Previous version put $BASE directory in root directory.
This version clearly explains how to run as root or as specific user.
Additional configuration:
* send SIGHUP for clean exit,
* restart on fail.
Tested on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS with 4.10.0-33-generic x86_64 kernel
* move common forks and parameters to common params
* port specs over to new format
* fix RPC tests
* parity-machine skeleton
* remove block type
* extract out ethereum-specific methods into EthereumMachine
* beginning to integrate Machine into engines. dealing with stale transitions in Ethash
* initial porting to machine
* move block reward back into engine
* abstract block reward logic
* move last hash and DAO HF logic into machine
* begin making engine function parameters generic
* abstract epoch verifier and ethash block reward logic
* instantiate special ethereummachine for ethash in spec
* optional full verification in verify_block_family
* re-instate tx_filter in a way that works for all engines
* fix warnings
* fix most tests, further generalize engine trait
* uncomment nullengine, get ethcore tests compiling
* fix warnings
* update a bunch of specs
* re-enable engine signer, validator set, and transition handler
* migrate basic_authority engine
* move last hashes into executedblock
* port tendermint
* make all ethcore tests pass
* json-tests compilation
* fix RPC tests: change in gas limit for new block changed PoW hash
* fix minor grumbles
* validate chainspecs
* fix broken import
* fix transaction verification for pre-homestead
* Add RPC eth_chainId for querying the current blockchain chain ID
Currently although we can use `net_version` RPC call to get the
current network ID, there's no RPC for querying the chain ID. This
makes it impossible to determine the current actual blockchain using
the RPC. An ETH/ETC client can accidentally connect to an ETC/ETH RPC
endpoint without knowing it unless it tries to sign a transaction or
it fetch a transaction that is known to have signed with a chain
ID. This has since caused trouble for application developers, such as
MetaMask, to add multi-chain support.
The same RPC endpoint is also about to be merged for ETC's

* Add eth_chainId to js's web3 interface
* Add a mocked test for eth_chainId
* Add chainId in js's jsonrpc interfaces
* Change return type for eth_chainId to `Option<u64>`
* Change name eth_chainId to parity_chainId
* Wrong test name and missed var for rpc_parity_chain_id test
* Use U256 to return chainId and fix for master
u64 returns decimal integer, and there seems to be no type called
U64. So here I use U256 to return the hex integer.
* Fix chainID test
Before EIP155 fork number, chainID should be null.
* Change both parity_chainId and transaction::chainId to use U64
This makes it consistent that all chain ids returned are hex string.
* Fix wrong U64 serialization
* Rebase and fix compilation errors (tests not yet fixed)
* Use `debug_assert` over `assert`
* Fix tests
* Assert safety, clean up
* Fix up stale cache removal, move one assert to debug_assert
* Remove printlns
* Add licenses
* Fix benches
* Inline some no-ops in a hot loop that weren't being inlined
* Add spooky comment to make sure no-one removes the inlining annotations
* Minor cleanup
* Add option to switch between mmap and ram
* Flag ethash to use less memory when running light client
* Fix tests
* Remove todo comment (it's done)
* Replace assertion with error return
* Fix indentation
* Use union instead of `transmute`
* Fix benches
* Extract to constants
* Clean up and fix soundness holes
* Fix formatting
* Ignore missing-file errors
* Make incorrect cache size an error condition instead of a panic, remove dead code
* Fix compilation errors from rebase
* Fix compilation errors in tests
* Fix compilation errors in tests
* Prepare changelog for 1.7.1
* Update changelog for 1.7.1
* Prepare changelog for 1.7.2
* Update CHANGELOG
* Update changelog for 1.7.2
* Snapshot sync kicks in after 10k blocks
* Add ropsten fork to changelog
* Add Gnosis multi-sig support to Changelog
* Update final changelog for 1.7.2
