This seriously improves the serialization/deserialization performance for
several reasons:
* no time spent in `binary` reflection
* no memory allocations being made on every read/write
* uses fast ReadBytes everywhere it's appropriate
It also makes Fixed8 Serializable just for convenience.
Before this patch on block import we could easily be spending more than 6
seconds out of 30 in Uint256 encoding for UnspentBalance, now it's completely
off the radar.
It's mostly used for Serializable and in other cases where one needs to
estimate binary-encoded size of the stucture. This also simplifies future
removal of the Size() from Serializable.
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.
Simplifies a lot of code and removes some duplication. Unfortunately I had to
move test_util random functions in same commit to avoid cycle
dependencies. One of these random functions was also used in core/transaction
testing, to simplify things I've just dropped it there and used a static
string (which is nice to have for a test anyway).
There is still sha256 left in wallet (but it needs to pass Hash structure into
the signing function).
With associated test and drop duplicating Uint160 implementation from
_pkg.dev. It doesn't seem to be used in pkg code at the moment, but still it
can be useful. Refs #307.

2) Added new methods to satisfy the blockchainer interface: IsLowPriority, Verify, GetMemPool
* Added new methods: RelayTxn, RelayDirectly
* Fixed tests
* Implemented RPC server method sendrawtransaction
* Refactor getrawtransaction, sendrawtransaction in separate methods
* Moved 'secondsPerBlock' to config file
* Implemented Kim suggestions:
1) Fixed data race issues
2) refactor Verify method
3) Get rid of unused InputIntersection method due to refactoring Verify method
4) Fixed bug in https://github.com/CityOfZion/neo-go/pull/174#discussion_r264108135
5) minor simplications of the code
* Fixed minor issues related to
1) space
2) getter methods do not need pointer on the receiver
3) error message
4) refactoring CompareTo method in uint256.go
* Fixed small issues
* Use sync.RWMutex instead of sync.Mutex
* Refined (R)Lock/(R)Unlock
* return error instead of bool in Verify methods
