This change speeds up trie hashing and all other activities that require
RLP encoding of trie nodes by approximately 20%. The speedup is achieved by
avoiding reflection overhead during node encoding.
The interface type trie.node now contains a method 'encode' that works with
rlp.EncoderBuffer. Management of EncoderBuffers is left to calling code.
trie.hasher, which is pooled to avoid allocations, now maintains an
EncoderBuffer. This means memory resources related to trie node encoding
are tied to the hasher pool.

* trie: remove hasvalue notion
According to the benchmarks, type assertion between the pointer and
interface is extremely fast.
BenchmarkIntmethod-12 1000000000 1.91 ns/op
BenchmarkInterface-12 1000000000 2.13 ns/op
BenchmarkTypeSwitch-12 1000000000 1.81 ns/op
BenchmarkTypeAssertion-12 2000000000 1.78 ns/op
So the overhead for asserting whether the shortnode has "valuenode"
child is super tiny. No necessary to have another field.

* core, crypto: various allocation savings regarding tx handling
* core: reduce allocs for gas price comparison
This change reduces the allocations needed for comparing different transactions to each other.
A call to `tx.GasPrice()` copies the gas price as it has to be safe against modifications and
also needs to be threadsafe. For comparing and ordering different transactions we don't need
these guarantees
* core: added tx.GasPriceIntCmp for comparison without allocation
adds a method to remove unneeded allocation in comparison to tx.gasPrice
* core/types: pool legacykeccak256 objects in rlpHash
rlpHash is by far the most used function in core that allocates a legacyKeccak256 object on each call.
Since it is so widely used it makes sense to add pooling here so we relieve the GC.
On my machine these changes result in > 100 MILLION less allocations and > 30 GB less allocated memory.
* reverted some changes
