* rpc: remove 'exported or builtin' restriction for parameters
There is no technial reason for this restriction because package reflect
can create values of any type. Requiring parameters and return values to
be exported causes a lot of noise in package exports.
* rpc: fix staticcheck warnings
This PR introduces clique_status which gives info about the health of
the clique network.
It's currently a bit PITA to find out how a clique network is
performing, and it can easily happen that sealers drop off -- and
everything is 'fine' until one more signer drops off, and the network
suddenly halts.
The new method provides the following stats:
- Which signers are currently active, and have signed blocks in the last
N (set to 64) blocks?
- How many blocks has each signer signed?
- What is the difficulty in the last N blocks, compared to the
theoretical maximum?
* core: s/isEIP155/isEIP2/ (fix)
This signature variable name reflects a spec'd change
in gas cost for creating contracts as documented in EIP2 (Homestead HF).
https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/blob/master/EIPS/eip-2.md#specification
* core: s/isEIP2/sIsHomestead/g
Use isHomestead since Homestead is what the caller
and rest of the code uses.
* build: use golangci-lint
This changes build/ci.go to download and run golangci-lint instead
of gometalinter.

* rpc: improve codec abstraction
rpc.ServerCodec is an opaque interface. There was only one way to get a
codec using existing APIs: rpc.NewJSONCodec. This change exports
newCodec (as NewFuncCodec) and NewJSONCodec (as NewCodec). It also makes
all codec methods non-public to avoid showing internals in godoc.
While here, remove codec options in tests because they are not
supported anymore.
* p2p/simulations: use github.com/gorilla/websocket
This package was the last remaining user of golang.org/x/net/websocket.
Migrating to the new library wasn't straightforward because it is no
longer possible to treat WebSocket connections as a net.Conn.
* vendor: delete golang.org/x/net/websocket
* rpc: fix godoc comments and run gofmt
