common/compiler: simplify solc wrapper

Support for legacy version 0.9.x is gone. The compiler version is no
longer cached. Compilation results (and the version) are read directly
from stdout using the --combined-json flag. As a workaround for
ethereum/solidity#651, source code is written to a temporary file before
compilation.

Integration of solc in package ethapi and cmd/abigen is now much simpler
because the compiler wrapper is no longer passed around as a pointer.

Fixes #2806, accidentally
