This changes the CI / release builds to use the latest Go version. It also
upgrades golangci-lint to a newer version compatible with Go 1.19.
In Go 1.19, godoc has gained official support for links and lists. The
syntax for code blocks in doc comments has changed and now requires a
leading tab character. gofmt adapts comments to the new syntax
automatically, so there are a lot of comment re-formatting changes in this
PR. We need to apply the new format in order to pass the CI lint stage with
Go 1.19.
With the linter upgrade, I have decided to disable 'gosec' - it produces
too many false-positive warnings. The 'deadcode' and 'varcheck' linters
have also been removed because golangci-lint warns about them being
unmaintained. 'unused' provides similar coverage and we already have it
enabled, so we don't lose much with this change.
This commit changes the behavior of BitCurve.Add to be more inline
with btcd. It fixes two different bugs:
1) When adding a point at infinity to another point, the other point
should be returned. While this is undefined behavior, it is better
to be more inline with the go standard library.
Thus (0,0) + (a, b) = (a,b)
2) Adding the same point to itself produced the point at infinity.
This is incorrect, now doubleJacobian is used to correctly calculate it.
Thus (a,b) + (a,b) == 2* (a,b) and not (0,0) anymore.
The change also adds a differential fuzzer for Add, testing it against btcd.

The z == 0 check is hit whenever we Add two points with the same x1/x2
coordinate. crypto/elliptic uses the same check in their affineFromJacobian
function. This change does not affect block processing or tx signature verification
in any way, because it does not use the Add or Double methods.
Our original wrapper code had two parts. One taken from a third
party repository (who took it from upstream Go) licensed under
BSD-3. The second written by Jeff, Felix and Gustav, licensed
under LGPL. This made this package problematic to use from the
outside.
With the agreement of the original copyright holders, this commit
changes the license of the LGPL portions of the code to BSD-3:
---
I agree changing from LGPL to a BSD style license.

Hey guys,
My preference would be to relicense to GNUBL, but I'm also OK with BSD.
Cheers,
Gustav

Felix Lange (fjl):
I would approve anything that makes our licensing less complicated

We need those operations for p2p/enr.
Also upgrade github.com/btcsuite/btcd/btcec to the latest version
and improve BenchmarkSha3. The benchmark printed extra output
that confused tools like benchstat and ignored N.
* common/math: optimize PaddedBigBytes, use it more

PaddedBigBytes-8 71.1ns ± 5% 46.1ns ± 1% -35.15% (p=0.000 n=20+19)

* all: unify big.Int zero checks
Various checks were in use. This commit replaces them all with Int.Sign,
which is cheaper and less code.
eg templates:
func before(x *big.Int) bool { return x.BitLen() == 0 }
func after(x *big.Int) bool { return x.Sign() == 0 }
func before(x *big.Int) bool { return x.BitLen() > 0 }
func after(x *big.Int) bool { return x.Sign() != 0 }
func before(x *big.Int) int { return x.Cmp(common.Big0) }
func after(x *big.Int) int { return x.Sign() }
* common/math, crypto/secp256k1: make ReadBits public in package math
- Use defined constants instead of hard-coding their integer value.
- Allocate secp256k1 structs on the C stack instead of converting []byte
- Remove dead code
* change gas cost for contract creating txs
* invalidate signature with s value greater than secp256k1 N / 2
* OOG contract creation if not enough gas to store code
* new difficulty adjustment algorithm
* new DELEGATECALL op code
The C library treats the recovery ID as trusted input and crashes
the process for invalid values, so it needs to be verified before
calling into C. This will inhibit the crash in #1983.
Also remove VerifySignature because we don't use it.
Linux build documentation is mostly geared towards Ubuntu 14.04 (LTS).
Appropriate package is called `libgmp-dev` there.
Note that on pristine installations building `geth` with godep will
fail because this header is missing. This is not documented in the
top-level README, but is on the wiki:
https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Installation-Instructions-for-Ubuntu#building-geth-command-line-client
That page recommends `libgmp3-dev`, which ATM provides same version
as `libgmp-dev`.
