This PR significantly changes the APIs for instantiating Ethereum nodes in
a Go program. The new APIs are not backwards-compatible, but we feel that
this is made up for by the much simpler way of registering services on
node.Node. You can find more information and rationale in the design
document: https://gist.github.com/renaynay/5bec2de19fde66f4d04c535fd24f0775.
There is also a new feature in Node's Go API: it is now possible to
register arbitrary handlers on the user-facing HTTP server. In geth, this
facility is used to enable GraphQL.
There is a single minor change relevant for geth users in this PR: The
GraphQL API is no longer available separately from the JSON-RPC HTTP
server. If you want GraphQL, you need to enable it using the
./geth --http --graphql flag combination.
The --graphql.port and --graphql.addr flags are no longer available.

This change makes getBalance, getCode, getStorageAt, getProof,
call, getTransactionCount return an error if the block number in
the request doesn't exist. getHeaderByNumber still returns null
for missing headers.
ethereum/go-ethereum#16734 introduced BlockHash to the FilterQuery
struct. However, ethclient was not updated to include BlockHash in the actual
RPC request.
ethclient now returns ethereum.NotFound if the server returns null and
no error while accessing blockchain data.
The light client cannot provide arbitrary transactions. The change to
split transaction access into its own interface emphasizes that
transactions should not be relied on and recommends use of logs.
ethclient implements the proposed Ethereum Go API. There are no tests at
the moment, a suite that excercises all implementations of the API will
be added later.
