Adds rule to EIP-1 that references to other EIPs must use relative path format and the first reference must be linked. (#2947 )

I have gone through and updated all existing EIPs to match this rule, including EIP-1.

In some cases, people were using markdown citations, I suspect because the long-form was a bit verbose to inline.  Since the relative path is quite short, I moved these to inline but I wouldn't be opposed to putting them back to citation format if that is desired by the authors.

In doing the migration/cleanup, I found some EIP references to EIPs that don't actually exist.  In these cases I tried to excise the reference from the EIP as best I could.

It is worth noting that the Readme actually already had this rule, it just wasn't expressed properly in EIP-1 and the "Citation Format" section of the readme I think caused people a bit of confusion (when citing externally, you should use the citation format).

1803	Rename opcodes for clarity	Alex Beregszaszi (@axic)	https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/eip-1803-rename-opcodes-for-clarity/3345	Standards Track	Interface	Draft	2017-07-28	141

Abstract

Rename the BALANCE, SHA3, NUMBER, GASLIMIT, GAS and INVALID opcodes to reflect their true meaning.

Specification

Rename the opcodes as follows:

BALANCE (0x31) to EXTBALANCE to be in line with EXTCODESIZE, EXTCODECOPY and EXTCODEHASH
SHA3 (0x20) to KECCAK256
NUMBER (0x43) to BLOCKNUMBER
GASLIMIT (0x45) to BLOCKGASLIMIT to avoid confusion with the gas limit of the transaction
GAS (0x5a) to GASLEFT to be clear what it refers to
INVALID (0xfe) to ABORT to clearly articulate when someone refers this opcode as opposed to "any invalid opcode"

Backwards Compatibility

This has no effect on any code. It can influence what mnemonics assemblers will use.

Implementation

Not applicable.

References

EIP-6 previously renamed SUICIDE (0xff) to SELFDESTRUCT. Renaming SHA3 was previously proposed by EIP-59.
