Implement changes for Issue 3417

[ckeshava]

If merged, this code will:

• Implement the simplified condition evaluation
• removes the complex bitwise and(&) operator
• Implement the second proposed solution in Nik Bougalis's comment - Software does not distinguish between different Conditions (Version: 1.5) #3417 (comment)

I have tested this code change by performing RPC calls with the commands server_info, server_state, peers and validation_info. These commands worked as expected.
