This PR adds functionality for miners to create tranches or groupings of locked Quai or Qi and allow a contract to manage it for them - for example, to mint them an NFT that represents that value so that it can be traded. This PR also adds functionality for users to wrap their Qi for use in the EVM. Users can send Qi UTXOs to a user-specified smart contract on Quai that mints them wrapped Qi tokens that can be used with smart contracts. It is the responsibility of the smart contract to maintain its own solvency via the NFTs or ERC20 tokens they give out. The balance of every smart contract is stored to disk via our lockup precompile, so a smart contract cannot attempt to mint more Qi or Quai than they have available.
