It turns out they only worked in round seconds. Tests send a metric
every second, so sometimes they were expired right away.

This adds a replication_factor query argument to the API
endpoint which allows to set a replication factor per Pin.

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.

At the beginning we opted for native types which were
serializable (PinInfo had a CidStr field instead of Cid).
Now we provide types in two versions: native and serializable.
Go methods use native. The rest of APIs (REST/RPC) use always
serializable versions. Methods are provided to convert between the
two.
The reason for moving these out of the way is to be able to re-use
type definitions when parsing API responses in `ipfs-cluster-ctl` or
any other clients that come up. API responses are just the serializable
version of types in JSON encoding. This also reduces having
duplicate types defs and parsing methods everywhere.
