ipfs-cluster-service now has a migration subcommand that upgrades
persistant state snapshots with an out-of-date format version to the
newest version of raft state. If all cluster members shutdown with
consistent state, upgrade ipfs-cluster, and run the state upgrade command,
the new version of cluster will be compatible with persistent storage.
ipfs-cluster now validates its persistent state upon loading it and exits
with a clear error in the case the state format version is not up to date.
Raft snapshotting is enforced on all shutdowns and the json backup is no
longer run. This commit makes use of recent changes to libp2p-raft
allowing raft states to implement their own marshaling strategies. Now
mapstate handles the logic for its (de)serialization. In the interest of
supporting various potential upgrade formats the state serialization
begins with a varint (right now one byte) describing the version.
Some go tests are modified and a go test is added to cover new ipfs-cluster
raft snapshot reading functions. Sharness tests are added to cover the
state upgrade command.
This adds snapshot and restore methods to state and uses the snapshot
one to save a copy of the state when shutting down. Right now, this is
not used for anything else.
Some lines performing a migration, but this is only an idea of how it could
work.

CidArg used to be an internal name for an argument that carried a Cid.
Now it has surfaced to API level and makes no sense. It is a Pin. It
represents a Pin (Cid, Allocations, Replication Factor)

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.
