Re-enable pending block access without --mine parameter

[billyadelphia]

Based on my question #778 and this issue #358
Even with --mine parameter, I still can't access pending block somehow.

Rationale

Why should this feature exist?
Because it's enabled by default on any other EVM blockchain, a lot of us needed this.

Implementation

Do you have ideas regarding the implementation of this feature?
I have tried, but gave up. It doesn't have to enabled by default, like adding new param like --enable-pending-block or else

Are you willing to implement this feature?
No

There was a performance issue related to the --mine flag, so we disabled it. There is no plan to add it back recently.

@yutianwu if you want to enable it, which line of code would you change ?

I have tried to change the PendingBlock function on miner.go file based on the original geth (for ethereum), compile it myself, but it just throw some weird error.

We disabled this feature in #358, you can refer to this.

How to config to re-enable pending function?

This is the reason I started learning go and my go knowledge is limited, any help regarding to re-enable this feature is appreciated. Currently I'm checking go-ethereum and the #358 together but no luck so far
