Add an example of changing a public repository to a private
repository, noting that any replicated data will be public, but any
new changes will not be replicated.

There are two areas where we can be more tolerant of delegate namespaces
being missing or not validating:
1. Calculating the canonical HEAD
2. Fetching from a remote
In 1. the protocol is tolerant in that if the local node does not have
the default branch for a delegate, it will still attempt to use any of
the delegates it does have to reach the threshold.
This is made safe by ensuring that if the threshold is being updated
then the node performing the update must have a threshold of delegates
locally in their storage. It also made safe by 2.
In 2. the protocol is tolerant by allowing delegates to be missing
from the serving side, as long as they can still meet a threshold of
delegates. This is further tolerant, when validating the received
data, a threshold of delegates are valid to consider the fetch
successful -- otherwise it will fail.

When deciding whether or not to fetch a repo based on a refs
announcement, we need to know whether our signed refs are stale or not,
compared to the ones in the announcement. This can be quite expensive as
it requires multiple reads from Git's ODB, which often results in
packfile loading.
To remedy this, we introduce a refs cache in our node database that is
consulted when an announcement is received.
We also remove the logic that generates `info` messages, since they are
rarely needed and introduced more complexity.
Additionally, we revert commit 3ad2b4431f,
which introduced logic to minimze wants and haves with additional logic,
since it potentially also increases the load on the ODB.
Instead of dropping the existing connection(s), we drop the same
connection on both sides, by using a simple rule that yields the same
result whether the node sees the connection as inbound or outbound.
The trick is to use something that both nodes agree on, for instance
whos public key is greater than the other, and use that information
to close the same connection on both sides.
Promote message logging to `debug` level, and change default level to
`info`.
This is because `trace` level often covers details at a different level
of detail than for eg. messages sent and received. This means we don't
have to use `trace` level just to see the gossip.
Previously, we only kept tracked of unsynced nodes we were connected to.
Now we track all unsynced nodes, since announcements are relayed.
We also cap the replicas to exit earlier in case of very low replica
count.
We distinguish between the cases:
a) There are no seeds at all.
b) There are no seeds to announce to despite the user wanting a higher
replication factor, for example.
Instead of waiting for *all* configured/preferred seeds to be synced,
we wait for at least one.
Note that the previous behavior can still be used by setting
`--replicas` appropriately.
The inventory operation of the `rad sync` command does not require an
RID. Localise resolving the RID in the match arms that require it.

Remove the borrow of `rid` to fix the clippy warning.
