This is in response to community feedback that our existing reputation
calculation is too likely to disqualify storage nodes unfairly with
extreme swings up and down.
For details and analysis, please see the data_loss_vs_dq_chance_sim.py
tool, the "tuning reputation further.ipynb" Jupyter notebook in the
storj/datascience repository, and the discussion at
https://forum.storj.io/t/tuning-audit-scoring/14084
In brief: changing the lambda and initial-alpha parameters in this way
causes the swings in reputation to be smaller and less likely to put a
node past the disqualification threshold unfairly.
Note: this change will cause a one-time reset of all (non-disqualified)
node reputations, because the new initial alpha value of 1000 is
dramatically different, and the disqualification threshold is going to
be much higher.

This has been a cause of some confusion, even though the fields are
labeled as being copies of config values.
Having them be under a field explicitly named "Config" makes this
clearer, plus, allows the values to be passed in simply as a copy
of the Config struct from the satellite, rather than copying the fields
individually (which can be error-prone, particularly as the AuditCount
field in UpdateRequest is apparently not the same thing as the
AuditCount field in reputation.Config).

package in audit
This PR implements reputation store and replace overlay in audit service
to use such store for storing node's audit stats.
In order to keep the changeset smaller, most of the changes in this PR is for copying audit logic in overlay to
reputation package. In a following PR, the duplicating code will be
removed from overlay.

Define service and DB interface for storing node reputation data
and updating the overlay cache.
