Disable some trace messages which appeared a lot in the output and probably
aren't so useful any more, when block processing is functioning well at high
speed.
Turning on the trace level globally is useful to get a feel for what's
happening, but only if each category is kept to a reasonable amount.
As well as overwhelming the output so that it's hard to see general activity,
some of these messages happen so much they severely slow down processing. Ones
called every time an EVM opcode uses some gas are particularly extreme.
These messages have all been chosen as things which are probably not useful any
more (the relevant functionality has been debugged and is tested plenty).
These have been commented out rather than removed. It may be that turning
trace topics on/off, or other selection, is a better longer term solution, but
that will require better command line options and good defaults for sure.
(I think higher levels `tracev` and `tracevv` levels (extra verbose) would be
more useful for this sort of deep tracing on request.)
For now, enabling `--log-level:TRACE` on the command line is quite useful as
long as we keep each category reasonable, and this patch tries to keep that
balance.
- Don't show "has transactions" on virtually every block imported.
- Don't show "Sender" and "txHash" lines on every transaction processed.
- Don't show "GAS CONSUMPTION" on every opcode executed", this is way too much.
- Don't show "GAS RETURNED" and "GAS REFUND" on each contract call.
- Don't show "op: Stop" on every Stop opcode, which means every transaction.
- Don't show "Insufficient funds" whenever a contract can't call another.
- Don't show "ECRecover", "SHA256 precompile", "RIPEMD160", "Identity"
or even "Call precompile" every time a precompile is called. These are
very well tested now.
- Don't show "executeOpcodes error" whenever a contract returns an error.
(This is changed to `trace` too, it's a normal event that is well tested.)

why:
kludge not needed anymore for oph_handlers.nim sub-sources and sources
that rely on oph_handlers.nim (but not state_transactions.nim which
relies on computation.nim.)
why:
the v2 prefix of the file name was used as a visual aid when
comparing vm2 against vm sources
details:
all renamed v2*.nim sources compile locally with the -d:kludge:1 flag
set or without (some work with either)
only sources not renamed yet: v2state_transactions.nim
why:
using function stubs made it possible to check the syntax of an op
handler source file by compiling this very file. this was previously
impossible due cyclic import/include mechanism.
details:
only oph_call.nim, oph_create.nim and subsequently op_handlers.nim
still need the -d:kludge:1 flag for syntax check compiling. this flag
also works with interpreter_dispatch.nim which imports op_handlers.nim.
why:
step towards breaking circular dependency
details:
some functions from v2computation.nim have been extracted into
compu_helper.nim which does not explicitly back-import
v2computation.nim. all non recursive op handlers now import this source
file rather than v2computation.nim.
recursive call/create op handler still need to import v2computation.nim.
the executeOpcodes() function from interpreter_dispatch.nim has been
moved to v2computation.nim which allows for <import> rather than
<include> the interpreter_dispatch.nim source.
why:
this allows for passing back information which can eventually be
used for reducing use of exceptions
caveat:
call/create currently needs to un-capture the call-by-reference
(wrapper) argument using the Computation reference inside
why:
the previous approach was replacing the function-lets in
opcode_impl.nim by the particulate table handlers. the test
functions will verify the the handler functions are sort of
correct but not the assignments in the fork tables.
the handler names of old and new for tables are checked here.
caveat:
verifying tables currently takes a while at compile time.
