This change removes support for subscribing to pending logs.
"Pending logs" were always an odd feature, because it can never be fully reliable. When support for it was added many years ago, the intention was for this to be used by wallet apps to show the 'potential future token balance' of accounts, i.e. as a way of notifying the user of incoming transfers before they were mined. In order to generate the pending logs, the node must pick a subset of all public mempool transactions, execute them in the EVM, and then dispatch the resulting logs to API consumers.
Currently, geth's will return `[]` for any `len(topics) > 4` log filter. The EVM only supports up to four logs, via LOG4 opcode, so larger criterias fail. This change makes the filter query exit early in those cases.
This PR changes the pending tx subscription to return RPCTransaction types instead of normal Transaction objects. This will fix the inconsistencies with other tx returning API methods (i.e. getTransactionByHash), and also fill in the sender value for the tx.

This PR adds a way to subscribe to the _full_ pending transactions, as opposed to just being notified about hashes.
In use cases where client subscribes to newPendingTransactions and gets txhashes only to then request the actual transaction, the caller can now shortcut that flow and obtain the transactions directly.

This adds a cache for block logs which is shared by all filters. The cache
size of is configurable using the `--cache.blocklogs` flag.

This enables the following linters
- typecheck
- unused
- staticcheck
- bidichk
- durationcheck
- exportloopref
- gosec
WIth a few exceptions.
- We use a deprecated protobuf in trezor. I didn't want to mess with that, since I cannot meaningfully test any changes there.
- The deprecated TypeMux is used in a few places still, so the warning for it is silenced for now.
- Using string type in context.WithValue is apparently wrong, one should use a custom type, to prevent collisions between different places in the hierarchy of callers. That should be fixed at some point, but may require some attention.
- The warnings for using weak random generator are squashed, since we use a lot of random without need for cryptographic guarantees.
When implementing the new bloombits based filter, I've accidentally broke null
topics by removing the special casing of common.Hash{} filter rules, which
acted as the wildcard topic until now.
This PR fixes the regression, but instead of using the magic hash
common.Hash{} as the null wildcard, the PR reworks the code to handle nil
topics during parsing, converting a JSON null into nil []common.Hash topic.
There is no need to depend on the old context package now that the
minimum Go version is 1.7. The move to "context" eliminates our weird
vendoring setup. Some vendored code still uses golang.org/x/net/context
and it is now vendored in the normal way.
This change triggered new vet checks around context.WithTimeout which
didn't fire with golang.org/x/net/context.
This significantly reduces the dependency closure of ethclient, which no
longer depends on core/vm as of this change.
All uses of vm.Logs are replaced by []*types.Log. NewLog is gone too,
the constructor simply returned a literal.
This field used to be assigned by the filter system and returned through
the RPC API. Now that we have a Go client that uses the underlying type,
the field needs to move. It is now assigned to true when the RemovedLogs
event is generated so the filter system doesn't need to care about the
field at all.
While here, remove the log list from ChainSideEvent. There are no users
of this field right now and any potential users could subscribe to
RemovedLogsEvent instead.
