Geth js commands coming through jail with a callback will now be executed truly asynchronously blocking jail only when an actual interaction with VM is performed.
Technically, it registers a new handler jeth.sendAsync which executes functions with callbacks asynchronously.
Changes include:
1. Send and SendAsync now use cell.VM instead of otto.Otto providing proper locking.
2. Unmarshalling in ExecuionPolicy.ExecuteWithClient is now done into var result interface{} instead of var result json.RawMessage because test case 0 of TestJailWhisper failed providing byte codes instead of 5.0.
3. Due to the asynchronous nature of web3 calls new weird timeouts in tests have been introduced. They may fail sometimes but I gave up trying to implement a more reliable and readable solution.
Now all transactions in both cases are waiting for CompleteTransaction or DiscardTransaction to proceed independently from their destination: upstream of local
* 3. Removed extra `jail` prefix in the jail package
* Removed sendMessage and showSuggestions handlers because they're already set in registerHandlers()
* Remove extra asserts
* Changed assertions everywhere to testify
* Exposed JailCell.Call and removed Jail.Cell duplicate method
* Fixed review comments
IMPORTANT: The known issue is that in case of configured UpstreamRPCServer transactions are sent immediately not waiting for CompleteTransaction or DiscardTransaction which brings inconsistency in behaviour and acts as a security breach.
