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.

I don't know why the go people thought this was a good idea, because
this automatic reformatting is bound to do the wrong thing sometimes,
which is very annoying. But I don't see a way to turn it off, so best to
get this change out of the way.

The ApplyUpdates() method on the reputation.DB interface acts like the
similar Update() method, but can allow for applying the changes from
multiple audit events, instead of only one.
This will be necessary for the reputation write cache, which will batch
up changes to each node's reputation in order to flush them
periodically.

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).

The two protobuf types are identical except that one is in our common/pb
package, and the other is in internalpb. Since the type is public
already, and there is no difference in the internal one, it seems better
to use the public one for all satellite needs.
There is also another type which is essentially identical, but which is
not a protobuf type, also called "AuditHistory". It looks like we don't
ever actually need to have a separate type from the protobuf one.
This change makes us use "storj/common/pb".AuditHistory for all of our
AuditHistory needs.

This functionality will be needed in both packages, so here we move it
into the more general reputation-code package and export it for use in
satellitedb.
This also removes the related UpdateAuditHistory() signature from the
reputation DB interface, since it doesn't have anything to do with the
db. It doesn't need to be a method, either.
Finally, this changes the test for addAudit to be a plain test function
instead of using testplanet.Run(). It didn't need a whole testplanet
setup or any databases.

This will let us update our reputation cache when writing through to the
db.
Since the information is already being fetched from the db and returned
to the application, the extra cpu load here should be minimal.

We added nodes.disqualification_reason recently, but we didn't add a
corresponding column in the reputations table (despite having a
corresponding `disqualified` column there).
Without this change, the (very useful and informative) assignments to
updateFields.DisqualificationReason in reputations.go have no effect.

Set disqualification reason when reputations stats are updated on DB.Update.
Added tests for DisqualifyNode and for disqualification cases which happens during Update.

Remove redundant suspension timestamp column from nodes and reputation tables.
Suspended timestamp was moved to unknown_audit_suspended and suspended column is
no longer used so there is no point in keeping both.

inconsistency
The original design had a flaw which can potentially cause discrepancy
for nodes reputation status between reputations table and nodes table.
In the event of a failure(network issue, db failure, satellite failure, etc.)
happens between update to reputations table and update to nodes table, data
can be out of sync.
This PR tries to fix above issue by passing through node's reputation from
the beginning of an audit/repair(this data is from nodes table) to the next
update in reputation service. If the updated reputation status from the service
is different from the existing node status, the service will try to update nodes
table. In the case of a failure, the service will be able to try update nodes
table again since it can see the discrepancy of the data. This will allow
both tables to be in-sync eventually.

We don't use this column for anything. If you want to know if a node is
contained, you can check the pending_audits table.

With the effort to move audit related data into reputation store, this
PR updates gracefulexit endpoint to use reputation service to get a
node's audit score

Currently, reputation table is only populated when a node has been
audited. This is ok in production, however a lot of our tests doesn't
upload any data or trigger audits.
This PR adds an initialization step in testplanet to populate reputation
table with zero value for nodes reputation.

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.
