This PR reduces the amount of work we do when answering header queries, e.g. when a peer
is syncing from us.
For some items, e.g block bodies, when we read the rlp-data from database, we plug it
directly into the response package. We didn't do that for headers, but instead read
headers-rlp, decode to types.Header, and re-encode to rlp. This PR changes that to keep it
in RLP-form as much as possible. When a node is syncing from us, it typically requests 192
contiguous headers. On master it has the following effect:
- For headers not in ancient: 2 db lookups. One for translating hash->number (even though
the request is by number), and another for reading by hash (this latter one is sometimes
cached).
- For headers in ancient: 1 file lookup/syscall for translating hash->number (even though
the request is by number), and another for reading the header itself. After this, it
also performes a hashing of the header, to ensure that the hash is what it expected. In
this PR, I instead move the logic for "give me a sequence of blocks" into the lower
layers, where the database can determine how and what to read from leveldb and/or
ancients.
There are basically four types of requests; three of them are improved this way. The
fourth, by hash going backwards, is more tricky to optimize. However, since we know that
the gap is 0, we can look up by the parentHash, and stlil shave off all the number->hash
lookups.
The gapped collection can be optimized similarly, as a follow-up, at least in three out of
four cases.

This doesn't fix all go-critic warnings, just the most serious ones.

This removes some code:
- The clique engine calculated the snapshot twice when verifying headers/blocks.
- The method GetBlockHashesFromHash in Header/Block/Lightchain was only used by tests. It
is now removed from the API.
- The method GetTdByHash internally looked up the number before calling GetTd(hash, num).
In many cases, callers already had the number, and used this method just because it has a
shorter name. I have removed the method to make the API surface smaller.

This PR optimizes the broadcast loop. Instead of iterating twice through a given set of transactions to weed out which peers have and which do not have a tx, to send/announce transactions, we do it only once.
This commit splits the eth package, separating the handling of eth and snap protocols. It also includes the capability to run snap sync (https://github.com/ethereum/devp2p/blob/master/caps/snap.md) , but does not enable it by default.
