The Ibft consensus mechanism is responsible for sending a variety of
messages to other validating nodes in the network (provided they have
a point-to-point connection to them).
This change tracks which nodes have connected to the IBFT
subprotocol, and provides the functionality to only transmit messages
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*

* Upgrade ethereum reference tests
* Add support for sealEngine: NoProof by skipping PoW validation for ommer headers as well. Production code continues to always use full validation for ommers.
* Add Constantinople to reference test schedules ready for when we enable Constantinople tests.
* Blacklist the new reference tests that are failing while we investigate them.

The MiningCoordinator has been split into common, and ethhash
specific funcationality.
This adversely affects the JSON RPC, in that all mining related
RPCs are now generic based on the type of miner being used.

This commit adds the clique specific implementation of the Miner
executor.
It is responsible for starting a clique mining operation when
requested. It also supplies the functionality to blend vanity data
with validator data etc. in the extra data field.

Responsible for mining a block if the local node address
is a validator, and has not recently mined a block.
This has necessitated a slight rework of helper functions,
and shuffling of tests.

Clique Block Scheduler has been reworked to prevent high rate blocks
being created when the parent block's timestamp is behind the system
clock.
