[release/1.4.7] cmd/evm: added --create flag indicating the exec code is to be created

obscuren · karalabe · commit be29e41334fd · 2016-06-15T11:43:46.000+03:00
This fixes an issue if you wanted to test out code deployment rather than running a piece of code with an argument. This solves it by adding a --create flag that indicates the Create function should be used rather than the Call function. This also adds a statedb.commit call so that the proper state can be dumped when requested using the --dump flag. (cherry picked from commit e5165ae)
