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.
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.
Same thing done in a2a8981979 for PUSHBYTES,
failing to read the amount of bytes specified should lead to FAULT. Also
makes readUint16() and readUint32() panic as this is the behavior we want in
these cases. Add some tests along the way.
Before:
NEO-GO-VM > loadgo h.go
READY: loaded 16 instructions
NEO-GO-VM > ip
instruction pointer at -1 (PUSH0)
After:
NEO-GO-VM > loadgo h.go
READY: loaded 16 instructions
NEO-GO-VM > ip
instruction pointer at -1 (NOP)
I think NOP is a little less scary.
