The split between provider and ingester was a long standing division
reflecting the client-side use cases. For the most part, we were
differentiating these for the algorithms that operate them, but it made
instantation and use of the types challenging. On the server-side, this
distinction is generally less important. This change unifies these types
and in the process we get a few benefits.
The first is that we now completely access the content store over GRPC.
This was the initial intent and we have now satisfied this goal
completely. There are a few issues around listing content and getting
status, but we resolve these with simple streaming and regexp filters.
More can probably be done to polish this but the result is clean.
Several other content-oriented methods were polished in the process of
unification. We have now properly seperated out the `Abort` method to
cancel ongoing or stalled ingest processes. We have also replaced the
`Active` method with a single status method.
The transition went extremely smoothly. Once the clients were updated to
use the new methods, every thing worked as expected on the first
compile.

Allow deletion of content over the GRPC interface. For now, we are going
with a model that conducts reference management outside of the content
store, in the metadata store but this design is valid either way.

After implementing pull, a few changes are required to the content store
interface to make sure that the implementation works smoothly.
Specifically, we work to make sure the predeclaration path for digests
works the same between remote and local writers. Before, we were
hesitent to require the the size and digest up front, but it became
clear that having this provided significant benefit.
There are also several cleanups related to naming. We now call the
expected digest `Expected` consistently across the board and `Total` is
used to mark the expected size.
This whole effort comes together to provide a very smooth status
reporting workflow for image pull and push. This will be more obvious
when the bulk of pull code lands.
There are a few other changes to make `content.WriteBlob` more broadly
useful. In accordance with addition for predeclaring expected size when
getting a `Writer`, `WriteBlob` now supports this fully. It will also
resume downloads if provided an `io.Seeker` or `io.ReaderAt`. Coupled
with the `httpReadSeeker` from `docker/distribution`, we should only be
a lines of code away from resumable downloads.

After iterating on the GRPC API, the changes required for the actual
implementation are now included in the content store. The begin change
is the move to a single, atomic `Ingester.Writer` method for locking
content ingestion on a key. From this, comes several new interface
definitions.
The main benefit here is the clarification between `Status` and `Info`
that came out of the GPRC API. `Status` tells the status of a write,
whereas `Info` is for querying metadata about various blobs.
