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 takes advantange of the latest features in go-cid, peer.ID and
go-multiaddr and makes the Go types serializable by default.
This means we no longer need to copy between Pin <-> PinSerial, or ID <->
IDSerial etc. We can now efficiently binary-encode these types using short
field keys and without parsing/stringifying (in many cases it just a cast).
We still get the same json output as before (with minor modifications for
Cids).
This should greatly improve Cluster performance and memory usage when dealing
with large collections of items.

This commit adds support for OpenCensus tracing
and metrics collection. This required support for
context.Context propogation throughout the cluster
codebase, and in particular, the ipfscluster component
interfaces.
The tracing propogates across RPC and HTTP boundaries.
The current default tracing backend is Jaeger.
The metrics currently exports the metrics exposed by
the opencensus http plugin as well as the pprof metrics
to a prometheus endpoint for scraping.
The current default metrics backend is Prometheus.
Metrics are currently exposed by default due to low
overhead, can be turned off if desired, whereas tracing
is off by default as it has a much higher performance
overhead, though the extent of the performance hit can be
adjusted with smaller sampling rates.

This straigthens some mistakes with the outputs of the /add endpoints.
Currently, we had exactly the same output format which:
* was not exactly the ipfs API output format but was sort of similar
* made some weird concessions to be compatible (like having a string-type "size")
* was not aligned with Cluster API conventions (lowercase keys)
This corrects all this:
* The Cluster API /add output format now uses the right types and lowercase keys.
* `Hash` is now `Cid`, because the field carries a Cid.
* We copy error handling with request trailers from IPFS, and avoid carrying the
errors in the output objects.
* The proxy now returns exactly the types as ipfs would
* We add the X-Chunked-Output: 1 header, which is custom and redundant, but
otherwise breaks js-ipfs-api integrations with the /add endpoint.

This removes a bunch of the channel dance and block forwarding
by having the adder submodules be DAGServices themselves and take
Add() directly from the ipfsAdder.
