Geth 1.5.6 - Peach (:peach:) is a refactor and clean up (plumping) release.

This release also improves the EVMs call stack (#3378) and improves the overal EVM performance by 40% and is a pre-patch for the next 64bit gas counting PR. It will also allow for unmetered EVM calls for non-consensus critical execution (e.g. eth_call), however at this point this has not yet been integrated.
