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

This adds block reward contract config to ethash. A new config `blockRewardContractCode` is also added to both Aura and ethash. When specified, it will execute the code directly and overrides any `blockRewardContractAddress` config. Having this `blockRewardContractCode` config allows chains to deploy hard fork by simply replacing the current config value, without the need from us to support any `multi` block reward scheme.

* Add update docs script to CI
Added a script to CI that will use the jsonrpc tool to update rpc
documentation then commit and push those to the wiki repo.
* fix gitlab ci lint
* Only apply jsonrpc docs update on tags
* Update gitlab-rpc-docs.sh
* Copy correct parity repo to jsonrpc folder
Copy correct parity repo to jsonrpc folder before attempting to build docs since the CI runner clones the repo as parity and not parity-ethereum.
* Fix JSONRPC docs CI job
Update remote config in wiki repo before pushing changes using a github
token for authentication. Add message to wiki tag when pushing changes.
Use project directory to correctly copy parity code base into the
jsonrpc repo for doc generation.
* Fix set_remote_wiki function call in CI
* Import the `home` crate in `util/dir`.
* Replace uses of `env::home_dir()` with `home::home_dir()`.
* `home` uses a 'correct' impl. on windows and the stdlib impl.
of `::home_dir` otherwise.
* Reexport `home::home_dir` from `util/dir`.
* Bump `util/dir` to 0.1.2.
* Provide `default_nonce` in tx`s when it´s missing
When `nonce` is missing in a `EthTransaction` will cause it to fall in
these cases provide `default_nonce` value instead!

* Address grumbles
* Fix PubSub for logs when using light client :
prior to this fix the pubsub process did send a
query for each new block header (and for each subs : there is something
to optimize here) by setting from and to of the filter at this block
number; but there was a bug in the code that fetch logs : it was non
inclusive for its start bound, meaning that with start bound = end bound
we never query any block (and attached logs).
* Option iter instead of once.
Use of bloom existing function to check if a bloom contains another.
* Makes from block header checking explicit
