Allow the caller of `rad sync` to `--sort-by` the NID, alias, or
status of the seeds.
This prevents random ordering, due to timestamps, in CLI testing.

Currently, if refs are updated while the node is stopped, these refs are
not immediately announced when the node starts, due to the node being
unaware of the updates.
To remedy this, on startup, we compare the refs we have in storage with
the refs we announced to the network. Since only our own refs could have
changed while the node was stopped, this change only applies to owned
refs. If we detect that storage has changed while the node was stopped,
we create ref announcements for the updated repos and store them in our
gossip database. These announcements will be included with other
historical gossip announcements when nodes connect to us.
To keep track of what was announced, we store our local node's sync
status in the database. This is also useful when using the `rad sync status`
command, as it tells us what oid our local node is at, and whether it
is aware of our local changes yet.
In addition to this, we make a small fix: previously, inventory and ref
announcements originating from our local node were not stored in the
announcement database. We ensure that they are via the new `announce`
method.
This command shows the sync status of a repository by consulting the
database via the node.
To make it work, we call into the address store to update the
`repo-sync-status` table when receiving ref announcements that are
relevant to us.
Introduces a new COB type to store repository identity documents.
The reason for this change is to:
1. Simplify the code, as the identity document logic resembled a COB,
yet it had custom logic. This allows existing COB code to be used for
identities.
2. Make identity document update logic more flexible, since COB actions
can be added in the future.
3. Re-purpose existing tools around COBs to work on identities, eg. `rad
cob`.
4. Unify the concept of an identity change proposal, with regular identity
changes. This means we can remove the `id.proposal` COB in favor of
using the `id` COB itself.
Notes
-----
* Each repository has one Identity COB.
* The `Proposal` COB has been repurposed into the `Identity` COB.
* Identity documents are stored as *embeds* inside the Identity COB
actions.
* The action that contains new document versions is called `revision`,
just like the Patches COB.
* The namespaced `rad/id` ref is a symbolic reference to that Identity
COB.
* The canonical `rad/id` ref is a direct reference to the commit in the
Identity COB that contains the latest *accepted* revision of the
document.
* All commands for managing identities have been folded into `rad id`.
Hence `rad delegate` and `rad edit` are removed.
* The concept of "rebasing" an identity document is gone.
* The `rad id` output has been updated to match the style of other
commands.
* When a revision has enough signatures, it is automatically adopted as
the current identity, there is no longer the need for a "commit"
action.
* When an identity revision is proposed, and the current identity has a
threshold of `1`, that identity is automatically accepted due to the
above point.
* The idea of "verifying a peer's identity branch" no longer applies, as
COBs cannot be verified one history at a time.
* Since the root commit of the Identity COB does not have a "Resource"
to point to (it would have to point to itself, which is impossible),
we've made the resource id optional for COBs.
When a fetch is user-requested, a timeout can be supplied that is passed
down to the worker.
When a fetch is service-requested, a default timeout is used.
This adds functionality so that on `rad sync` and `rad clone`, we
connect to known seeds if necessary, before attempting to fetch.
In passing, some related changes were made:
* The `rad sync` command's arguments were reworked:
`--replicas <count>` can be used to specify a replica count when
fetching
* The `rad patch` command no longer has a `--fetch` option
* It's now possible to tell the node not to automatically connect to
peers in the background
* `AddressBook` is being used underneath `Seeds` to allow for shuffled
iteration
This commit addresses the inconsistent parsing of the command by fixing the
partial matching behavior for the `--seed` flag. Previously, specifying
the seed value resulted in an invalid option error, as shown in the example below:
```
➜ ~ rad sync --seed z6MksmpU5b1dS7oaqF2bHXhQi1DWy2hB7Mh9CuN7y1DN6QSz
✗ Error: rad sync: invalid option '--seed'
```
With this fix, there are no restrictions on when the seed can be specified.
In a future change, we plan to implement a custom error message when a
match case does not meet specific requirements, such as `rad --fetch --announce`,
which will return a more informative error message. However, this
enhancement is left for a derived solution.
```
➜ ~ rad sync --fetch --announce
✗ Error: rad sync: invalid option '--announce'
```

This adds the ability to the git-remote-helper to open and update
patches via a `git push` to the magic ref `refs/patches` and
`refs/heads/patches/<patch-id>`.
The main change is that we had to move away from offering the `connect`
capability in the remote helper, to offering `push` and `fetch`
individually.
To get a feel for how this works, see the `rad-patch-via-push.md`
example.
This command announces refs to peers and waits for them to be
in sync.
Adds a subscribe method to `Handle` so that we can get the events
from the seed to allow us to confirm that the configured seeds fetched
from us.
