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.

Under certain circumstances, the use of `StorageDriver.GetContent` can
result in unbounded memory allocations. In particualr, this happens when
accessing a layer through the manifests endpoint.
This problem is mitigated by setting a 4MB limit when using to access
content that may have been accepted from a user. In practice, this means
setting the limit with the use of `BlobProvider.Get` by wrapping
`StorageDriver.GetContent` in a helper that uses `StorageDriver.Reader`
with a `limitReader` that returns an error.
When mitigating this security issue, we also noticed that the size of
manifests uploaded to the registry is also unlimited. We apply similar
logic to the request body of payloads that are full buffered.
