These new host functions should only be added to eosio-tester and rodeos not nodeos.
I'm not sure its possible with only an eosio-tester modification. Tester intrinsics only appear to work with test contracts. The test contract uses a special framework which in turn calls the normal contracts. It also has to define main(), which normal contracts don't. So I don't believe our normal contracts can be compiled as test contracts so they can use pure tester intrisics.
I have verified that the recent commit 7e6b809 works through the whole cycle,. and generates a reasonable code coverage report. We don't actually have to merge this in, we could keep it as a separate branch just for the purpose of using code coverage.
