feat: use go-abi to replace go-ethereum abi library #789
Description
The go-ethereum/accounts/abi library use runtime reflection for convenience, but it's inefficient and introduce many runtime error and panic conditions (see #269 for example).
go-abi is developed just for precompile usage, it use code generation and generate statically typed structs and encoding/decoding routines. It's both safer to use and magnitudes faster than go-ethereum.
BTW, solidity's abi.encode/abi.decode functions are not implemented with go-ethereum/accounts/abi, they are also special treated by solc to generate code at compile time.
Benchmark
Benchmark shows that go-abi is magnitudes faster, and do exactly 1 allocation per operation.
