It reduces heap pressure a little for these elements as we don't have to
allocate/free them individually. And they're directly tied to transactions or
block, not being shared or anything like that, so it makes little sense for
them to be pointer-based. It only makes building transactions a little easier,
but that's obviously a minor usecase.
Drop wif.GetVerificationScript(), drop
smartcontract.CreateSignatureRedeemScript(), add GetVerificationScript()
directly to the PublicKey and use it everywhere.
This allows easier reuse of opcodes and in some cases allows to eliminate
dependencies on the whole vm package, like in compiler that only needs opcodes
and doesn't care about VM for any other purpose.
And yes, they're opcodes because an instruction is a whole thing with
operands, that's what context.Next() returns.
Param getters were redone to return errors because otherwise bad FuncParam
values could lead to panic. FuncParam itself might be not the most elegant
solution, but it works good enough for now.
The logic here is that we'll have all binary encoding/decoding done via our io
package, which simplifies error handling. This functionality doesn't belong to
util, so it's moved.
This also expands BufBinWriter with Reset() method to fit the needs of core
package.
PublicKey() for PrivateKey now just can't fail and it makes no sense to return
an error from it. There is a lot of associated functionality for which this
also is true, so adjust it accordingly and simplify a lot of code.

Fixes things like:
* exported type/method/function X should have comment or be unexported
* comment on exported type/method/function X should be of the form "X ..."
(with optional leading article)
Refs. #213.
And drop associated _pkg.dev remnants (refs. #307).
Original `dev` branch had two separate packages for public and private keys,
but those are so intertwined (`TestHelper` subpackage is a proof) that it's
better unite them and all associated code (like WIF and NEP-2) in one
package. This patch also:
* creates internal `keytestcases` package to share things with wallet (maybe
it'll be changed in some future)
* ports some tests from `dev`
* ports Verify() method for public key from `dev`
* expands TestPrivateKey() with public key check
* func to get private key from raw bytes
* added function to create raw transfer tx
* fixes
* more fixes
* prettify code and comments; neoscan interaction put in dedicated files
