Features:
* Build System: Update internal dependency of jsoncpp to 1.8.4, which introduces more strictness and reduces memory usage.
* Code Generator: Use native shift instructions on target Constantinople.
+ * Gas Estimator: Only explore paths with higher gas costs. This reduces accuracy but greatly improves the speed of gas estimation.
* Optimizer: Remove unnecessary masking of the result of known short instructions (``ADDRESS``, ``CALLER``, ``ORIGIN`` and ``COINBASE``).
* Type Checker: Deprecate the ``years`` unit denomination and raise a warning for it (or an error as experimental 0.5.0 feature).
* Type Checker: Make literals (without explicit type casting) an error for tight packing as experimental 0.5.0 feature.
