`flatCallTracer` will now specify the type of a create in the action
via the `creationMethod` field.

Breaking changes:
- The ChainConfig was exposed to tracers via VMContext passed in
`OnTxStart`. This is unnecessary specially looking through the lens of
live tracers as chain config remains the same throughout the lifetime of
the program. It was there so that native API-invoked tracers could
access it. So instead we moved it to the constructor of API tracers.
Non-breaking:
- Change the default config of the tracers to be `{}` instead of nil.
This way an extra nil check can be avoided.
Refactoring:
- Rename `supply` struct to `supplyTracer`.
- Un-export some hook definitions.
Here we add a Go API for running tracing plugins within the main block import process.
As an advanced user of geth, you can now create a Go file in eth/tracers/live/, and within
that file register your custom tracer implementation. Then recompile geth and select your tracer
on the command line. Hooks defined in the tracer will run whenever a block is processed.
The hook system is defined in package core/tracing. It uses a struct with callbacks, instead of
requiring an interface, for several reasons:
- We plan to keep this API stable long-term. The core/tracing hook API does not depend on
on deep geth internals.
- There are a lot of hooks, and tracers will only need some of them. Using a struct allows you
to implement only the hooks you want to actually use.
All existing tracers in eth/tracers/native have been rewritten to use the new hook system.
This change breaks compatibility with the vm.EVMLogger interface that we used to have.
If you are a user of vm.EVMLogger, please migrate to core/tracing, and sorry for breaking
your stuff. But we just couldn't have both the old and new tracing APIs coexist in the EVM.

Adds support for a native call tracer with the Parity format, which outputs call frames
in a flat array. This tracer accepts the following options:
- `convertParityErrors: true` will convert error messages to match those of Parity
- `includePrecompiles: true` will report all calls to precompiles. The default
matches Parity's behavior where CALL and STATICCALLs to precompiles are excluded
Incompatibilities with Parity include:
- Parity removes the result object in case of failure. This behavior is maintained
with the exception of reverts. Revert output usually contains useful information,
i.e. Solidity revert reason.
- The `gasUsed` field accounts for intrinsic gas (e.g. 21000 for simple transfers)
and refunds unlike Parity
- Block rewards are not reported
