We were completely lacking ValidatorsCount that is supposed to track the
number of votes with particular count of consensus nodes which in theory can
change the number of active consensus nodes (if it ever to exceed the number
of standby validators), so we were not producing the right count and based on
that not giving the right set of validators.
Fixes#512.
Simple as that: UnregisteredAndHasNoVotes != !RegisteredAndHasVotes
Registered validators should stay in the DB, we might be in the process of
updating votes for them and that starts with subtraction.
Lack of FreeGasLimit in privnet leads to gas limit exceeding in case of transactions with small amount of GAS to be used for invoke operation (< real cost of the transaction). Solution: Fixed constraint in case when FreeGasLimit == 0. So now we are able to perform transactions in privnet with FreeGasLimit = 0 for free.
Tesnet sync failed with:

because some (not so) smart contract emitted a notification with an
InteropItem inside.
Fix mempool and chain locking
This allows us easily make 1000 Tx/s in 4-nodes privnet, fixes potential
double spends and improves mempool testing coverage.
Our mempool only contains valid verified transactions all the time, it never
has any unverified ones. Unverified pool made some sense for quick unverifying
after the new block acceptance (and gradual background reverification), but
reverification needs some non-trivial locking between blockchain and mempool
and internal mempool state locking (reverifying tx and moving it between
unverified and verified pools must be atomic). But our current reverification
is fast enough (and has all the appropriate locks), so bothering with
unverified pool makes little sense.
We not only need to remove transactions stored in the block, but also
invalidate some potential double spends caused by these transactions. Usually
new block contains a substantial number of transactions from the pool, so it's
easier to make one pass over it only keeping valid items rather than remove
them one by one and make an additional pass to recheck inputs/witnesses.
It doesn't harm as we have transactions naturally ordered by fee anyway and it
makes managing them a little easier. This also makes slices store item itself
instead of pointers to it which reduces the pressure on the memory subsystem.
They shouldn't depend on the chain state and for the same transaction they
should always produce the same result. Thus, it makes no sense recalculating
them over and over again.
Eliminate races between tx checks and adding them to the mempool, ensure the
chain doesn't change while we're working with the new tx. Ensure only one
block addition attempt could be in progress.
If blockchain is not closed, logging in defer can occur
after test has finished, which will lead to a panic with
"Log in goroutine after Test* has completed".
Error in Seek means something is terribly wrong (e.g. db was not opened) and
error drop is not the right thing to do, because caller
will continue working with the wrong view.
