After receiving feedback during containerd summit walk through of the
pull POC, we found that the resolution flow for names was out of place.
We could see this present in awkward places where we were trying to
re-resolve whether something was a digest or a tag and extra retries to
various endpoints.
By centering this problem around, "what do we write in the metadata
store?", the following interface comes about:
```
Resolve(ctx context.Context, ref string) (name string, desc ocispec.Descriptor, fetcher Fetcher, err error)
```
The above takes an "opaque" reference (we'll get to this later) and
returns the canonical name for the object, a content description of the
object and a `Fetcher` that can be used to retrieve the object and its
child resources. We can write `name` into the metadata store, pointing
at the descriptor. Descisions about discovery, trust, provenance,
distribution are completely abstracted away from the pulling code.
A first response to such a monstrosity is "that is a lot of return
arguments". When we look at the actual, we can see that in practice, the
usage pattern works well, albeit we don't quite demonstrate the utility
of `name`, which will be more apparent later. Designs that allowed
separate resolution of the `Fetcher` and the return of a collected
object were considered. Let's give this a chance before we go
refactoring this further.
With this change, we introduce a reference package with helps for
remotes to decompose "docker-esque" references into consituent
components, without arbitrarily enforcing those opinions on the backend.
Utlimately, the name and the reference used to qualify that name are
completely opaque to containerd. Obviously, implementors will need to
show some candor in following some conventions, but the possibilities
are fairly wide. Structurally, we still maintain the concept of the
locator and object but the interpretation is up to the resolver.
For the most part, the `dist` tool operates exactly the same, except
objects can be fetched with a reference:
```
dist fetch docker.io/library/redis:latest
```
The above should work well with a running containerd instance. I
recommend giving this a try with `fetch-object`, as well. With
`fetch-object`, it is easy for one to better understand the intricacies
of the OCI/Docker image formats.
Ultimately, this serves the main purpose of the elusive "metadata
store".

With the rename of fetch to fetch-object, we now introduce the `fetch`
command. It will fetch all of the resources required for an image into
the content store. We'll still need to follow this up with metadata
registration but this is a good start.

To make using the `fetch-object` for demonstrations much easier, the
mediatypes are defaulted when a non-digest object identifier is
provided. We also add support for OCI mediatypes, although they are
mostly unavailable.

To allow us to differentiate from fetching an image, fetch a part of an
image and pulling an image, we now call the `fetch` command the
`fetch-object` command. We can now introduce a command that does the
complete image fetch without creating snapshots, allowing `pull` to
perform the entire process.

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.

When using the fetcher concurrently, the loop modifying the closed
`base` parameter was causing urls from different digests to be returned
randomly. We copy the the value and then modify it to make it work
correctly.
Luckily, we are using content addressable storage or this would have
been undetectable.

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.

This setup will now correctly set the version number from the git tag.
When using `--version`, we will see the binary name, the package it was
built from and a git hash based on the tag:
```console
$./bin/dist -v
./bin/dist github.com/docker/containerd 0b45d91.m
```
Note that in the above example, if we set a tag of `v1.0.0-dev`, that
will show up in the version number, as follows:
```console
$./bin/dist -v
./bin/dist github.com/docker/containerd v1.0.0-dev
```
Once commits are made past that tag, the version number will be
expressed relative to that tag and include a git hash:
```console
$./bin/dist -v
./bin/dist github.com/docker/containerd v1.0.0-dev-1-g7953e96.m
```
Some these examples include a `.m` postfix. This indicates that the
binary was build from a source tree with local modifications.
We can add a dev tag to start getting 1.0 version numbers for test
builds.

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.

This adds a config file for containerd configuration. It is hard to
have structure data on cli flags and the config file should be used for
the majority of fields when configuring containerd.
There are still a few flags on the daemon that override config file
values but flags should take a back seat going forward and should be
kept at a minimum.

After trying to explain the complexities of developing with protobuf, I
have now created a command that correctly calculates the import paths
for each package and runs the protobuf command.
The Makefile has been updated accordingly, expect we now no longer use
`go generate`. A new target `protos` has been defined. We alias the two,
for the lazy. We leave `go generate` in place for cases where we will
actually use `go generate`.
