This simplifies the code that initializes the discovery a bit, and
adds new flags for enabling/disabling discv4 and discv5 separately.

This change introduces a breaking change to miner.etherbase is configured.
Previously, users did not need to explicitly set the etherbase address via flag, since 'first' local account was used as etherbase automatically. This change removes the "default first account" feature.
In Proof-of-stake world, the fee recipient address is provided by CL, and not configured in Geth any more - meaning that miner.etherbase is mostly for legacy networks(pow, clique networks etc).
This change updates our urfave/cli dependency to the v2 branch of the library.
There are some Go API changes in cli v2:
- Flag values can now be accessed using the methods ctx.Bool,
ctx.Int, ctx.String, ... regardless of whether the flag is 'local' or
'global'.
- v2 has built-in support for flag categories. Our home-grown category
system is removed and the categories of flags are assigned as part of
the flag definition.
For users, there is only one observable difference with cli v2: flags must now
strictly appear before regular arguments. For example, the following command is
now invalid:
geth account import mykey.json --password file.txt
Instead, the command must be invoked as follows:
geth account import --password file.txt mykey.json
This enables the following linters
- typecheck
- unused
- staticcheck
- bidichk
- durationcheck
- exportloopref
- gosec
WIth a few exceptions.
- We use a deprecated protobuf in trezor. I didn't want to mess with that, since I cannot meaningfully test any changes there.
- The deprecated TypeMux is used in a few places still, so the warning for it is silenced for now.
- Using string type in context.WithValue is apparently wrong, one should use a custom type, to prevent collisions between different places in the hierarchy of callers. That should be fixed at some point, but may require some attention.
- The warnings for using weak random generator are squashed, since we use a lot of random without need for cryptographic guarantees.
Previously, the test waited a second and then failed if geth had not
started. This caused the test to fail intermittently. This change checks
whether the IPC is open 10 times over a 5 second period and then fails
if geth is still not available.
USB enumeration still occured. Make sure it will only occur if --usb is set.
This also deprecates the 'NoUSB' config file option in favor of a new option 'USB'.
