* separate migration from util and make its dependencies into libs:
* snappy
* kvdb
* error
* common
* renamed common -> macros
* util error does not depend on snappy module
* ethsync does not depend on util nor ethcore_error
* nibbleslice and nibblevec merged with patricia_trie crate
* removed unused dependencies from util
* util journaldb traits does not need to be public
* util_error
* fixed ethcore compile error
* ignore .swo files
* Update chain.rs
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.
