Depends on #120.

Does not include deeper simplifications that become possible with this approach; this is a fairly simple search and replace.

It's a protocol simplification (two states down to one) that makes way for other protocol simplifications (adjusting RANDAO instantly instead of at the end of the cycle, among other things), which was not viable before because of re-hashing costs, but is viable now, because of the SSZ tree hashing proposal: #120

First pass looks good. A few small notes.

I can handle the merge conflict once we merge in #120
