Split parsing of genesis config from creating initial state (#209)

* Make GenesisConfigFile responsible for handling all the content in the genesis config file and rename GenesisConfig to GenesisState as it is now just responsible for creating the initial state at genesis.

* In CliqueProtocolController, pass the network ID to EthProtocolManager instead of the chain ID and use  downloader parallelism setting instead of network ID for the number of threads.
