I had thought of this for a very long time but there were no compelling
reasons to do it. Specifying RPC endpoint permissions becomes however
significantly nicer if each Component is a different RPC Service. This also
fixes some naming issues like having to prefix methods with the component name
to separate them from methods named in the same way in some other component
(Pin and IPFSPin).
This adds a new "crdt" consensus component using go-ds-crdt.
This implies several refactors to fully make cluster consensus-component
independent:
* Delete mapstate and fully adopt dsstate (after people have migrated).
* Return errors from state methods rather than ignoring them.
* Add a new "datastore" modules so that we can configure datastores in the
main configuration like other components.
* Let the consensus components fully define the "state.State". Thus, they do
not receive the state, they receive the storage where we put the state (a
go-datastore).
* Allow to customize how the monitor component obtains Peers() (the current
peerset), including avoiding using the current peerset. At the moment the
crdt consensus uses the monitoring component to define the current peerset.
Therefore the monitor component cannot rely on the consensus component to
produce a peerset.
* Re-factor/re-implementation of "ipfs-cluster-service state"
operations. Includes the dissapearance of the "migrate" one.
The CRDT consensus component defines creates a crdt-datastore (with ipfs-lite)
and uses it to intitialize a dssate. Thus the crdt-store is elegantly
wrapped. Any modifications to the state get automatically replicated to other
peers. We store all the CRDT DAG blocks in the local datastore.
The consensus components only expose a ReadOnly state, as any modifications to
the shared state should happen through them.
DHT and PubSub facilities must now be created outside of Cluster and passed in
so they can be re-used by different components.

New PeerManager, Allocator, Informer components have been added along
with a new "replication_factor" configuration option.
First, cluster peers collect and push metrics (Informer) to the Cluster
leader regularly. The Informer is an interface that can be implemented
in custom wayts to support custom metrics.
Second, on a pin operation, using the information from the collected metrics,
an Allocator can provide a list of preferences as to where the new pin
should be assigned. The Allocator is an interface allowing to provide
different allocation strategies.
Both Allocator and Informer are Cluster Componenets, and have access
to the RPC API.
The allocations are kept in the shared state. Cluster peer failure
detection is still missing and re-allocation is still missing, although
re-pinning something when a node is down/metrics missing does re-allocate
the pin somewhere else.
