Improves the SSTORE gas calculation a bit. Previously we would pull up
the state object twice. This is okay for existing objects, since they
are cached, however non-existing objects are not cached, thus we needed
to go through all 128 diff layers as well as the disk layer twice, just
for the gas calculation

This PR does a few things including:
- Remove `ContractRef` interface
- Remove `vm.AccountRef` which implements `ContractRef` interface
- Maintain the `jumpDests` struct in EVM for sharing between call frames
- Simplify the delegateCall context initialization
This pull request refactors the EVM constructor by removing the
TxContext parameter.
The EVM object is frequently overused. Ideally, only a single EVM
instance should be created and reused throughout the entire state
transition of a block, with the transaction context switched as needed
by calling evm.SetTxContext.
Unfortunately, in some parts of the code, the EVM object is repeatedly
created, resulting in unnecessary complexity. This pull request is the
first step towards gradually improving and simplifying this setup.

This pull request introduces a state.Reader interface for state
accessing.
The interface could be implemented in various ways. It can be pure trie
only reader, or the combination of trie and state snapshot. What's more,
this interface allows us to have more flexibility in the future, e.g.
the
archive reader (for accessing archive state).
Additionally, this pull request removes the following metrics
- `chain/snapshot/account/reads`
- `chain/snapshot/storage/reads`
This change makes use of uin256 to represent balance in state. It touches primarily upon statedb, stateobject and state processing, trying to avoid changes in transaction pools, core types, rpc and tracers.
* core/vm: Remove interpreter loop interruption check
* core/vm: Unit test for interpreter loop interruption
* core/vm: Check for interpreter loop abort on every jump
