Several storage drivers and storage middlewares need to introspect the
client HTTP request in order to construct content-redirect URLs. The
request is indirectly passed into the driver interface method URLFor()
through the context argument, which is bad practice. The request should
be passed in as an explicit argument as the method is only called from
request handlers.
Replace the URLFor() method with a RedirectURL() method which takes an
HTTP request as a parameter instead of a context. Drop the options
argument from URLFor() as in practice it only ever encoded the request
method, which can now be fetched directly from the request. No URLFor()
callers ever passed in an "expiry" option, either.

Go 1.13 and up enforce import paths to be versioned if a project
contains a go.mod and has released v2 or up.
The current v2.x branches (and releases) do not yet have a go.mod,
and therefore are still allowed to be imported with a non-versioned
import path (go modules add a `+incompatible` annotation in that case).
However, now that this project has a `go.mod` file, incompatible
import paths will not be accepted by go modules, and attempting
to use code from this repository will fail.
This patch uses `v3` for the import-paths (not `v2`), because changing
import paths itself is a breaking change, which means that the
next release should increment the "major" version to comply with
SemVer (as go modules dictate).

Back in the before time, the best practices surrounding usage of Context
weren't quite worked out. We defined our own type to make usage easier.
As this packaged was used elsewhere, it make it more and more
challenging to integrate with the forked `Context` type. Now that it is
available in the standard library, we can just use that one directly.
To make usage more consistent, we now use `dcontext` when referring to
the distribution context package.

Errors thrown by storage drivers don't have the name of the driver, causing user
confusion about whether the error is coming from Docker or from a storage driver.
This change adds the storage driver name to each error message.
This required changing ErrUnsupportedDriver to a type, leading to code changes
whenever ErrUnsupportedDriver is used. The tests check whether the driver name
appears in the error message.

Storage drivers can implement a method called URLFor which can return a direct
url for a given path. The functionality allows the registry to direct clients
to download content directly from the backend storage. This is commonly used
with s3 and cloudfront. Under certain conditions, such as when the registry is
not local to the backend, these redirects can hurt performance and waste
incoming bandwidth on pulls. This feature addition allows one to disable this
feature, if required.

After consideration, we've changed the main descriptor field name to for number
of bytes to "size" to match convention. While this may be a subjective
argument, commonly we refer to files by their "size" rather than their
"length". This will match other conventions, like `(FileInfo).Size()` and
methods on `io.SizeReaderAt`. Under more broad analysis, this argument doesn't
necessarily hold up. If anything, "size" is shorter than "length".

This PR refactors the blob service API to be oriented around blob descriptors.
Identified by digests, blobs become an abstract entity that can be read and
written using a descriptor as a handle. This allows blobs to take many forms,
such as a ReadSeekCloser or a simple byte buffer, allowing blob oriented
operations to better integrate with blob agnostic APIs (such as the `io`
package). The error definitions are now better organized to reflect conditions
that can only be seen when interacting with the blob API.
The main benefit of this is to separate the much smaller metadata from large
file storage. Many benefits also follow from this. Reading and writing has
been separated into discrete services. Backend implementation is also
simplified, by reducing the amount of metadata that needs to be picked up to
simply serve a read. This also improves cacheability.
"Opening" a blob simply consists of an access check (Stat) and a path
calculation. Caching is greatly simplified and we've made the mapping of
provisional to canonical hashes a first-class concept. BlobDescriptorService
and BlobProvider can be combined in different ways to achieve varying effects.
Recommend Review Approach
-------------------------
This is a very large patch. While apologies are in order, we are getting a
considerable amount of refactoring. Most changes follow from the changes to
the root package (distribution), so start there. From there, the main changes
are in storage. Looking at (*repository).Blobs will help to understand the how
the linkedBlobStore is wired. One can explore the internals within and also
branch out into understanding the changes to the caching layer. Following the
descriptions below will also help to guide you.
To reduce the chances for regressions, it was critical that major changes to
unit tests were avoided. Where possible, they are left untouched and where
not, the spirit is hopefully captured. Pay particular attention to where
behavior may have changed.
Storage
-------
The primary changes to the `storage` package, other than the interface
updates, were to merge the layerstore and blobstore. Blob access is now
layered even further. The first layer, blobStore, exposes a global
`BlobStatter` and `BlobProvider`. Operations here provide a fast path for most
read operations that don't take access control into account. The
`linkedBlobStore` layers on top of the `blobStore`, providing repository-
scoped blob link management in the backend. The `linkedBlobStore` implements
the full `BlobStore` suite, providing access-controlled, repository-local blob
writers. The abstraction between the two is slightly broken in that
`linkedBlobStore` is the only channel under which one can write into the global
blob store. The `linkedBlobStore` also provides flexibility in that it can act
over different link sets depending on configuration. This allows us to use the
same code for signature links, manifest links and blob links. Eventually, we
will fully consolidate this storage.
The improved cache flow comes from the `linkedBlobStatter` component
of `linkedBlobStore`. Using a `cachedBlobStatter`, these combine together to
provide a simple cache hierarchy that should streamline access checks on read
and write operations, or at least provide a single path to optimize. The
metrics have been changed in a slightly incompatible way since the former
operations, Fetch and Exists, are no longer relevant.
The fileWriter and fileReader have been slightly modified to support the rest
of the changes. The most interesting is the removal of the `Stat` call from
`newFileReader`. This was the source of unnecessary round trips that were only
present to look up the size of the resulting reader. Now, one must simply pass
in the size, requiring the caller to decide whether or not the `Stat` call is
appropriate. In several cases, it turned out the caller already had the size
already. The `WriterAt` implementation has been removed from `fileWriter`,
since it is no longer required for `BlobWriter`, reducing the number of paths
which writes may take.
Cache
-----
Unfortunately, the `cache` package required a near full rewrite. It was pretty
mechanical in that the cache is oriented around the `BlobDescriptorService`
slightly modified to include the ability to set the values for individual
digests. While the implementation is oriented towards caching, it can act as a
primary store. Provisions are in place to have repository local metadata, in
addition to global metadata. Fallback is implemented as a part of the storage
package to maintain this flexibility.
One unfortunate side-effect is that caching is now repository-scoped, rather
than global. This should have little effect on performance but may increase
memory usage.
Handlers
--------
The `handlers` package has been updated to leverage the new API. For the most
part, the changes are superficial or mechanical based on the API changes. This
did expose a bug in the handling of provisional vs canonical digests that was
fixed in the unit tests.
Configuration
-------------
One user-facing change has been made to the configuration and is updated in
the associated documentation. The `layerinfo` cache parameter has been
deprecated by the `blobdescriptor` cache parameter. Both are equivalent and
configuration files should be backward compatible.
Notifications
-------------
Changes the `notification` package are simply to support the interface
changes.
Context
-------
A small change has been made to the tracing log-level. Traces have been moved
from "info" to "debug" level to reduce output when not needed.
