* geth,utils: implement configurable developer account options
Prior to this change --dev (developer) mode
generated one account with an empty password,
irrespective of existing --password and --miner.etherbase
options.
This change makes --dev mode compatible with these
existing flags.
--dev mode may now be used in conjunction with
--password and --miner.etherbase flags to configure
the developer faucet using an existing keystore or
in creating a new account.

* main: remove key/pass flags from usage developer section
These flags are included already in other sections,
and it is not desired to duplicate them.
They were originally included in this section
along with added support for these flags in the
developer mode.

This change introduces garbage collection for the light client. Historical
chain data is deleted periodically. If you want to disable the GC, use
the --light.nopruning flag.
This fixes two issues with state sync restarts:
When sync restarts with a new root, some peers can have in-flight requests.
Since all peers with active requests were marked idle when exiting sync,
the new sync would schedule more requests for those peers. When the
response for the earlier request arrived, the new sync would reject it and
mark the peer idle again, rendering the peer useless until it disconnected.
The other issue was that peers would not be marked idle when they had
delivered a response, but the response hadn't been processed before
restarting the state sync. This also made the peer useless because it
would be permanently marked busy.

This adds a test suite for discovery v4. The test suite is a port of the Hive suite for
discovery, and will replace the current suite on Hive soon-ish. The tests can be
run locally with this command:
devp2p discv4 test -remote enode//...

This change further improves the performance of RLP encoding by removing
allocations for big.Int and [...]byte types. I have added a new benchmark
that measures RLP encoding of types.Block to verify that performance is
improved.
Exposing /debug/metrics and /debug/metrics/prometheus was dependent
on --pprof, which also exposes other HTTP APIs. This change makes it possible
to run the metrics server on an independent endpoint without enabling pprof.
This PR reduces the bandwidth used by the light client to compute the
recommended gas price. The current mechanism for suggesting the price is:
- retrieve recent 20 blocks
- get the lowest gas price of these blocks
- sort the price array and return the middle(60%) one
This works for full nodes, which have all blocks available locally.
However, this is very expensive for the light client because the light
client needs to retrieve block bodies from the network.
The PR changes the default options for light client. With the new config,
the light client only retrieves the two latest blocks, but in order to
collect more sample transactions, the 3 lowest prices are collected from
each block.
This PR also changes the behavior for empty blocks. If the block is empty,
the lastest price is reused for sampling.
* core: use uint64 for total tx costs instead of big.Int
* core: added local tx pool test case

List headers made up 11% of all allocations during sync. This change
removes most of those allocations by keeping the list header values
cached in the encoder buffer instead. Since encoder buffers are pooled,
list headers are no longer allocated in the common case where an
encoder buffer is available for reuse.
