* Ethereum Classic Monetary Policy
Create a new parameter `ecip1017EraRounds`. When the block number
passes one era rounds, the reward is reduced by 20%.
See https://github.com/ethereumproject/ECIPs/blob/master/ECIPs/ECIP-1017.md
* Update rewards for uncle miners for ECIP1017
In the monetary policy, the rewards are changed from "up to 7/8 of the
reward" to "1/32 of the reward".
* Fix an off-by-one error in ECIP1017 era calculation
According to
https://github.com/ethereumproject/ECIPs/blob/master/ECIPs/ECIP-1017.md,
when in block number 5,000,000, it should still be in Era 1 (which in
our code `era == 0`). So we need to check whether the `rem` equals to
zero and act accordingly when calculating the era.
* `ecip1017_era_rounds` missing from EthashParams when run in build bot
* strip out ecip1017_eras_block_reward function and add unit test
* The front-end for each hard-fork, also EIP-160.
* Address EIP161 a/c
* Include EIP-161b
* EIP-161 part d.
* Fix test build.
* Fix one test, add another.
* Fix use of bloom & renaming.
* Initial groundwork for EIP-155
* Fix minor bug.
* Fix all tests finally.
* Rest of EIP-155.
* Add tests for EIP-155 algorithm.
Update transaction tests validation.
* Minor reformat.
* Address grumbles.
* Remove unused code.
* Fix SUICIDE gas mechanism and add consensus tests.
* Remove commented code.
* Set Frontier hardfork block number
* Fix warning.
* Transaction tests,
* Add Ethereum Classic support
(Rename homestead-dogmatic -> classic)
* Additional change needed.
* More needed changes.
* Separate database path for known forks.
* Address minor grumble.
