Here we update the eth and snap protocol test suites with a new test chain,
created by the hivechain tool. The new test chain uses proof-of-stake. As such,
tests using PoW block propagation in the eth protocol are removed. The test suite
now connects to the node under test using the engine API in order to make it
accept transactions.
The snap protocol test suite has been rewritten to output test descriptions and
log requests more verbosely.

This change updates our urfave/cli dependency to the v2 branch of the library.
There are some Go API changes in cli v2:
- Flag values can now be accessed using the methods ctx.Bool,
ctx.Int, ctx.String, ... regardless of whether the flag is 'local' or
'global'.
- v2 has built-in support for flag categories. Our home-grown category
system is removed and the categories of flags are assigned as part of
the flag definition.
For users, there is only one observable difference with cli v2: flags must now
strictly appear before regular arguments. For example, the following command is
now invalid:
geth account import mykey.json --password file.txt
Instead, the command must be invoked as follows:
geth account import --password file.txt mykey.json
TAP is a text format for test results. Parsers for it are available in many languages,
making it easy to consume. I want TAP output from our protocol tests because the
Hive wrapper around them needs to know about the test names and their individual
results and logs. It would also be possible to just write this info as JSON, but I don't
want to invent a new format.
This also improves the normal console output for tests (when running without --tap).
It now prints -- RUN lines before any output from the test, and indents the log output
by one space.
This change moves the RLPx protocol implementation into a separate package,
p2p/rlpx. The new package can be used to establish RLPx connections for
protocol testing purposes.
