Specifying "*" as part of "trusted_peers" in the configuration will
result in trusting all peers.
This is useful for private clusters where we don't want to list every
peer ID in the config.
This should fix a problem pointed out in #787 about a peer not
being able to recover in CRDT mode after a router re-start (when we lose
all connections to all peers). We attempt to re-open connections to
boostrap peers regularly.
The switch to base32 as default output format for cidv1 keys in IPFS pin/ls
responses causes an error in PinLsCid as the base32 string does not correspond
to the base58 string expected by cluster when using an old peer.
This affects old Cluster peers running with new IPFS versions and new cluster
peers running with old IPFS versions for v1 CIDs.
Since Current master uses an updated cid dependency which also uses base32 by
default, master would already work with the latest IPFS daemon, so this is
just allowing to use cluster peers with older ipfs daemons, and preventing a
similar breakage in the future.
Those regex were compiled with each call to the function. As it's
called by PinLs, this resulted in a significant amount of memory used,
500MB in my case after a single call.

Currently, unless doing Join() (--bootstrap), we do not connect to any peers on startup.
We however loaded up the peerstore file and Raft will automatically connect
older peers to figure out who is the leader etc. DHT bootstrap, after Raft
was working, did the rest.
For CRDTs we need to connect to people on a normal boot as otherwise, unless
bootstrapping, this does not happen, even if the peerstore contains known peers.
This introduces a number of changes:
* Move peerstore file management back inside the Cluster component, which was
already in charge of saving the peerstore file.
* We keep saving all "known addresses" but we load them with a non permanent
TTL, so that there will be clean up of peers we're not connected to for long.
* "Bootstrap" (connect) to a small number of peers during Cluster component creation.
* Bootstrap the DHT asap after this, so that other cluster components can
initialize with a working peer discovery mechanism.
* CRDT Trust() method will now:
* Protect the trusted Peer ID in the conn manager
* Give top priority in the PeerManager to that Peer (see below)
* Mark addresses as permanent in the Peerstore
The PeerManager now attaches priorities to peers when importing them and is
able to order them according to that priority. The result is that peers with
high priority are saved first in the peerstore file. When we load the peerstore
file, the first entries in it are given the highest priority.
This means that during startup we will connect to "trusted peers" first
(because they have been tagged with priority in the previous run and saved at
the top of the list). Once connected to a small number of peers, we let the
DHT bootstrap process in the background do the rest and discover the network.
All this makes the peerstore file a "bootstrap" list for CRDTs and we will attempt
to connect to peers on that list until some of those connections succeed.
As follow up to #787, this uses the default libp2p connection manager for the
cluster libp2p host. The connection manager settings can be set in the main
configuration section (but it should be compatible with previous
configurations which have it unset).
This PR is just introducing the connection manager. Peer connection
protection etc will come in additional PRs.
For simplicity, I haven't exposed the entire
badger config. Also, due to go default values and
the badger implementation, I have had to extract the
two loading mode config values so we can determine
whether it has actually has been set by the user in
the json config file.
