acbd7fda60 Consensus: add new "crdt" consensus component
This adds a new "crdt" consensus component using go-ds-crdt.

This implies several refactors to fully make cluster consensus-component
independent:

* Delete mapstate and fully adopt dsstate (after people have migrated).
* Return errors from state methods rather than ignoring them.
* Add a new "datastore" modules so that we can configure datastores in the
   main configuration like other components.
* Let the consensus components fully define the "state.State". Thus, they do
not receive the state, they receive the storage where we put the state (a
go-datastore).
* Allow to customize how the monitor component obtains Peers() (the current
  peerset), including avoiding using the current peerset. At the moment the
  crdt consensus uses the monitoring component to define the current peerset.
  Therefore the monitor component cannot rely on the consensus component to
  produce a peerset.
* Re-factor/re-implementation of "ipfs-cluster-service state"
  operations. Includes the dissapearance of the "migrate" one.

The CRDT consensus component defines creates a crdt-datastore (with ipfs-lite)
and uses it to intitialize a dssate. Thus the crdt-store is elegantly
wrapped. Any modifications to the state get automatically replicated to other
peers. We store all the CRDT DAG blocks in the local datastore.

The consensus components only expose a ReadOnly state, as any modifications to
the shared state should happen through them.

DHT and PubSub facilities must now be created outside of Cluster and passed in
so they can be re-used by different components.

6447ea51d2 Remove *Serial types. Use pointers for all types.
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.

6d77954327 Fix multiple problems with state migration
Additionally, remove persisting the state version to the go-datastore. In the
future versions of the state, there is not a global format anymore (with a
global version). Instead, every pin element can potentially be stored in a
different version.

d57b81490f State: Use go-datastore to implement the state interface
Since the beginning, we have used a Go map to store the shared state (pinset)
in memory. The mapstate knew how to serialize itself so that libp2p-raft would
know how to write to disk when it:

* Saved snapshots of the state on shutdown
* Sent the state to a newcomer peer

hashicorp.Raft assumes an in-memory state which is snapshotted from time to
time and read from disk on boot.

This commit adds a `dsstate` implementation of the state interface using
`go-datastore`. This allows to effortlessly switch to a disk-backed state in
the future (as we will need), and also have at our disposal the different
implementations and utilities of Datastore for fine-tuning (caching, batching
etc.).

`mapstate` has been reworked to use dsstate. Ideally, we would not even need
`mapstate`, as it would suffice to initialize `dsstate` with a
`MapDatastore`. BUT, we still need it separate to be able to auto-migrate to
the new format.

This will be the last migration with the current system. Once this has been
released and users have been able to upgrade we will just remove `mapstate` as
it is now.
