This PR adds functionality to the evm t8n to calculate ethash difficulty. If the caller does not provide a currentDifficulty, but instead provides the parentTimestamp (well, semi-optional, will default to 0 if not given), and parentDifficulty, we can calculate it for him.
The caller can also provide a parentUncleHash. In most, but not all cases, the parent uncle hash also affects the formula. If no such hash is provided (or, if the empty all-zero hash is provided), it's assumed that there were no uncles.
In many cases, it's desireable to use already-signed transactions as input to the state transition, instead of having the evm sign them internally (for example to use malformed or not-yet-valid transactions). This PR adds support + docs for that feature.
This is the initial implementation of EIP-1559 in packages core/types and core.
Mining, RPC, etc. will be added in subsequent commits.

This adds support for EIP-2718 typed transactions as well as EIP-2930
access list transactions (tx type 1). These EIPs are scheduled for the
Berlin fork.
There very few changes to existing APIs in core/types, and several new APIs
to deal with access list transactions. In particular, there are two new
constructor functions for transactions: types.NewTx and types.SignNewTx.
Since the canonical encoding of typed transactions is not RLP-compatible,
Transaction now has new methods for encoding and decoding: MarshalBinary
and UnmarshalBinary.
The existing EIP-155 signer does not support the new transaction types.
All code dealing with transaction signatures should be updated to use the
newer EIP-2930 signer. To make this easier for future updates, we have
added new constructor functions for types.Signer: types.LatestSigner and
types.LatestSignerForChainID.
This change also adds support for the YoloV3 testnet.

This PR implements the EVM state transition tool, which is intended
to be the replacement for our retesteth client implementation.
Documentation is present in the cmd/evm/README.md file.
