As part of the Metainfo Refactoring, we need to make the Metainfo Loop
working with both the current PointerDB and the new Metabase. Thus, the
Metainfo Loop should pass to the Observer interface more specific Object
and Segment types instead of pb.Pointer.
After this change, there are still a couple of use cases that require
access to the pb.Pointer (hence we have it as a field in the
metainfo.Segment type):
1. Expired Deletion Service
2. Repair Service
It would require additional refactoring in these two services before we
are able to clean this.

This adds support for observers to join the loop together. This allows
to ensure that when multiple observers join, they will be part of the
same loop iteration.
