core, core/vm: implemented a generic environment (#3348)

Environment is now a struct (not an interface). This
reduces a lot of tech-debt throughout the codebase where a virtual
machine environment had to be implemented in order to test or run it.

The new environment is suitable to be used en the json tests, core
consensus and light client.
