- added some useful `chronicles` defines in the top-level nim.cfg
- converted some assert() calls to error codes to avoid a reported
segfault with -d:release
- the recoverable errors are being recovered from, in persistWorkItem()
- the only case that's a show stopper raises an exception
- port some "echo" logging to "chronicles"
- change the logging level of messages that should not appear by default
to TRACE instead of DEBUG
- remove the "nimbusTrace" define
- suppress logging for messages below the ERROR level in "nimble test"
Also implements transactional block persistence. Two issues
in the transaction processing code have been discovered that
might affect other usages such as the CALL instruction.
The main fix gets us past block 49000.

* checkpoint where refactoring and calling from GST runner doesn't break anything
* 14 new GSTs pass by refactoring contract creation out of p2p/chain and using from GST test runner
* 2 of 14 new tests fail in 32-bit builds
* switch from CREATE_CONTRACT_ADDRESS to isContractCreation
* switch another CREATE_CONTRACT_ADDRESS to isContactCreation
