This enables support for testing in jenkins.
Several minor adjustments have been performed to improve the probability
that the tests pass, but there are still some random
problems appearing with libp2p conections not becoming available or
stopping working (similar to travis, but perhaps more often).
MacOS and Windows builds are broken in worse ways (those issues will
need to be addressed in the future).
Thanks to @zenground0 and @victorbjelkholm for support!

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.

The former RPC stuff had become a monster, really hard to have an overview
of the RPC api capabilities and with lots of magic.
go-libp2p-rpc allows to have a clearly defined RPC api which
shows which methods every component can use. A component to perform
remote requests, and the convoluted LeaderRPC, BroadcastRPC methods are
no longer necessary.
Things are much simpler now, less goroutines are needed, the central channel
handling bottleneck is gone, RPC requests are very streamlined in form.
In the future, it would be inmediate to have components living on different
libp2p hosts and it is way clearer how to plug into the advanced cluster rpc
api.
