Improve the logic when choosing addresses to connect to. Previously we
would wait much too long, even for good addresses. This was especially a
problem when the reason for disconnection was simply a node restart.
The tracking database can be opened in read-only or read-write
mode. Knowing which is being used is significant in concurrent
scenarios, e.g. it's safer to have a read-only handle on multiple
threads.
Provide static type information by signifying what kind of database
handle is being worked with, read or read-write.

This is a fairly substantial change, which adds a new configuration file
to the user's `$RAD_HOME` that includes node configuration, including
the alias, and also makes node aliases required.
When running `rad auth`, the user is now prompted for an alias, which
defaults to `$USER`.
When running `rad self`, the alias is now shown.
If the user runs radicle without a config file, the defaults are loaded,
and `$USER` is used as the alias.
Previously, we only sent the announcement when there were external
addresses. But it contains other information like the node alias,
therefore we always send it.
Since the proof-of-work can be expensive to compute everytime, we add
the ability to load the local node announcement from the file system.
We also change the proof-of-work parameters so that they are relaxed
when running in debug mode, instead of when running tests.
Finally, we remove the boolean validation of the PoW. Instead, we store
the work per-node, in the database, to be used in the future in case of
DoS attacks or network congestion.
Previously, only one connection to the node control socket could be
handled at a time. This usually worked fine, but if one connection hangs
for whatever reason, no other process can access the node.
When attempting to connect to a peer, and when succeeding, write the timestamp
to the database.
This will allow us to better select addresses and not retry peers to
soon.
We were allowing remotes to be constructed via a function that didn't
check its inputs.
This is now fixed by moving the public key into the `SignedRefs` struct.
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.
By having the keep-alive delta be the same as the ping timeout,
we essentially disconnected peers right after we sent them our
first ping.
This fixes that issue by setting the ping timeout to double the
keep-alive delta.
Instead of returning the namespaces that we fetched with,
we return the remotes that were actually fetched from.
This can differ if some trusted peers were not available
on the remote node.
Previously, if that was the case, it would cause errors
since the remotes were looked up and that lookup failed.
Previously we were announcing inventories all the time, due to
relying on the timestamp changing on insertion.
We change this to only announce our inventory when it actually changes.
To improve the reliability and flexibility of the protocol, we introduce
multiplexing over peer connections. This involves a new `Frame` type
that carries a stream-id and payload.
Three stream types are made available:
1. Control
2. Gossip
3. Git
This change brings the following improvements:
* Removed need to queue fetch requests
* Removed need to queue gossip messages
* Removed need for `Fetch` and `FetchOk` messages
* Service doesn't need to know about inbound fetches
* Removed one round-trip for fetch negotiation
* Removed special `done` git packet
* Removed session logic and state around Git/Fetch protocols
* Removed code around upgrading/downgrading transport
* Worker in responder mode is able to process any number of fetches
* Connections support any number of concurrent fetches
We had to introduce a few extra things however to make it all work:
* A `VarInt` type for variable-length integers, since we want the frames
to be lightweight.
* A custom "tunnel" implementation, since we couldn't use the existing
one anymore.
Overall the change removes more complexity than it adds, while improving
the protocol along the way.
This fixes an issue that came up in tests where we would be reading
and writing to the database at the same time, and it would fail with
an error due to the lock being contended on.
The One variant caused many paint points for fetching logic, where it
was not necessary. It was only constructed in one place, which could
be replaced by using the variant that holds a set of keys.
Remove the Namespaces::One variant and rename Namespaces::Many to
Namespaces::Trusted.

When a repository does not yet exist during a fetch, i.e. a clone,
then only delegates are being fetched.
Augment Namespaces::Many to hold the trusted and optional delegate peers
separately. Doing so allows the construction of the variant without
the repository existing, but tracking relationships existing.
This variant can then be used to build refspecs for both the trusted
peers and delegates when doing a cloning fetch.

The tracked nodes include nodes marked tracked in the db, and
the delegates and `Namespaces::All` if it is a new repo.

First, we make sure to always attempt reconnection to persistent peers,
no matter the reason.
Second, we don't re-attempt connections when an inbound peer
disconnects. This minimizes the chance of connections crossing.
Third, we clean up `session::Error`, and don't use it to signal a
missing session, since it doesn't really belong there.
1. We were announcing inventory every 30 seconds. This is now changed
to 1 hour.
2. We were using a variable to track whether our inventory has been
announced to the network, but this var was set based on what we
tracked, not the inventory we had. This var has been removed.
This change ensures that on `Subscribe`, we only relay the latest
announcement of each node, per announcement category.
Previously, we would relay all announcement, while only the last one
was relevant.
