The goal is to get rid off the neoctl command-line tool, and to manage the
cluster via a web browser, or tools like 'wget'. Then, it will be possible to
provide an web user interface to connect to the underlying DB of any storage
node, usually a SQL client.

The design of admin app is finished:
- it's threaded like clients
- it's a WSGI app

I also hacked a HTTP API as quickly as possible to make all tests pass.

TODO:
- SSL
- define a better HTTP API
- there's no UI at all yet
- remove all unused packets from the protocol (those that were only used
  between neoctl and admin node)

There are a few dead files, not deleted yet, in case that they contain a few
pieces of useful code:
 neo/neoctl/app.py
 neo/neoctl/handler.py
 neo/scripts/neoctl.py

... rather than logging when the backend does not override.

Contrary to FileStorage, NEO remembers uses of readCurrent().

This fixes the following assertion:

With the switch to msgpack, there was no schema anymore whereas it was
sometimes used for both automatic conversion (e.g. the last argument of
AskStoreTransaction must now be explicitly cast to list) and type checking.

This somewhat reintroduces a kind of schema that:
- is used by the test suite for type checking
- can be generated automatically from the test suite
  when one change the procotol

Not only for performance reasons (at least 3% faster) but also because of
several ugly things in the way packets were defined:
- packet field names, which are only documentary; for roots fields,
  they even just duplicate the packet names
- a lot of repetitions for packet names, and even confusion between the name
  of the packet definition and the name of the actual notify/request packet
- the need to implement field types for anything, like PByte to support new
  compression formats, since PBoolean is not enough

neo/lib/protocol.py is now much smaller.

The following 2 operations can be onerous and they should not be
directly usable without some kind of confirmation by the user:
- Dropping a node now requires to first stop it.
- Tweaking does not exclude anymore automatically DOWN nodes,
  because a node could go DOWN between the moment the user sends
  the command to tweak and the actual tweak by the master.

Initially, I wanted to do the simulation inside neoctl but it has no knowledge
of the topology (the master don't send devpath values of storage nodes).
Therefore, the work is delegated to the master node, which implies a change
of the protocol.

This stops abusing ProtocolError, which disconnects the admin node needlessly.

The many 'if ... raise RuntimeError' in neo/neoctl/neoctl.py
could be turned into assertions.

neoctl gets a new command to change the number of replicas.

The number of replicas becomes a new partition table attribute and
like the PT id, it is stored in the config table. On the other side,
the configuration value for the number of partitions is dropped,
since it can be computed from the partition table, which is
always stored in full.

The -p/-r master options now only apply at database creation.

Some implementation notes:

- The protocol is slightly optimized in that the master now sends
  automatically the whole partition tables to the admin & client
  nodes upon connection, like for storage nodes.
  This makes the protocol more consistent, and the master is the
  only remaining node requesting partition tables, during recovery.

- Some parts become tricky because app.pt can be None in more cases.
  For example, the extra condition in NodeManager.update
  (before app.pt.dropNode) was added for this is the reason.
  Or the 'loadPartitionTable' method (storage) that is not inlined
  because of unit tests.
  Overall, this commit simplifies more than it complicates.

- In the master handlers, we stop hijacking the 'connectionCompleted'
  method for tasks to be performed (often send the full partition
  table) on handler switches.

- The admin's 'bootstrapped' flag could have been removed earlier:
  race conditions can't happen since the AskNodeInformation packet
  was removed (commit d048a52d).

It is often faster to set up replicas by stopping a node (and any
underlying database server like MariaDB) and do a raw copy of the
database (e.g. with rsync). So far, it required to stop the whole
cluster and use tools like 'mysql' or sqlite3' to edit:
- the 'pt' table in databases,
- the 'config.nid' values of the new nodes.

With this new option, if you already have 1 replica, you can set up
new replicas with such fast raw copy, and without interruption of
service. Obviously, this implies less redundancy during the operation.

--kill-mysqld should be combined with something like -f .3 -r .1
to give storage nodes enough time to recover.
And also -D 0 to focus testing on the storage backend rather than NEO.

This also reverts commit 442bb43a.

This fixes up commit be839e92.

This is not used currently.

This breaks compatibily but it was mentionned from the beginning
that these options are only there for testing purpose.

TODO: rename all remaining occurrences of UUID into NID in the code

If the source DB is lost during the import and then restored from a backup,
all new transactions have to written back again on resume. It is the most
common case for which the writeback hits the maximum number of transactions
per partition to process at each iteration; the previous code was buggy in
that it could skip transactions.
