This is necessary for external users of the go-ethereum code who want to, for instance, build a custom node that plays back transactions, as core.ApplyTransaction requires a ChainConfig as a parameter.
According to our own instructions the genesis config attribute should be
"config". The genesis definition in the go code, however, has a field
called `ChainConfig`. This field now has a `json:"config"` struct tag so
that the json is properly unmarshalled.
This fixes#2482
geth js stopped the JS runtime after running the first input file
and blocked for pending callbacks. This commit makes it process
all files and enables quitting with Ctrl-C regardless of callbacks.
Error reporting is also improved. If a script fails to load, the error
is printed and includes the backtrace. package jsre now ensures that
otto is aware of the filename, the backtrace will contain them.
Before:
$ geth js bad.js; echo "exit $?"
... log messages ...
exit 0
After:
$ geth js bad.js; echo "exit $?"
... log messages ...
Fatal: JavaScript Error: Invalid number of input parameters

Refactored the abi package parsing and type handling. Relying mostly on
package reflect as opposed to most of our own type reflection. Our own
type reflection is still used however for cases such as Bytes and
FixedBytes (abi: bytes•).
This also inclused several fixes for slice handling of arbitrary and
fixed size for all supported types.
This also further removes implicit type casting such as assigning,
for example `[2]T{} = []T{1}` will fail, however `[2]T{} == []T{1, 2}`
(notice assigning *slice* to fixed size *array*). Assigning arrays to
slices will always succeed if they are of the same element type.
Incidentally also fixes#2379
Context keys must have a unique type in order to prevent
any unintented clashes. The code used int(1) as key.
Fix it by implementing the pattern recommended by package context.
