ab0f30c00d mining: drop getwork support.
Since the Midstate is no longer needed, switch to using
crypto/sha256.

btcec: Consolidate tests into the btcec package.
Putting the test code in the same package makes it easier for forks
since they don't have to change the import paths as much and it also
gets rid of the need for internal_test.go to bridge.

Also, remove the exception from the lint checks about returning the
unexported type since it is no longer required.

3b39edcaa1 txscript: optimize sigcache lookup (#598)
Profiles discovered that lookups into the signature cache included an
expensive comparison to the stored `sigInfo` struct. This lookup had the
potential to be more expensive than directly verifying the signature
itself!

In addition, evictions were rather expensive because they involved
reading from /dev/urandom, or equivalent, for each eviction once the
signature cache was full as well as potentially iterating over every
item in the cache in the worst-case.

To remedy this poor performance several changes have been made:
* Change the lookup key to the fixed sized 32-byte signature hash
* Perform a full equality check only if there is a cache hit which
    results in a significant  speed up for both insertions and existence
checks
* Override entries in the case of a colliding hash on insert Add an
* .IsEqual() method to the Signature and PublicKey types in the
  btcec package to facilitate easy equivalence testing
* Allocate the signature cache map with the max number of entries in
  order to avoid unnecessary map re-sizes/allocations
* Optimize evictions from the signature cache Delete the first entry
* seen which is safe from manipulation due to
    the pre image resistance of the hash function
* Double the default maximum number of entries within the signature
  cache due to the reduction in the size of a cache entry
  * With this eviction scheme, removals are effectively O(1)

Fixes #575.
