* switch to chronos metrics, remove insecure
See https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/pull/2468
also fixes pcre linking for real, and adds some random build flags that
help nimbus-eth2 stay afloat
* fix help
* don't omit frame pointers on windows
The "new block chain json tests" were being skipped on Linux, but silently so
that CI didn't notice. These are a significant part of the Ethereum test suite.
See the missing output from `make test`, also visible in CI logs for Linux
targets (prior to this commit):
[OK] tests/fixtures/eth_tests/TransactionTests/ttGasPrice/TransactionWithGasPriceOverflow.json
[OK] tests/fixtures/eth_tests/TransactionTests/ttGasPrice/TransactionWithHighGasPrice.json
[Suite] new block chain json tests
<-- nothing here
[Suite] Fork ID tests
[OK] MainNet
[OK] RopstenNet
Commit 3d468a7 (`fixes path pointing to eth_tests`) renamed the JSON fixture
source directoryf in the witness-builder tests but not the regular blockchain
tests. As a result, searching for JSON test files yielded zero results. To
make this less likely in future, zero results is now an error.

Commit 3d468a7 (`fixes path pointing to eth_tests`) renamed a test output
file subtly, changing just the capitalisation:
- jsonTest(newFolder, "newBlockChainTests", testFixture, skipNewBCTests)
+ jsonTest(newFolder, "newBlockchainTests", testFixture, skipNewBCTests)
However, the file checked into the repo continued to be the old name, uppercase
`C`. Of course, Mac and Windows have a sort of case insensitivity and Linux
does not.
This meant, on Linux, both files were created, test differences didn't make
themselves visible in `git diff`, and the repo would not get updates with
changed test output. On Mac and Windows it worked.

Prior to this commit, when using discv4 (Kademlia) to find peers, there is a
crash after a few minutes. It occurs for most of us on Eth1 mainnet, and
everyone on Ropsten.
Tested for about 4 days constant operation on Ropsten. The crash which occured
every few minutes no longer occurs, and discv4 keeps working.

why:
it was convenient to have relocatable source modules when writing the
vm interface wrappers. this patch moves it back to the standard.
also:
there are no deep links into the vm folder anymore which leaves some
room for manoeuvring inside
why:
the nvm_ prefix was used inside the vm folder to hide them temporarily
from the outside world while writing export wrappers. now all
functionality is accessed via vm_*, rather than vm/* imports.
todo:
at a later stage the import headers of the vm modules need to get fixed
to meet style guide standards (as jacek kindly pointed out.)
why:
relative paths make sources inherently non-relocatable
details:
import base is set to the nimbus directoy, so importing ./stack
from file interpreter.nim becomes vm/stack etc.
caveat:
a file named nimbus/strformat.nim would clash with strformat (but
not with std/strformat)
why:
under win/mingw32 the --docRoot argument value for the NIM doc
generator needs a window-ish path C:\\MinGW\\msys\\1.0\\home\\...
also:
fix clean up for nimdoc.out.css or nimdoc_out.css (varies on
win/posix operating system)
why:
* easy browsing of prototype docs, allows to follow links with
a web browser on the local file system
* some md & png files may contain additional documentation
overview:
* separate nimbus/makefile, try "make -C nimbus" for instructions
* running "make -C nimbus docs" will do the job
* x-ref file in nimbus/docs/theindex.html
* additional md and png files in nimbus/docs/ex/.. subdirectory
details:
* a newer nim compiler provides better referencing when available, in
particular the back link to the indices are not provided by the 1.2.10
nim compiler (automatically handled by makefile)
* make patterns are used to update files only when the timestamp changes
* should provide "discount" markdown generator, otherwise fallback
to <pre/> encapsulated text file
