When we do `satellite run api --placement '...'`, the placement rules are not parsed well.
The problem is based on `viper.AllSettings()`, and the main logic is sg. like this (from a new unit test):
```
r := ConfigurablePlacementRule{}
err := r.Set(p)
require.NoError(t, err)
serialized := r.String()
r2 := ConfigurablePlacementRule{}
err = r2.Set(serialized)
require.NoError(t, err)
require.Equal(t, p, r2.String())
```
All settings evaluates the placement rules in `ConfigurablePlacementRules` and stores the string representation.
The problem is that we don't have proper `String()` implementation (it prints out the structs instead of the original definition.
There are two main solutions for this problem:
1. We can fix the `String()`. When we parse a placement rule, the `String()` method should print out the original definition
2. We can switch to use pure string as configuration parameter, and parse the rules only when required.
I feel that 1 is error prone, we can do it (and in this patch I added a lot of `String()` implementations, but it's hard to be sure that our `String()` logic is inline with the parsing logic.
Therefore I decided to make the configuration value of the placements a string (or a wrapper around string).
That's the main reason why this patch seems to be big, as I updated all the usages.
But the main part is in beginning of the `placement.go` (configuration parsing is not a pflag.Value implementation any more, but a separated step).
And `filter.go`, (a few more String implementation for filters.

placement.AllowedCountry is the old way to specify placement, with the new approach we can use a more generic (dynamic method), which can check full node information instead of just the country code.
The 90% of this patch is just search and replace:
* we need to use NodeFilters instead of placement.AllowedCountry
* which means, we need an initialized PlacementRules available everywhere
* which means we need to configure the placement rules
The remaining 10% is the placement.go, where we introduced a new type of configuration (lightweight expression language) to define any kind of placement without code change.

When pieces fail an audit (hard fail, meaning the node acknowledged it
did not have the piece or the piece was corrupted), we will now remove
those pieces from the segment.
Previously, we did not do this, and some node operators were seeing the
same missing piece audited over and over again and losing reputation
every time.
This change will include both verification and reverification audits. It
will also apply to pieces found to be bad during repair, if
repair-to-reputation reporting is enabled.

Only API peer needs access to order DB (and rollups cache) because it's
only place where we are creating orders for PUT and GET operations. For
other peers like auditor and repairer we can set noop implementation to
reduce number of dependencies needed for them.

It was surprising that `satellite auditor` complained about SMTP mail settings, even if it's not supposed to sending any mail.
Looks like we can remove the mail service dependency, as it's not a hard requirement for overlay.Service.

This change creates a new independent process, the 'auditor', comparable
to the repairer, gc, and api processes. This will allow auditors to be
scaled independently of the core.
