* common: unify hex prefix check code (ethereum#19937)

* ethdb/dbtest: addd test suite for ethdb backends (ethereum#19960)

- Move the existing tests from memorydb into a generalized testsuite
that can be run by any ethdb backend implementation.
- Add several more test cases to clarify some non-obvious nuances when
implementing a custom ethdb backend, such as the behaviour of
NewIteratorWithPrefix vs NewIteratorWithStart.
- Add leveldb to the testsuite using in-memory storage for fast
execution.

* core/vm: enable istanbul EIPs in the jump table

* build: gomobile automaticall adds the ios tag, don't duplicate

* cmd/utils: customize cli.HelpPrinter to fix alignment (ethereum#19956)

This copies cli.printHelp but changes minwidth to 38. Custom flag
code is improved to print the default value using cli.FlagStringer like
all built-in flags do.

* eth: remove unused field (ethereum#20049)

* tests: expose internal RunNoVerify method (ethereum#20051)

* all: make unit tests work with Go 1.13 (ethereum#20053)

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.

* travis, Dockerfile, appveyor: bump to Go 1.13

* build: switch PPA from Gophers dep to manual download

* Revert "build: switch PPA from Gophers dep to manual download" (ethereum#20061)

* core: remove unused gas return in ApplyTransaction (ethereum#20065)

* rlp: improve nil pointer handling (ethereum#20064)

* rlp: improve nil pointer handling

In both encoder and decoder, the rules for encoding nil pointers were a
bit hard to understand, and didn't leave much choice. Since RLP allows
two empty values (empty list, empty string), any protocol built on RLP
must choose either of these values to represent the null value in a
certain context.

This change adds choice in the form of two new struct tags, "nilString"
and "nilList". These can be used to specify how a nil pointer value is
encoded. The "nil" tag still exists, but its implementation is now
explicit and defines exactly how nil pointers are handled in a single
place.

Another important change in this commit is how nil pointers and the
Encoder interface interact. The EncodeRLP method was previously called
even on nil values, which was supposed to give users a choice of how
their value would be handled when nil. It turns out this is a stupid
idea. If you create a network protocol containing an object defined in
another package, it's better to be able to say that the object should be
a list or string when nil in the definition of the protocol message
rather than defining the encoding of nil on the object itself.

As of this commit, the encoding rules for pointers now take precedence
over the Encoder interface rule. I think the "nil" tag will work fine
for most cases. For special kinds of objects which are a struct in Go
but strings in RLP, code using the object can specify the desired
encoding of nil using the "nilString" and "nilList" tags.

* rlp: propagate struct field type errors

If a struct contained fields of undecodable type, the encoder and
decoder would panic instead of returning an error. Fix this by
propagating type errors in makeStruct{Writer,Decoder} and add a test.

* cmd/evm: make evm default to all ethash protocol changes

* core/state: accumulate writes and only update tries when must

* core: add blockchain test too for revert cornercase

* common/mclock: clean up AfterFunc support (ethereum#20054)

This change adds tests for the virtual clock and aligns the interface
with the time package by renaming Cancel to Stop. It also removes the
binary search from Stop because it complicates the code unnecessarily.

* dashboard: log host+port

* les: fix checkpoint sync (ethereum#20120)

* p2p/dnsdisc: add implementation of EIP-1459 (ethereum#20094)

This adds an implementation of node discovery via DNS TXT records to the
go-ethereum library. The implementation doesn't match EIP-1459 exactly,
the main difference being that this implementation uses separate merkle
trees for tree links and ENRs. The EIP will be updated to match p2p/dnsdisc.

To maintain DNS trees, cmd/devp2p provides a frontend for the p2p/dnsdisc
library. The new 'dns' subcommands can be used to create, sign and deploy DNS
discovery trees.

* tests/solidity: add contract to test every opcode (ethereum#19283)

Fixes ethereum#18210

* params: release Geth v1.9.6 stable

* params: begin v1.9.7 release cycle

* cmd/utils: fix command line flag resolve (ethereum#20167)

In Geth, we have two sources for configuration:
(1) Config file
(2) Command line flag

Basically geth will first resolve config file and then overwrite
configs with command line flags.

This issue is: geth should only overwrite configs if flags are truly
set. So before we apply any flag to configs, `GlobalIsSet` check
is necessary.

* params: check fork ordering when initializing new genesis, fixes ethereum#20136 (ethereum#20169)

prevent users from misconfiguring their nodes so that fork ordering is not preserved.

* p2p/dnsdisc: update to latest EIP-1459 spec (ethereum#20168)

This updates the DNS TXT record format to the latest
changes in ethereum/EIPs#2313.

* p2p/simulations: add node properties support and utility functions (ethereum#20060)

* README: use new miner threads flag instead of legacy minerthreads flag (ethereum#20165)

* miner: add generate and import unit test (ethereum#20111)

This PR adds a new unit test in miner package which will create some blocks from miner and then import into another chain. In this way, we can ensure all blocks generated by Geth miner obey consensus rules.

* accounts/abi/bind: take into account gas price during gas estimation (ethereum#20189)

The gas price was not passed to the `EstimateGas` function. As a result,
conditional execution paths depending on `tx.gasprice` could be not
correctly processed and we could get invalid gas estimates for contract
function calls.

* clef: resolve windows pipes, fixes ethereum#20121 (ethereum#20166)

* consensus: fix possessives in comments. (ethereum#20209)

* cmd/evm: remove surrounding whitespace in hex input code (ethereum#20211)

This way, the output of `evm compile` can be used directly in `evm
--codefile code.txt run`, without stripping the trailing newline first.

* trie: remove node ordering slice in sync batch (ethereum#19929)

When we flush a batch of trie nodes into database during the state
sync, we should guarantee that all children should be flushed before
parent.

Actually the trie nodes commit order is strict by: children -> parent.
But when we flush all ready nodes into db, we don't need the order
anymore since

    (1) they are all ready nodes (no more dependency)
    (2) underlying database provides write atomicity

* core/asm: assembly parser label fixes (ethereum#20210)

* core/asm: Fix encoding of pushed labels

EVM uses big-endian byte-order, so to pad a label value to 4 bytes,
zeros must be added to the front, not the end.

* core/asm: Fix PC calculations when a label is pushed

Incrementing PC by 5 is only correct if the label appears after a jump,
in which case there is an implicit push. When it appears after an explicit
push, PC should only be incremented by 4.

* core/asm: Allow JUMP with no argument

This way, a label can be pushed explicitly, or loaded from memory to
implement a jump table.

The fixed issues include:

(1) If there is no return in a call function, unpack should
return nil error

(2) For some functions which have struct array as parameter,
it will also be detected and generate the struct definition

(3) For event, if it has non-indexed parameter, the parameter
name will also be assigned if empty. Also the internal struct
will be detected and generate struct defition if not exist.

(4) Fix annotation generation in event function

This adds all dashboard changes from the last couple months.
We're about to remove the dashboard, but decided that we should
get all the recent work in first in case anyone wants to pick up this
project later on.

* cmd, dashboard, eth, p2p: send peer info to the dashboard
* dashboard: update npm packages, improve UI, rebase
* dashboard, p2p: remove println, change doc
* cmd, dashboard, eth, p2p: cleanup after review

golang.org/x/net/websocket is unmaintained, and we have already
switched to using github.com/gorilla/websocket for package rpc.

* dashboard: remove the dashboard (ethereum#20279)

This removes the dashboard project. The dashboard was an experimental
browser UI for geth which displayed metrics and chain information in
real time. We are removing it because it has marginal utility and nobody
on the team can maintain it.

Removing the dashboard removes a lot of dependency code and shaves
6 MB off the geth binary size.

* cmd/evm: Allow loading input from file (ethereum#20273)

Make it possible to load input from a file. Simlar to `--code` / `--codefile`, have `--input`/`--inputfile`.

* rpc, p2p/simulations: use github.com/gorilla/websocket (ethereum#20289)

* rpc: improve codec abstraction

rpc.ServerCodec is an opaque interface. There was only one way to get a
codec using existing APIs: rpc.NewJSONCodec. This change exports
newCodec (as NewFuncCodec) and NewJSONCodec (as NewCodec). It also makes
all codec methods non-public to avoid showing internals in godoc.

While here, remove codec options in tests because they are not
supported anymore.

* p2p/simulations: use github.com/gorilla/websocket

This package was the last remaining user of golang.org/x/net/websocket.
Migrating to the new library wasn't straightforward because it is no
longer possible to treat WebSocket connections as a net.Conn.

* vendor: delete golang.org/x/net/websocket

* rpc: fix godoc comments and run gofmt

* build: use golangci-lint (ethereum#20295)

* core: s/isEIP155/isHomestead/g (fix IntrinsicGas signature var name) (ethereum#20300)

* core: s/isEIP155/isEIP2/ (fix)

This signature variable name reflects a spec'd change
in gas cost for creating contracts as documented in EIP2 (Homestead HF).

https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/master/EIPS/eip-2.md#specification

* core: s/isEIP2/sIsHomestead/g

Use isHomestead since Homestead is what the caller
and rest of the code uses.

* travis: use travis_wait for both install and build (ethereum#20309)

* build: add test cmd flag -v for verbose logs (ethereum#20298)

Adds flags akin to -coverage flag enabling the test runner
to use go test's -v flag, signaling verbose test log output.

* cmd/clef: fix staticcheck warnings (ethereum#20314)

* consensus/clique: add clique_status API method (ethereum#20103)

This PR introduces clique_status which gives info about the health of
the clique network.

It's currently a bit PITA to find out how a clique network is
performing, and it can easily happen that sealers drop off -- and
everything is 'fine' until one more signer drops off, and the network
suddenly halts.

The new method provides the following stats:

- Which signers are currently active, and have signed blocks in the last
  N (set to 64) blocks?
- How many blocks has each signer signed?
- What is the difficulty in the last N blocks, compared to the
  theoretical maximum?

* consensus/clique: fix struct tags for status API (ethereum#20316)

Also unexport the status struct.

so that integers as well as hex number strings are accepted.

* rpc: remove 'exported or builtin' restriction for parameters (ethereum#20332)

* rpc: remove 'exported or builtin' restriction for parameters

There is no technial reason for this restriction because package reflect

* consensus/ethash: refactor remote sealer (ethereum#20335)

The original idea behind this change was to remove a use of the
deprecated CancelRequest method. Simply removing it would've been an
option, but I couldn't resist and did a bit of a refactoring instead.

All remote sealing code was contained in a single giant function. Remote
sealing is now extracted into its own object, remoteSealer.

* core, miner: remove PostChainEvents (ethereum#19396)

This change:

- removes the PostChainEvents method on core.BlockChain.
- sorts 'removed log' events by block number.
- fire the NewChainHead event if we inject a canonical block into the chain
  even if the entire insertion is not successful.
- guarantees correct event ordering in all cases.
