The leaks were mostly in unit tests, and could all be resolved by
adding suitably-sized channel buffers or by restructuring the test
to not send on a channel after an error has occurred.
There is an unavoidable goroutine leak in Console.Interactive: when
we receive a signal, the line reader cannot be unblocked and will get
stuck. This leak is now documented and I've tried to make it slightly
less bad by adding a one-element buffer to the output channels of
the line-reading loop. Should the reader eventually awake from its
blocked state (i.e. when stdin is closed), at least it won't get stuck
trying to send to the interpreter loop which has quit long ago.

This commit introduces a new Subscription type, which is synonymous with
ethereum.Subscription. It also adds a couple of utilities that make
working with Subscriptions easier. The mot complex utility is Feed, a
synchronisation device that implements broadcast subscriptions. Feed is
slightly faster than TypeMux and will replace uses of TypeMux across the
go-ethereum codebase in the future.
This fixes an issue where the following would lead to a panic due to a
channel being closed twice:
* Start mux
* Stop mux
* Sub to mux
* Unsub
This is fixed by setting the subscriptions status to closed resulting in
the Unsubscribe to ignore the request when called.
