The Ibft consensus mechanism is responsible for sending a variety of

to nodes which are also validators.
* [minor] distribution tweaks
* the 'pantheon:client' project is empty, and results in an empty jar, delete
* clique hard codes a version, delete so the parent takes effect
* clique does not describe it's jar, add description
* evmtools does not describe it's jar, add description.
results in
* clique-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT -> pantheon-clique-0.8.0-RC
* evmtools-0.8.0-SNAPSHOT -> pantheon-evmtools-0.8.0-RC
* client-0.8.0-SNAPSHOT -> *deleted*
* spotless formatting on the gradle file
* comment out the @Option annotation
* eliminate syncModeOptionMustBeUsed
* update to OverrideDefaultValuesIfKeyIsPresentInConfigFile
* unify on comment out approach
The MiningCoordinator has been split into common, and ethhash
