This commit replaces the deep-copy based state revert mechanism with a
linear complexity journal. This commit also hides several internal
StateDB methods to limit the number of ways in which calling code can
use the journal incorrectly.
As usual consultation and bug fixes to the initial implementation were
provided by @karalabe, @obscuren and @Arachnid. Thank you!

This change introduces a global, per-state cache that keeps account data
in the canon state. Thanks to @karalabe for lots of fixes.

The amount of gas available for tx execution was tracked in the
StateObject representing the coinbase account. This commit makes the gas
counter a separate type in package core, which avoids unintended
consequences of intertwining the counter with state logic.
* Update => SyncIntermediate
* Added SyncObjects
SyncIntermediate only updates whatever has changed, but, as a side
effect, requires much more disk space.
SyncObjects will only sync whatever is required for a block and will not
save intermediate state to disk. As drawback this requires more time
when more txs come in.
