* aura: broadcast empty step message instead of sealing empty block
* aura: add empty_step messages to seal
* aura: include parent_hash in empty step message
* aura: verify received empty step messages
* aura: verify empty step messages in block
* aura: fix dead lock on empty_steps
* aura: fix EmptyStep Encodable
* aura: take number of empty steps into account in chain score
* aura: use empty step signers for finality
* aura: add empty "empty step" messages to seal when reading from spec
* aura: fix EmptyStep rlp encoding
* aura: use Vec<u8> instead of Bytes
* aura: fix block empty step verification
* Update .gitlab-ci.yml
fix lint
* aura: fix accumulation of empty step signatures for finality
* aura: include empty steps in seal signature
* aura: configurable max number of empty steps
* engine: pass block header to seal_fields method
This is necessary to make the number of seal fields dynamic,
e.g. activating a transition on a certain block number that changes
the seal.
* aura: add transition to enable empty step messages
* aura: clear old empty step messages on verify_block_external
* aura: ignore empty step messages from the future
* aura: report skipped primaries when empty steps are not enabled
* aura: fix tests
* aura: report misbehavior
* aura: add tests for rolling finality with multiple signatures
* engine: fix validator set test
In this test the block validation wasn't failing because the block was in the
future (expected failure) but was instead failing because the author of the
block isn't the expected authority. Since we added reporting of blocks produced
by the wrong authority this test started failing.
* aura: reward all the authors of empty step messages
* aura: fix reward attribution for new blocks
* aura: add tests for empty steps broadcasting and inclusion in blocks
* aura: reduce size of empty step messages in seal
* aura: add test for empty step inclusion in blocks
* aura: add test for rewarding of empty steps
* aura: add test for empty steps validation
* aura: fix rlp encoding of sealed empty step
* aura: fix grumbles

* 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
This is a huge change, which includes some changes to replace code that
originally cloned to reuse allocations instead. The updated
`elastic-array` crate renames its consuming `Vec`-conversion method to
`into_vec`, which means that I can do a simple
`sed -i 's/to_vec/into_vec/'` and then fix the compilation errors.
This commit is probably a minor performance win and definitely a
significant readability win.

* 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
