This commit updates geth to 1.8.17 and adds a possibility to enable metrics during compilation time.
The cascade of issues forced us to upgrade geth to 1.8.17 in order to allow enabling metrics during compilation time. 1.8.17 introduced `NodeID` refactoring and `enode` package which affected our peers pool and integration with Discovery V5.
- Replace command line flags with `-c` config flag. Part of #1180
- Convert node config private keys to hex-encoded string versions.
- Remove `GenerateConfig` from library.
- Remove unused `FirebaseConfig` from library.
- Fix loading of `config/status-chain-genesis.json` in non-dev machines.
