core: vm: modify randomness calculation algorithm (#173)
The original algorithm used for calculating algorithm is vulnerable to cross context re-entry attack. Example as follows: contract B { event Value(uint256 value); uint256 public value; function call() public { value = rand; emit Value(value); } } contract A { function randTwice(address bAddr) public { B b = B(bAddr); b.call.gas(100000)(); b.call.gas(100000)(); } } The two `b.call` will result in the same randomness value. This commit fix the issue by recording a called index used to store how many times opRand is called, and use it as argument to the Keccak call.
