At some point we might try to change original segment RS values and set Pieces according to the new values. This change adds add NewRedundancy parameter for UpdateSegmentPieces method to give ability to do that. As a part of change NewPieces are validated against NewRedundancy.

We have multipart objects so we may get multiple inline segments
sequences or no segments at all for objects.

It's impossible to time correctly this check. The segment may expire
just at the time we upload the repaired pieces to new storage nodes.
They will reject this as expired and the repair will fail.
Also, we penalize storage nodes with audit failure only if they fail
piece hash verification, i.e. return incorrect data, but only if they
have already deleted the piece.
So, it would be best if the repair service does not care about object
expiration at all. This is a responsibility of another service.
Removing this check will also simplify how we migrate this code
correctly to the metabase.

Do not insert the number of healthy pieces for segment health anymore.
Rather, insert the segment health calculated by our new priority
function.

Query nodes table using AS OF SYSTEM TIME '-10s' (by default) when on CRDB to alleviate contention on the nodes table and minimize CRDB retries. Queries for standard uploads are already cached, and node lookups for graceful exit uploads has retry logic so it isn't necessary for the nodes returned to be current.
The chief segment health models we've come up with are the "immediate
danger" model and the "survivability" model. The former calculates the
chance of losing a segment becoming lost in the next time period (using
the CDF of the binomial distribution to estimate the chance of x nodes
failing in that period), while the latter estimates the number of
iterations for which a segment can be expected to survive (using the
mean of the negative binomial distribution). The immediate danger model
was a promising one for comparing segment health across segments with
different RS parameters, as it is more precisely what we want to
prevent, but it turns out that practically all segments in production
have infinite health, as the chance of losing segments with any
reasonable estimate of node failure rate is smaller than DBL_EPSILON,
the smallest possible difference from 1.0 representable in a float64
(about 1e-16).
Leaving aside the wisdom of worrying about the repair of segments that
have less than a 1e-16 chance of being lost, we want to be extremely
conservative and proactive in our repair efforts, and the health of the
segments we have been repairing thus far also evaluates to infinity
under the immediate danger model. Thus, we find ourselves reaching for
an alternative.
Dr. Ben saves the day: the survivability model is a reasonably close
approximation of the immediate danger model, and even better, it is
far simpler to calculate and yields manageable values for real-world
segments. The downside to it is that it requires as input an estimate
of the total number of active nodes.
This change replaces the segment health calculation to use the
survivability model, and reinstates the call to SegmentHealth() where it
was reverted. It gets estimates for the total number of active nodes by
leveraging the reliability cache.

A few weeks ago it was discovered that the segment health function
was not working as expected with production values. As a bandaid,
we decided to insert the number of healthy pieces into the segment
health column. This should have effectively reverted our means of
prioritizing repair to the previous implementation.
However, it turns out that the bandaid was placed into the code which
removes items from the irreparable db and inserts them into the repair
queue.
This change: insert number of healthy pieces into the repair queue in the
method, RemoteSegment

There is a new checker field called statsCollector. This contains
a map of stats pointers where the key is a stringified redundancy
scheme. stats contains all tagged monkit metrics. These metrics exist
under the key name, "tagged_repair_stats", which is tagged with the
name of each metric and a corresponding rs scheme.
As the metainfo observer works on a segment, it checks statsCollector
for a stats corresponding to the segment's redundancy scheme. If one
doesn't exist, it is created and chained to the monkit scope. Now we can call
Observe, Inc, etc on the fields just like before, and they have tags!
durabilityStats has also been renamed to aggregateStats.
At the end of the metainfo loop, we insert the aggregateStats totals into the
corresponding stats fields for metric reporting.

We migrated satelliteDB off of Postgres and over to CockroachDB (crdb), but there was way too high contention for the injuredsegments table so we had to rollback to Postgres for the repair queue. A couple things contributed to this problem:
1) crdb doesn't support `FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED`
2) the original crdb Select query was doing 2 full table scans and not using any indexes
3) the SLC Satellite (where we were doing the migration) was running 48 repair worker processes, each of which run up to 5 goroutines which all are trying to select out of the repair queue and this was causing a ton of contention.
The changes in this PR should help to reduce that contention and improve performance on CRDB.
The changes include:
1) Use an update/set query instead of select/update to capitalize on the new `UPDATE` implicit row locking ability in CRDB.
- Details: As of CRDB v20.2.2, there is implicit row locking with update/set queries (contention reduction and performance gains are described in this blog post: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/when-and-why-to-use-select-for-update-in-cockroachdb/).
2) Remove the `ORDER BY` clause since this was causing a full table scan and also prevented the use of the row locking capability.
- While long term it is very important to `ORDER BY segment_health`, the change here is only suppose to be a temporary bandaid to get us migrated over to CRDB quickly. Since segment_health has been set to infinity for some time now (re: https://review.dev.storj.io/c/storj/storj/+/3224), it seems like it might be ok to continue not making use of this for the short term. However, long term this needs to be fixed with a redesign of the repair workers, possible in the trusted delegated repair design (https://review.dev.storj.io/c/storj/storj/+/2602) or something similar to what is recommended here on how to implement a queue on CRDB https://dev.to/ajwerner/quick-and-easy-exactly-once-distributed-work-queues-using-serializable-transactions-jdp, or migrate to rabbit MQ priority queue or something similar..
This PRs improved query uses the index to avoid full scans and also locks the row its going to update and CRDB retries for us if there are any lock errors.

We did not test the SegmentHealth function with actual production
values, and it turns out that values such as 52 healthy, 35 minimum
result in +Inf segment health - so pretty much all segments put into the
repair queue have the same health, which means we effectively aren't
sorting by health.
This change inserts numHealthy as segment health into the database so
the segments are ordered as they were before. We need to refine the
SegmentHealth function before we can support multi RS.

repair override values based on a particular segment's RS scheme.
The new format for RS override values is
"k/o/n-override,k/o/n-override..."

Firstly, this changes the repair functionality to return Canceled errors
when a repair is canceled during the Get phase. Previously, because we
do not track individual errors per piece, this would just show up as a
failure to download enough pieces to repair the segment, which would
cause the segment to be added to the IrreparableDB, which is entirely
unhelpful.
Then, ignore Canceled errors in the return value of the repair worker.
Apparently, when the worker returns an error, that makes Cobra exit the
program with a nonzero exit code, which causes some piece of our
deployment automation to freak out and page people. And when we ask the
repair worker to shut down, "canceled" errors are what we _expect_, not
an error case.

We plan to add support for a new Reed-Solomon scheme soon, but our
repair queue orders segments by least number of healthy pieces first.
With a second RS scheme, fewer healthy pieces will not necessarily
correlate to lower health.
This change just adds the new column in a migration. A separate change
will add the new health function.
Right now, since we only support one RS scheme, behavior will not
change. Number of healthy pieces is being inserted as "segment health"
until the new health function is merged.
Segment health is calculated with a new priority function created in
commit 3e5640359. In order to use the function, a new config value is
added, called NodeFailureRate, representing the approximate probability
of any individual node going down in the duration of one checker run.

The current monkit reporting for "remote_segments_lost" is not usable for
triggering alerts, as it has reported no data. To allow alerting, two new
metrics "checker_segments_below_min_req" and "repairer_segments_below_min_req"
will increment by zero on each segment unless it is below the minimum
required piece count. The two metrics report what is found by the checker
and the repairer respectively.

Make metainfo.RSConfig a valid pflag config value. This allows us to
configure the RSConfig as a string like k/m/o/n-shareSize, which makes
having multiple supported RS schemes easier in the future.
RS-related config values that are no longer needed have been removed
(MinTotalThreshold, MaxTotalThreshold, MaxBufferMem, Verify).

A change was made to use a metabase.SegmentKey (a byte slice alias)
as the last seen item to iterate through the irreparable DB in a
for loop. However, this SegmentKey was not initialized, thus it was
nil. This caused the DB query to return nothing, and healthy segments
could not be cleaned out of the irreparable DB.

With the new overlay.AuditOutcome type for offline audits, the
IsUp field is redundant. If AuditOutcome != AuditOffline, then
the node is online.
In addition to removing the field itself, other changes needed
to be made regarding the relationship between 'uptime' and 'audits'.
Previously, uptime and audit outcome were completely separated. For
example, it was possible to update a node's stats to give it a
successful/failed/unknown audit while simultaneously indicating that
the node was offline by setting IsUp to false. This is no longer possible
under this changeset. Some test which did this have been changed slightly
in order to pass.
Also add new benchmarks for UpdateStats and BatchUpdateStats with different
audit outcomes.

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.
