bbe14f0a2e Switch from x/net/context to context
Since Go 1.7, context is a standard package, superceding the
"x/net/context". Since Go 1.9, the latter only provides a few type
aliases from the former. Therefore, it makes sense to switch to the
standard package.

This commit was generated by the following script (with a couple of
minor fixups to remove extra changes done by goimports):

9d0d4b806c context pkg: untangle
Since Go 1.7, "context" is a standard package, superceding the
"x/net/context". Since Go 1.9, the latter only provides type aliases
from the former. Therefore, it makes sense to switch to the standard
package, and the change is not disruptive in any sense.

This commit deals with a few cases where both packages happened to be
imported by the same source file. A choice between "context" and
"gocontext" was made for each file in order to minimize the patch.

Update metadata image store to be initialized once
The boltdb image store now manages its own transactions when
one is not provided, but allows the caller to pass in a
transaction through the context. This makes the image store
more similar to the content and snapshot stores. Additionally,
use the reference to the metadata database to mark the content
store as dirty after an image has been deleted. The deletion
of an image means a reference to a piece of content is gone
and therefore garbage collection should be run to check if
any resources can be cleaned up as a result.

api/events: split event types from events service
To avoid importing all of grpc when consuming events, the types of
events have been split in to a separate package. This should allow a
reduction in memory usage in cases where a package is consuming events

events: refactor event distribution
In the course of setting out to add filters and address some cleanup, it
was found that we had a few problems in the events subsystem that needed
addressing before moving forward.

The biggest change was to move to the more standard terminology of
publish and subscribe. We make this terminology change across the Go
interface and the GRPC API, making the behavior more familier. The
previous system was very context-oriented, which is no longer required.

With this, we've removed a large amount of dead and unneeded code. Event
transactions, context storage and the concept of `Poster` is gone. This
has been replaced in most places with a `Publisher`, which matches the
actual usage throughout the codebase, removing the need for helpers.

There are still some questions around the way events are handled in the
shim. Right now, we've preserved some of the existing bugs which may
require more extensive changes to resolve correctly.

images, containers: converge metadata API conventions
The primary feature we get with this PR is support for filters and
labels on the image metadata store. In the process of doing this, the
conventions for the API have been converged between containers and
images, providing a model for other services.

With images, `Put` (renamed to `Update` briefly) has been split into a
`Create` and `Update`, allowing one to control the behavior around these
operations. `Update` now includes support for masking fields at the
datastore-level across both the containers and image service. Filters
are now just string values to interpreted directly within the data
store. This should allow for some interesting future use cases in which
the datastore might use the syntax for more efficient query paths.

The containers service has been updated to follow these conventions as
closely as possible.

errdefs: centralize error handling
Now that we have most of the services required for use with containerd,
it was found that common patterns were used throughout services. By
defining a central `errdefs` package, we ensure that services will map
errors to and from grpc consistently and cleanly. One can decorate an
error with as much context as necessary, using `pkg/errors` and still
have the error mapped correctly via grpc.

We make a few sacrifices. At this point, the common errors we use across
the repository all map directly to grpc error codes. While this seems
positively crazy, it actually works out quite well. The error conditions
that were specific weren't super necessary and the ones that were
necessary now simply have better context information. We lose the
ability to add new codes, but this constraint may not be a bad thing.

Effectively, as long as one uses the errors defined in `errdefs`, the
error class will be mapped correctly across the grpc boundary and
everything will be good. If you don't use those definitions, the error
maps to "unknown" and the error message is preserved.

events: move types into service package
When using events, it was found to be fairly unwieldy with a number of
extra packages. For the most part, when interacting with the events
service, we want types of the same version of the service. This has been
accomplished by moving all events types into the events package.

In addition, several fixes to the way events are marshaled have been
included. Specifically, we defer to the protobuf type registration
system to assemble events and type urls, with a little bit sheen on top
of add a containerd.io oriented namespace.

This has resulted in much cleaner event consumption and has removed the
reliance on error prone type urls, in favor of concrete types.

namespaces: support within containerd
To support multi-tenancy, containerd allows the collection of metadata
and runtime objects within a heirarchical storage primitive known as
namespaces. Data cannot be shared across these namespaces, unless
allowed by the service. This allows multiple sets of containers to
managed without interaction between the clients that management. This
means that different users, such as SwarmKit, K8s, Docker and others can
use containerd without coordination. Through labels, one may use
namespaces as a tool for cleanly organizing the use of containerd
containers, including the metadata storage for higher level features,
such as ACLs.

Namespaces

Namespaces cross-cut all containerd operations and are communicated via
context, either within the Go context or via GRPC headers. As a general
rule, no features are tied to namespace, other than organization. This
will be maintained into the future. They are created as a side-effect of
operating on them or may be created manually. Namespaces can be labeled
for organization. They cannot be deleted unless the namespace is empty,
although we may want to make it so one can clean up the entirety of
containerd by deleting a namespace.

Most users will interface with namespaces by setting in the
context or via the `CONTAINERD_NAMESPACE` environment variable, but the
experience is mostly left to the client. For `ctr` and `dist`, we have
defined a "default" namespace that will be created up on use, but there
is nothing special about it. As part of this PR we have plumbed this
behavior through all commands, cleaning up context management along the
way.

Namespaces in Action

Namespaces can be managed with the `ctr namespaces` subcommand. They
can be created, labeled and destroyed.

A few commands can demonstrate the power of namespaces for use with
images. First, lets create a namespace:

```
$ ctr namespaces create foo mylabel=bar
$ ctr namespaces ls
NAME LABELS
foo  mylabel=bar
```

We can see that we have a namespace `foo` and it has a label. Let's pull
an image:

```

Wow, that was very snappy! Looks like we pulled that image into out
namespace but didn't have to download any new data because we are
sharing storage. Let's take a peak at the images we have in `foo`:

```
$ CONTAINERD_NAMESPACE=foo dist images ls
REF                            TYPE DIGEST SIZE
docker.io/library/redis:latest application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json sha256:548a75066f3f280eb017a6ccda34c561ccf4f25459ef8e36d6ea582b6af1decf 72.7 MiB
```

Now, let's remove that image from `foo`:

```
$ CONTAINERD_NAMESPACE=foo dist images rm
docker.io/library/redis:latest
```

Looks like it is gone:

```
$ CONTAINERD_NAMESPACE=foo dist images ls
REF TYPE DIGEST SIZE
```

But, as we can see, it is present in the `default` namespace:

```
$ dist images ls
REF                            TYPE DIGEST SIZE
docker.io/library/redis:latest application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json sha256:548a75066f3f280eb017a6ccda34c561ccf4f25459ef8e36d6ea582b6af1decf 72.7 MiB
```

What happened here? We can tell by listing the namespaces to get a
better understanding:

```
$ ctr namespaces ls
NAME    LABELS
default
foo     mylabel=bar
```

From the above, we can see that the `default` namespace was created with
the standard commands without the environment variable set. Isolating
the set of shared images while sharing the data that matters.

Since we removed the images for namespace `foo`, we can remove it now:

```
$ ctr namespaces rm foo
foo
```

However, when we try to remove the `default` namespace, we get an error:

```
$ ctr namespaces rm default
ctr: unable to delete default: rpc error: code = FailedPrecondition desc = namespace default must be empty
```

This is because we require that namespaces be empty when removed.

Caveats

- While most metadata objects are namespaced, containers and tasks may
exhibit some issues. We still need to move runtimes to namespaces and
the container metadata storage may not be fully worked out.
- Still need to migrate content store to metadata storage and namespace
the content store such that some data storage (ie images).
- Specifics of snapshot driver's relation to namespace needs to be
worked out in detail.

metadata: merge storage into package
The implementations for the storage of metadata have been merged into a
single metadata package where they can share storage primitives and
techniques. The is a requisite for the addition of namespaces, which
will require a coordinated layout for records to be organized by
namespace.

api/services: define the container metadata service
Working from feedback on the existing implementation, we have now
introduced a central metadata object to represent the lifecycle and pin
the resources required to implement what people today know as
containers. This includes the runtime specification and the root
filesystem snapshots. We also allow arbitrary labeling of the container.
Such provisions will bring the containerd definition of container closer
to what is expected by users.

The objects that encompass today's ContainerService, centered around the
runtime, will be known as tasks. These tasks take on the existing
lifecycle behavior of containerd's containers, which means that they are
deleted when they exit. Largely, there are no other changes except for
naming.

The `Container` object will operate purely as a metadata object. No
runtime state will be held on `Container`. It only informs the execution
service on what is required for creating tasks and the resources in use
by that container. The resources referenced by that container will be
deleted when the container is deleted, if not in use. In this sense,
users can create, list, label and delete containers in a similar way as
they do with docker today, without the complexity of runtime locks that
plagues current implementations.

services/images: simplify transaction management
For some reason, when I wrote this, I forgot about the `View` and
`Update` helpers on boltdb. These are now used and makes the code much
easier to follow.

images, services/images: implement image service
Server and Client images of the image store are now provided. We have
created an image metadata interface and converted the bolt functions to
implement that interface over an transaction. A remote client
implementation is provided that implements the same interface.

api/services/images: define images metadata service
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.
