This PR is fixing deadlock for #8918
It avoids some recursive calls on light_sync by making state check optional for Informant.
The current behavior is to display the information when informant checks if block is major version.
This change a bit the informant behavior, but not on most cases.
To remember where and how this kind of deadlock are likely to happen (not seen with Parkinglot deadlock detection because it uses std condvar), I am adding a description of the deadlock.
Also, for the reviewers there may be better solution than modifying the informant.
### Thread1
- ethcore/sync/light_sync/mod.rs
A call to the light handler through any Io (having a loop of rpc query running on like client makes the dead lock way more likely).
At the end of those calls we systematically call `maintain_sync` method.
Here maintain_sync locks `state` (it is the deadlock cause), with a write purpose
`maintain_sync` -> `begin_search` with the state locked open
`begin_search` -> lightcliennt `flush_queue` method
- ethcore/light/src/client/mod.rs
`flush_queue` -> `flush` on queue (HeaderQueue aka VerificationQueue of headers)
- ethcore/src/verification/queue/mod.rs
Condition there is some unverified or verifying content
`flush` wait on a condvar until the queue is empty. The only way to unlock condvar is that worker is empty and unlock it (so thread 2 is Verification worker).
### Thread2
A verification worker at the end of a verify loop (new block).
- ethcore/src/verification/queue/mod.rs
thread loops on `verify` method.
End of loop condition is_ready -> Import the block immediately
calls `set_sync` on QueueSignal which send a BlockVerified ClientIoMessage in inner channel (IoChannel of ClientIoMessage) using `send_sync`
- util/io/src/service_mio.rs
IoChannel `send_sync` method calls all handlers with `message` method; one of the handlers is ImportBlocks IoHandler (with a single inner Client service field)
- ethcore/light/src/client/service.rs
`message` trigger inner method `import_verified`
- core/light/src/client/mod.rs
`import_verified` at the very end notify the listeners of a new_headers, one of the listeners is Informant `listener` method
- parity/informant.rs
`newHeaders` run up to call to `is_major_importing` on its target (again clinet)
- ethcore/sync/src/light_sync/mod.rs
Here `is_major_importing` tries to get state lock (read purpose only) but cannot because of previous state lock, thus deadlock

* Replace Rlp with UntrustedRlp in views, explicity unwrap with expect
First pass to get it to compile. Need to figure out whether to do this or to propogate Errors upstream, which would require many more changes to dependent code. If we do this way we are assuming that the views are always used in a context where the rlp is trusted to be valid e.g. when reading from our own DB. So need to fid out whether views are used with data received from an untrusted (e.g. extrernal peer).
* Remove original Rlp impl, rename UntrustedRlp -> Rlp
* Create rlp views with view! macro to record debug info
Views are assumed to be over valid rlp, so if there is a decoding error we record where the view was created in the first place and report it in the expect
* Use $crate in view! macro to avoid import, fix tests
* Expect valid rlp in decode functions for now
