Manifests are now fetched by a field called "reference", which may be a tag or
a digest. When using digests to reference a manifest, the data is immutable.
The routes and specification have been updated to allow this.
There are a few caveats to this approach:
1. It may be problematic to rely on data format to differentiate between a tag
and a digest. Currently, they are disjoint but there may modifications on
either side that break this guarantee.
2. The caching characteristics of returned content are very different for
digest versus tag-based references. Digest urls can be cached forever while tag
urls cannot.
Both of these are minimal caveats that we can live with in the future.

This changeset adds support for a header to identify docker upload uuids. This
id can be used as a key to manage local state for resumable uploads. The goal
is remove the necessity for a client to parse the url to get an upload uuid.
The restrictions for clients to use the location header are still strongly in
place.

The method (Registry).Repository may now return an error. This is too allow
certain implementationt to validate the name or opt to not return a repository
under certain conditions.
In conjunction with this change, error declarations have been moved into a
single file in the distribution package. Several error declarations that had
remained in the storage package have been moved into distribution, as well. The
declarations for Layer and LayerUpload have also been moved into the main
registry file, as a result.
