When mining is enabled, it waits for either a new block event, or a tx
notif or recommit interval before it starts mining the first block. This
PR achieves the following things:
- Start mining immediately (subsequent blocks will be mined via the new
head channel or miner.recommit timer).
- Modifies the conditions when it needs to look for new mining work
- Don't start mining on arrival of new transactions as it can be too
frequent (only for bor consensus as of now).
- Reset timer only if some work was done previously
- always RLock all snapshots - to guarantee consistency
- introduce class View (analog of RoTx and MakeContext)
- move read methods to View object
- View object will be managed by temporal_tx

Currently, the p2p ports require an explicit enumeration of ports to
pick. Sometimes, for instance when writing integration tests utilizing
an Erigon binary the particular p2p port does not matter and trying to
pick non-allocated port ranges is fragile.
This small PR simply checks to see if the enumerated port is '0', in
which case it disables the probing check which would otherwise cause
Erigon not to try binding to an ephemeral port.

Blob transactions are SSZ encoded, so it had to be added to decoding.
There are 2 encoding forms: `network` and `minimal` (usual). Network
encoded blob transactions include "wrapper data" which are `kzgs`,
`blobs` and `proofs`, and decoded by `DecodeWrappedTransaction`. For
previous types of transactions the network encoding is no different.
Execution-payloads / blocks use the minimal encoding of transactions. In
the transaction-pool and local transaction-journal the network encoding
is used.
Concerns:
1. Possible performance reduction caused by these changes, not sure if
streams are better then slices. Go slices in this modifications are
read-only, so they should be referred to the same underlying array and
passed by a reference.
2. If `DecodeWrappedTransaction` and `DecodeTransaction` will create
confusion and should be merged into one function.
This is the beginning of the series of changes to make it possible to
run multiple instances of erigon inside a single process (as devnet tool
does), with the logging from these processes going to respective log
files correctly.
This is the first part where the initial infrastructure is being
established

* Enable the `clique` option in the `--http.api` flag.
* List of Clique commands:
`clique_getSnapshot(block number)`
`clique_getSnapshotAtHash(block hash)`
`clique_getSnapshotAtHash(block hash)`
`clique_getSigners(block number)`
`clique_getSignersAtHash(block hash)`
`clique_proposals()`
`clique_propose(signer address, bool)`
`clique_discard(signer address)`
`clique_status()`
Example:
`curl --data
'{"method":"clique_getSigners","params":[],"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}' -H
"Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://localhost:8545`
* Please be careful while using the Clique API. Do not make the HTTP API
public on the Clique's signer node, as anyone can directly call a Clique
command. Instead, it should only be allowed in the localhost by using
the flag `--http.addr "127.0.0.1"`.
