consensus/ethash: move remote agent logic to ethash internal (#15853)

* consensus/ethash: start remote ggoroutine to handle remote mining

* consensus/ethash: expose remote miner api

* consensus/ethash: expose submitHashrate api

* miner, ethash: push empty block to sealer without waiting execution

* consensus, internal: add getHashrate API for ethash

* consensus: add three method for consensus interface

* miner: expose consensus engine running status to miner

* eth, miner: specify etherbase when miner created

* miner: commit new work when consensus engine is started

* consensus, miner: fix some logics

* all: delete useless interfaces

* consensus: polish a bit
