Previously, resolve errors were being swallowed and the returned error
was a generic "not a content hash" which isn't helpful.
This updates the Resolve function to fail fast rather than only
returning an error at the end, and also adds test coverage.
This PR deprecates the file related RPC calls in favour of an improved HTTP API.
The main aim is to expose a simple to use API which can be consumed by thin
clients (e.g. curl and HTML forms) without the need for complex logic (e.g.
manipulating prefix trie manifests).
This change imports the Swarm protocol codebase. Compared to the 'swarm'
branch, a few mostly cosmetic changes had to be made:
* The various redundant log message prefixes are gone.
* All files now have LGPLv3 license headers.
* Minor code changes were needed to please go vet and make the tests
pass on Windows.
* Further changes were required to adapt to the go-ethereum develop
branch and its new Go APIs.
Some code has not (yet) been brought over:
* swarm/cmd/bzzhash: will reappear as cmd/bzzhash later
* swarm/cmd/bzzup.sh: will be reimplemented in cmd/bzzup
* swarm/cmd/makegenesis: will reappear somehow
* swarm/examples/album: will move to a separate repository
* swarm/examples/filemanager: ditto
* swarm/examples/files: will not be merged
* swarm/test/*: will not be merged
* swarm/services/swear: will reappear as contracts/swear when needed
