closes Neptune-Crypto#423 implements a custom finite-state-machine that processes events in the mining loop and handles state-transitions. benefits/reasons: 1. Simplify the complex code in the mining loop so it is more maintainable. 2. move towards a lock-free mining loop, which means less possibility of delay for miners. 3. Cleanly support granular display of mining-status, so user can see a message like "waiting for block proposal" rather than just "inactive". 4. consolidate/unify pause and unpause logic, since pausing can occur for different reasons. 5. Make the core logic of transitioning between mining states testable via unit tests.
