Unfortunately, the refactor used the incorrect path for manifest links within a
repository. While this didn't stop the registry from working, it did break
compatibility with 2.0 deployments for manifest fetches.
Tests were added to ensure these are locked down to the appropriate paths.

with a new `proxy` section in the configuration file.
Create a new registry type which delegates storage to a proxyBlobStore
and proxyManifestStore. These stores will pull through data if not present
locally. proxyBlobStore takes care not to write duplicate data to disk.
Add a scheduler to cleanup expired content. The scheduler runs as a background
goroutine. When a blob or manifest is pulled through from the remote registry,
an entry is added to the scheduler with a TTL. When the TTL expires the
scheduler calls a pre-specified function to remove the fetched resource.
Add token authentication to the registry middleware. Get a token at startup
and preload the credential store with the username and password supplied in the
config file.
Allow resumable digest functionality to be disabled at runtime and disable
it when the registry is a pull through cache.

Storage drivers can implement a method called URLFor which can return a direct
url for a given path. The functionality allows the registry to direct clients
to download content directly from the backend storage. This is commonly used
with s3 and cloudfront. Under certain conditions, such as when the registry is
not local to the backend, these redirects can hurt performance and waste
incoming bandwidth on pulls. This feature addition allows one to disable this
feature, if required.

Implement the delete API by implementing soft delete for layers
and blobs by removing link files and updating the blob descriptor
cache. Deletion is configurable - if it is disabled API calls
will return an unsupported error.
We invalidate the blob descriptor cache by changing the linkedBlobStore's
blobStatter to a blobDescriptorService and naming it blobAccessController.
Delete() is added throughout the relevant API to support this functionality.

Ensure that clients can use the blob descriptor cache provider without needing
the redis package.

This PR refactors the blob service API to be oriented around blob descriptors.
Identified by digests, blobs become an abstract entity that can be read and
written using a descriptor as a handle. This allows blobs to take many forms,
such as a ReadSeekCloser or a simple byte buffer, allowing blob oriented
operations to better integrate with blob agnostic APIs (such as the `io`
package). The error definitions are now better organized to reflect conditions
that can only be seen when interacting with the blob API.
The main benefit of this is to separate the much smaller metadata from large
file storage. Many benefits also follow from this. Reading and writing has
been separated into discrete services. Backend implementation is also
simplified, by reducing the amount of metadata that needs to be picked up to
simply serve a read. This also improves cacheability.
"Opening" a blob simply consists of an access check (Stat) and a path
calculation. Caching is greatly simplified and we've made the mapping of
provisional to canonical hashes a first-class concept. BlobDescriptorService
and BlobProvider can be combined in different ways to achieve varying effects.
Recommend Review Approach
-------------------------
This is a very large patch. While apologies are in order, we are getting a
considerable amount of refactoring. Most changes follow from the changes to
the root package (distribution), so start there. From there, the main changes
are in storage. Looking at (*repository).Blobs will help to understand the how
the linkedBlobStore is wired. One can explore the internals within and also
branch out into understanding the changes to the caching layer. Following the
descriptions below will also help to guide you.
To reduce the chances for regressions, it was critical that major changes to
unit tests were avoided. Where possible, they are left untouched and where
not, the spirit is hopefully captured. Pay particular attention to where
behavior may have changed.
Storage
-------
The primary changes to the `storage` package, other than the interface
updates, were to merge the layerstore and blobstore. Blob access is now
layered even further. The first layer, blobStore, exposes a global
`BlobStatter` and `BlobProvider`. Operations here provide a fast path for most
read operations that don't take access control into account. The
`linkedBlobStore` layers on top of the `blobStore`, providing repository-
scoped blob link management in the backend. The `linkedBlobStore` implements
the full `BlobStore` suite, providing access-controlled, repository-local blob
writers. The abstraction between the two is slightly broken in that
`linkedBlobStore` is the only channel under which one can write into the global
blob store. The `linkedBlobStore` also provides flexibility in that it can act
over different link sets depending on configuration. This allows us to use the
same code for signature links, manifest links and blob links. Eventually, we
will fully consolidate this storage.
The improved cache flow comes from the `linkedBlobStatter` component
of `linkedBlobStore`. Using a `cachedBlobStatter`, these combine together to
provide a simple cache hierarchy that should streamline access checks on read
and write operations, or at least provide a single path to optimize. The
metrics have been changed in a slightly incompatible way since the former
operations, Fetch and Exists, are no longer relevant.
The fileWriter and fileReader have been slightly modified to support the rest
of the changes. The most interesting is the removal of the `Stat` call from
`newFileReader`. This was the source of unnecessary round trips that were only
present to look up the size of the resulting reader. Now, one must simply pass
in the size, requiring the caller to decide whether or not the `Stat` call is
appropriate. In several cases, it turned out the caller already had the size
already. The `WriterAt` implementation has been removed from `fileWriter`,
since it is no longer required for `BlobWriter`, reducing the number of paths
which writes may take.
Cache
-----
Unfortunately, the `cache` package required a near full rewrite. It was pretty
mechanical in that the cache is oriented around the `BlobDescriptorService`
slightly modified to include the ability to set the values for individual
digests. While the implementation is oriented towards caching, it can act as a
primary store. Provisions are in place to have repository local metadata, in
addition to global metadata. Fallback is implemented as a part of the storage
package to maintain this flexibility.
One unfortunate side-effect is that caching is now repository-scoped, rather
than global. This should have little effect on performance but may increase
memory usage.
Handlers
--------
The `handlers` package has been updated to leverage the new API. For the most
part, the changes are superficial or mechanical based on the API changes. This
did expose a bug in the handling of provisional vs canonical digests that was
fixed in the unit tests.
Configuration
-------------
One user-facing change has been made to the configuration and is updated in
the associated documentation. The `layerinfo` cache parameter has been
deprecated by the `blobdescriptor` cache parameter. Both are equivalent and
configuration files should be backward compatible.
Notifications
-------------
Changes the `notification` package are simply to support the interface
changes.
Context
-------
A small change has been made to the tracing log-level. Traces have been moved
from "info" to "debug" level to reduce output when not needed.

This changeset integrates the layer info cache with the registry webapp and
storage backend. The main benefit is to cache immutable layer meta data,
reducing backend roundtrips. The cache can be configured to use either redis or
an inmemory cache.
This provides massive performance benefits for HEAD http checks on layer blobs
and manifest verification.

This changeset implements immutable manifest references via the HTTP API. Most
of the changes follow from modifications to ManifestService. Once updates were
made across the repo to implement these changes, the http handlers were change
accordingly. The new methods on ManifestService will be broken out into a
tagging service in a later PR.
Unfortunately, due to complexities around managing the manifest tag index in an
eventually consistent manner, direct deletes of manifests have been disabled.

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.

This change is slightly more complex than previous package maves in that the
package name changed. To address this, we simply always reference the package
driver as storagedriver to avoid compatbility issues with existing code. While
unfortunate, this can be cleaned up over time.
