesis block in dumpconfig output

* node: make tests compile

* console: fix tests

* cmd/geth: make TOML keys look exactly like Go struct fields

* p2p: use discovery by default

This makes the zero Config slightly more useful. It also fixes package
node tests because Node detects reuse of the datadir through the
NodeDatabase.

* cmd/geth: make ethstats URL settable through config file

* cmd/faucet: fix configuration

* cmd/geth: dedup attach tests

* eth: add comment for DefaultConfig

* eth: pass downloader.SyncMode in Config

This removes the FastSync, LightSync flags in favour of a more
general SyncMode flag.

* cmd/utils: remove jitvm flags

* cmd/utils: make mutually exclusive flag error prettier

It now reads:

   Fatal: flags --dev, --testnet can't be used at the same time

* p2p: fix typo

* node: add DefaultConfig, use it for geth

* mobile: add missing NoDiscovery option

* cmd/utils: drop MakeNode

This exposed a couple of places that needed to be updated to use
node.DefaultConfig.

* node: fix typo

* eth: make fast sync the default mode

* cmd/utils: remove IPCApiFlag (unused)

* node: remove default IPC path

Set it in the frontends instead.

* cmd/geth: add --syncmode

* cmd/utils: make --ipcdisable and --ipcpath mutually exclusive

* cmd/utils: don't enable WS, HTTP when setting addr

* cmd/utils: fix --identity

cmd/puppeth: format dashboard html, update syncmode flags

* consensus, core, ethstats: use engine specific block beneficiary

* core, eth, les, miner: use explicit beneficiary during mining

* consensus/clique, internal/web3ext: support hash based API queries

* consensus/clique: make RPC return types public

internal/ethapi: Add support for fetching information about the current call in JS traces

- Moved fuse related code in a new package, swarm/fuse
- Added write support
  - Create new files
  - Delete existing files
  - Append to files (with limitations)
- More test coverage

This PR is a prototype implementation of plugable consensus engines and the
Clique PoA protocol ethereum/EIPs#225
