Do not fill verification script randomly as there is a probability
for it to be executed sucessfully.

io: remove Read/Write LE/BE
They were replaced with faster specialized versions earlier. The only obstacle
on the way to removing them completely was dbft library, which is also updated
in this PR.
go vet is not happy about them:
pkg/io/binaryReader.go:92:21: method ReadByte() byte should have signature ReadByte() (byte, error)
pkg/io/binaryWriter.go:75:21: method WriteByte(u8 byte) should have signature WriteByte(byte) error
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.
add dao which takes care about all CRUD operations on storage
remove blockchain state since everything is stored on change
remove storage operations from structs(entities)
move structs to entities package
This change (closely related to the neo-project/neo#1321 proposal) speeds up
1.4M mainnet blocks import by 30%. Basically, we're eliminating key decoding
for block's multisignature that has the same keys most of the time.
Things I don't like about this patch:
* yet another parameter for verifyHashAgainstScript()
* vm keys are not copied in/out
But it's rather simple and solves the problem for this particular case, so I
think it's worth it.
Serialization and struct improvements
This set improves serialization/deserialization performance and, more
importantly, simplifies memory management for some structures avoiding
useless copying.
It adds some percents to the 1,4M blocks import test.
It can't be really solved in many cases (it's used in P2P protocol and we have
to follow the usual conventions there) and in most of the cases we don't care
about the difference between nil slice and zero-length slice.
It makes very little sense having pointers here, these structures MUST have
some kind of key and this key is not gonna be wandering somewhere on its
own. Fixes a part of #519.
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.
reflect.MethodByName is a rather expensive function especially when
called on hot path. This became obvious during profiling of db restore.
This commit replaces reflection with a cast to an interface.
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.
Which speeds it up at least twofold for a typical 32-bytes write (and that's
for a very naïve test that allocates new BufBinWriter on every iteration):
