Determine How to Obtain and Decode Internal Transactions

[mkrump]

These transactions are not published on the blockchain. They are instead the side effects of applying the data field to the current blockchain state. We need to determine how to recover these internal transactions for a given contract.

Acceptance Criterea

In the geth console be able to replicate the output of a blockchain explorer's internal transactions for a specific contract (e.g. https://etherscan.io/address/0xd26114cd6ee289accf82350c8d8487fedb8a0c07#internaltx)

Seems likely we can get this information using either parity's trace_transaction https://github.com/paritytech/parity/wiki/JSONRPC-trace-module#trace_transaction or geth's debug.traceTransaction https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Management-APIs#debug_tracetransaction.
