37dd9086ec core: refactor genesis handling
This commit solves several issues concerning the genesis block:

* Genesis/ChainConfig loading was handled by cmd/geth code. This left
  library users in the cold. They could specify a JSON-encoded
  string and overwrite the config, but didn't get any of the additional
  checks performed by geth.
* Decoding and writing of genesis JSON was conflated in
  WriteGenesisBlock. This made it a lot harder to embed the genesis
  block into the forthcoming config file loader. This commit changes
  things so there is a single Genesis type that represents genesis
  blocks. All uses of Write*Genesis* are changed to use the new type
  instead.
* If the chain config supplied by the user was incompatible with the
  current chain (i.e. the chain had already advanced beyond a scheduled
  fork), it got overwritten. This is not an issue in practice because
  previous forks have always had the highest total difficulty. It might
  matter in the future though. The new code reverts the local chain to
  the point of the fork when upgrading configuration.

The change to genesis block data removes compression library
dependencies from package core.

5f7826270c all: unify big.Int zero checks, use common/math in more places (#3716)
* common/math: optimize PaddedBigBytes, use it more

name              old time/op    new time/op    delta
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

6c8b023298 contracts/chequebook: add chequebook contract wrapper
The wrapper code is adapted from the swarm/services/chequebook package
with the following mostly cosmetic changes:

* The code now uses the new Go API interfaces to query balances. Some
  minor functional changes were required to make this work.
* The package no longer depends on swarm/services/swap/swap. References
  to swap.Promise are replaced by interface{}, the base type of Promise.
  This is temporary.
* The contract wrapper has been regenerated with latest abigen
  and solc v0.3.6.
* There is a new generator that creates the 'deployed code' variable.
* Documentation comments now follow the recommended godoc style.
* [CHEQUEBOOK] log prefixes are gone.
* LGPL license headers have been added to all files.
