This is a rewrite of the 'simulated backend', an implementation of the ethclient interfaces
which is backed by a simulated blockchain. It was getting annoying to maintain the old
version of the simulated backend feature because there was a lot of code duplication with
the main client.
The new version is built using parts that we already have: an in-memory geth node instance
running in developer mode provides the chain, while the Go API is provided by ethclient.
A backwards-compatibility wrapper is provided, but the simulated backend has also moved to
a more sensible import path: github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/ethclient/simulated

There is no need to depend on the old context package now that the
minimum Go version is 1.7. The move to "context" eliminates our weird
vendoring setup. Some vendored code still uses golang.org/x/net/context
and it is now vendored in the normal way.
This change triggered new vet checks around context.WithTimeout which
didn't fire with golang.org/x/net/context.
The need for these functions comes up in code that actually deploys and
uses contracts. As of this commit, they can be used with both
SimulatedBackend and ethclient.
SimulatedBackend gains some additional methods in the process and is now
safe for concurrent use.
In this commit, contract bindings and their backend start using the
Ethereum Go API interfaces offered by ethclient. This makes ethclient a
suitable replacement for the old remote backend and gets us one step
closer to the final stable Go API that is planned for go-ethereum 1.5.
The changes in detail:
* Pending state is optional for read only contract bindings.
BoundContract attempts to discover the Pending* methods via an
interface assertion. There are a couple of advantages to this:
ContractCaller is just two methods and can be implemented on top of
pretty much anything that provides Ethereum data. Since the backend
interfaces are now disjoint, ContractBackend can simply be declared as
a union of the reader and writer side.
* Caching of HasCode is removed. The caching could go wrong in case of
chain reorganisations and removing it simplifies the code a lot.
We'll figure out a performant way of providing ErrNoCode before the
1.5 release.
* BoundContract now ensures that the backend receives a non-nil context
with every call.
