This commit removes badger from the deal-making processes, and
moves to a new architecture with the dagstore as the cental
component on the miner-side, and CARv2s on the client-side.
Every deal that has been handed off to the sealing subsystem becomes
a shard in the dagstore. Shards are mounted via the LotusMount, which
teaches the dagstore how to load the related piece when serving
retrievals.
When the miner starts the Lotus for the first time with this patch,
we will perform a one-time migration of all active deals into the
dagstore. This is a lightweight process, and it consists simply
of registering the shards in the dagstore.
Shards are backed by the unsealed copy of the piece. This is currently
a CARv1. However, the dagstore keeps CARv2 indices for all pieces, so
when it's time to acquire a shard to serve a retrieval, the unsealed
CARv1 is joined with its index (safeguarded by the dagstore), to form
a read-only blockstore, thus taking the place of the monolithic
badger.
Data transfers have been adjusted to interface directly with CARv2 files.
On inbound transfers (client retrievals, miner storage deals), we stream
the received data into a CARv2 ReadWrite blockstore. On outbound transfers
(client storage deals, miner retrievals), we serve the data off a CARv2
ReadOnly blockstore.
Client-side imports are managed by the refactored *imports.Manager
component (when not using IPFS integration). Just like it before, we use
the go-filestore library to avoid duplicating the data from the original
file in the resulting UnixFS DAG (concretely the leaves). However, the
target of those imports are what we call "ref-CARv2s": CARv2 files placed
under the `$LOTUS_PATH/imports` directory, containing the intermediate
nodes in full, and the leaves as positional references to the original file
on disk.
Client-side retrievals are placed into CARv2 files in the location:
`$LOTUS_PATH/retrievals`.
A new set of `Dagstore*` JSON-RPC operations and `lotus-miner dagstore`
subcommands have been introduced on the miner-side to inspect and manage
the dagstore.
Despite moving to a CARv2-backed system, the IPFS integration has been
respected, and it continues to be possible to make storage deals with data
held in an IPFS node, and to perform retrievals directly into an IPFS node.
NOTE: because the "staging" and "client" Badger blockstores are no longer
used, existing imports on the client will be rendered useless. On startup,
Lotus will enumerate all imports and print WARN statements on the log for
each import that needs to be reimported. These log lines contain these
messages:
- import lacks carv2 path; import will not work; please reimport
- import has missing/broken carv2; please reimport
At the end, we will print a "sanity check completed" message indicating
the count of imports found, and how many were deemed broken.

- ability to extract a tipset range into individual vectors.
- ability to extract a tipset range and squash into a single multi-tipset vector.
- mark statediff output deterministically, so it can be extracted by tooling.
- ability to execute callbacks between tipsets in the driver.
- implement save-balances callback.
Method numbers never change anyways. At worst, we'll deprecate old methods and
have to explicitly import them from the correct actors version to use them.
This PR introduces support for running multiple variants of a vector,
each of which targets a unique protocol version.
tvx tooling has been adapted to produce and parse the new version
of the schema.
Motivation:
* Run lotus with the race detector enabled (primary motivation).
* Allow multiple lotus nodes in a process (not a high priority).
Previously, the journal was shared between all lotus instances, but it was
initialized for every new node. This caused safety problems in tests (at a
minimum).
This patch explicitly passes the journal to all services that need it.
