Most of these changes are related to the Go 1.13 changes to test binary
flag handling.
* cmd/geth: make attach tests more reliable
This makes the test wait for the endpoint to come up by polling
it instead of waiting for two seconds.
* tests: fix test binary flags for Go 1.13
Calling flag.Parse during package initialization is prohibited
as of Go 1.13 and causes test failures. Call it in TestMain instead.
* crypto/ecies: remove useless -dump flag in tests
* p2p/simulations: fix test binary flags for Go 1.13
Calling flag.Parse during package initialization is prohibited
as of Go 1.13 and causes test failures. Call it in TestMain instead.
* build: remove workaround for ./... vendor matching
This workaround was necessary for Go 1.8. The Go 1.9 release changed
the expansion rules to exclude vendored packages.
* Makefile: use relative path for GOBIN
This makes the "Run ./build/bin/..." line look nicer.
* les: fix test binary flags for Go 1.13
Calling flag.Parse during package initialization is prohibited
as of Go 1.13 and causes test failures. Call it in TestMain instead.

# NOTE
This implementation is direct fork of Kylom's implementation. I claim no authorship over this code apart from some minor modifications.
Please be aware this code **has not yet been reviewed**.
ecies implements the Elliptic Curve Integrated Encryption Scheme.
The package is designed to be compliant with the appropriate NIST
standards, and therefore doesn't support the full SEC 1 algorithm set.
STATUS:
ecies should be ready for use. The ASN.1 support is only complete so
far as to supported the listed algorithms before.
CAVEATS
1. CMAC support is currently not present.
SUPPORTED ALGORITHMS
SYMMETRIC CIPHERS HASH FUNCTIONS
AES128 SHA-1
AES192 SHA-224
AES256 SHA-256
SHA-384
ELLIPTIC CURVE SHA-512
P256
P384 KEY DERIVATION FUNCTION
P521 NIST SP 800-65a Concatenation KDF
Curve P224 isn't supported because it does not provide a minimum security
level of AES128 with HMAC-SHA1. According to NIST SP 800-57, the security
level of P224 is 112 bits of security. Symmetric ciphers use CTR-mode;
message tags are computed using HMAC-<HASH> function.
CURVE SELECTION
According to NIST SP 800-57, the following curves should be selected:
+----------------+-------+
| SYMMETRIC SIZE | CURVE |
+----------------+-------+
| 128-bit | P256 |
+----------------+-------+
| 192-bit | P384 |
+----------------+-------+
| 256-bit | P521 |
+----------------+-------+
TODO
1. Look at serialising the parameters with the SEC 1 ASN.1 module.
2. Validate ASN.1 formats with SEC 1.
TEST VECTORS
The only test vectors I've found so far date from 1993, predating AES
and including only 163-bit curves. Therefore, there are no published
test vectors to compare to.
