ChainManager now uses a parallel approach to block processing where all
nonces are checked seperatly from the block processing process. This
speeds up the process by about 3 times on my i7
* common/compiler: solidity compiler + tests
* rpc: eth_compilers, eth_compileSolidity + tests
* fix natspec test using keystore API, notice exp dynamically changes addr, cleanup
* resolver implements registrars and needs to create reg contract (temp)
* xeth: solidity compiler. expose getter Solc() and paths setter SetSolc(solcPath)
* ethereumApi: implement compiler related RPC calls using XEth - json struct tests
* admin: make use of XEth.SetSolc to allow runtime setting of compiler paths
* cli: command line flags solc to set custom solc bin path
* js admin api with new features debug and contractInfo modules
* wiki is the doc https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Contracts-and-Transactions
Chain reorgs weren't properly handled when a chain was further ahead.
Previously we'd end up with mixed chains in our canonical numbering
sequence. Added test for this type of forking.
```
/-o-o-o A
o-C-+
\-o-o-o-o B
```
Ends up with with C A1, A2, A3, B4
* Changed CalcGasLimit to no longer need current block
* Added a gas * price + value on tx validation
* Transactions in the pool are now re-validated once every X
During a split parent and grand parent were included in the database but
not in the canonical chain (numbered chain). Added a `merge` function
which finds the common ancestor of the chains and reinserts the missing
blocks.
- follow up locks and fix them
- chainManager: call SetQueued for parentErr future blocks, uncomment TD checks, unskip test
- make ErrIncorrectTD non-fatal to be forgiving to genuine mistaken nodes (temp) but demote them to guard against stuck best peers.
- add purging to bounded nodeCache (config nodeCacheSize)
- use nodeCache when creating blockpool entries and let non-best peers add blocks (performance boost)
- minor error in addError
- reduce idleBestPeerTimeout to 1 minute
- correct status counts and unskip status passing status test
- glogified logging
