Several API tests were added to ensure correct acceptance of zero-size and
empty tar files. This led to several changes in the storage backend around the
guarantees of remote file reading, which backs the layer and layer upload type.
In support of these changes, zero-length and empty checks have been added to
the digest package. These provide a sanity check against upstream tarsum
changes. The fileReader has been modified to be more robust when reading and
seeking on zero-length or non-existent files. The file no longer needs to exist
for the reader to be created. Seeks can now move beyond the end of the file,
causing reads to issue an io.EOF. This eliminates errors during certain race
conditions for reading files which should be detected by stat calls. As a part
of this, a few error types were factored out and the read buffer size was
increased to something more reasonable.

In support of making the storage API ready for supporting notifications and
mirroring, we've begun the process of paring down the storage model. The
process started by creating a central Registry interface. From there, the
common name argument on the LayerService and ManifestService was factored into
a Repository interface. The rest of the changes directly follow from this.
An interface wishlist was added, suggesting a direction to take the registry
package that should support the distribution project's future goals. As these
objects move out of the storage package and we implement a Registry backed by
the http client, these design choices will start getting validation.

This change refactors the storage backend to use the new path layout. To
facilitate this, manifest storage has been separated into a revision store and
tag store, supported by a more general blob store. The blob store is a hybrid
object, effectively providing both small object access, keyed by content
address, as well as methods that can be used to manage and traverse links to
underlying blobs. This covers common operations used in the revision store and
tag store, such as linking and traversal. The blob store can also be updated to
better support layer reading but this refactoring has been left for another
day.
The revision store and tag store support the manifest store's compound view of
data. These underlying stores provide facilities for richer access models, such
as content-addressable access and a richer tagging model. The highlight of this
change is the ability to sign a manifest from different hosts and have the
registry merge and serve those signatures as part of the manifest package.
Various other items, such as the delegate layer handler, were updated to more
directly use the blob store or other mechanism to fit with the changes.
