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.

Rather than having a single repair override value, we will now support
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.

Repair workers prioritize the most unhealthy segments. This has the consequence that when we
finally begin to reach the end of the queue, a good portion of the remaining segments are
healthy again as their nodes have come back online. This makes it appear that there are more
injured segments than there actually are.
solution:
Any time the checker observes an injured segment it inserts it into the repair queue or
updates it if it already exists. Therefore, we can determine which segments are no longer
injured if they were not inserted or updated by the last checker iteration. To do this we
add a new column to the injured segments table, updated_at, which is set to the current time
when a segment is inserted or updated. At the end of the checker iteration, we can delete any
items where updated_at < checker start.

* The audit worker wants to get items from the queue and process them.
* The audit chore wants to create new queues and swap them in when the
old queue has been processed.
This change adds a "Queues" struct which handles the concurrency
issues around the worker fetching a queue and the chore swapping a new
queue in. It simplifies the logic of the "Queue" struct to its bare
bones, so that it behaves like a normal queue with no need to understand
the details of swapping and worker/chore interactions.

This change removes the overlay function FindStorageNodesForRepair,
which skips using the node selection cache and hits the database
directly. Otherwise, it is functionally identical to
FindStorageNodesForUpload, which checks the node selection cache first.
When selecting nodes for PUT_REPAIRs, we now call
FindStorageNodesForUpload instead of FindStorageNodesForRepair to reduce
database load.

Inside CreateGetRepairOrderLimits we pass in a list of healthy pieces,
but when we query node info from this list we apply the "reliable" filter
again. We sometimes end up with nodes which at first were healthy, but then
became unhealthy, and thus can be repaired, but we do not update the 'unhealthyPieces'
list with these nodes.
This causes an error, 'piece to add already exists', as we fail to remove these
pieces from the pointer before replacing them with repaired pieces.

What:
Use the github.com/jackc/pgx postgresql driver in place of
github.com/lib/pq.
Why:
github.com/lib/pq has some problems with error handling and context
cancellations (i.e. it might even issue queries or DML statements more
than once! see https://github.com/lib/pq/issues/939). The
github.com/jackx/pgx library appears not to have these problems, and
also appears to be better engineered and implemented (in particular, it
doesn't use "exceptions by panic"). It should also give us some
performance improvements in some cases, and even more so if we can use
it directly instead of going through the database/sql layer.

This will speed up the Put step of repair by not waiting to time out for
a handful of slow nodes, at the expense of a slightly less durable
pointer. It will still repair to the optimal threshold, but not every
node that is selected will end up in the pointer.

Sometimes nodes who have gracefully exited will still be holding pieces
according to the satellite. This has some unintended side effects
currently, such as nodes getting disqualified after having successfully
exited.
* When the audit reporter attempts to update node stats, do not update

finished graceful exit (audit/reporter_test.go TestGracefullyExitedNotUpdated)
