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.

This adds pause and unpause to containerd's execution service and the
same commands to the `ctr` client.

This is a first pass at the metadata required for supporting an image
store. We use a shallow approach to the problem, allowing this
component to centralize the naming. Resources for this image can then be
"snowballed" in for actual implementations. This is better understood
through example.
Let's take pull. One could register the name "docker.io/stevvooe/foo" as
pointing at a particular digest. When instructed to pull or fetch, the
system will notice that no components of that image are present locally.
It can then recursively resolve the resources for that image and fetch
them into the content store. Next time the instruction is issued, the
content will be present so no action will be taken.
Another example is preparing the rootfs. The requirements for a rootfs
can be resolved from a name. These "diff ids" will then be compared with
what is available in the snapshot manager. Any parts of the rootfs, such
as a layer, that isn't available in the snapshotter can be unpacked.
Once this process is satisified, the image will be runnable as a
container.
