This adds the ability to enable "optimistic provide" to the default
DHT client, which enables faster provides and reprovides.

Note that this feature only works when using non-custom router
types. This does not include the ability to enable optimistic provide
on custom routers for now, to minimize the footprint of this
experimental feature. We intend on continuing to test this and improve
the UX, which may or may not involve adding configuration for it to
custom routers. We also plan on refactoring/redesigning custom routers
more broadly so I don't want this to add more effort for maintainers
and confusion for users.
This also means that rb-pinning-service-api is no longer required for
running remote pinning tests. This alone saves at least 3 minutes in
test runtime in CI because we don't need to checkout the repo, build
the Docker image, run it, etc.
Instead this implements a simple pinning service in Go that the test
runs in-process, with a callback that can be used to control the async
behavior of the pinning service (e.g. simulate work happening
asynchronously like transitioning from "queued" -> "pinning" ->
"pinned").
This also adds an environment variable to Kubo to control the MFS
remote pin polling interval, so that we don't have to wait 30 seconds
in the test for MFS changes to be repinned. This is purely for tests
so I don't think we should document this.
This entire test suite runs in around 2.5 sec on my laptop, compared to
the existing 3+ minutes in CI.
The test trims all whitespace bytes from the output of 'ipfs cat' but
if the random bytes end in a whitespace char then it trims that too,
resulting in random test failure.
Instead this updates the test harness to only trim a single trailing
newline char, so that it doesn't end up chomping legitimate output.
This is the slowest test in the sharness test suite, because it has
very long sleeps. It usually takes 2+ minutes to run.
This new impl runs all peering tests in about 20 seconds, since it
polls for conditions instead of sleeping, and runs the tests in
parallel.
This also has an additional test case for a peer that was never online
and then connects.
This is intended as a replacement for sharness. These are vanilla Go
tests which can be run in your IDE for quick iteration on end-to-end
CLI tests.
This also removes IPTB by duplicating its functionality in the test
harness. This isn't a big deal...IPTB's complexity is mostly around
the fact that its state needs to be saved to disk in between `iptb`
command invocations, and that it uses Go plugins to inject
functionality, neither of which are relevant here.
If we merge this, we'll have to live with bifurcated tests for a while
until they are all migrated. I'd recommend we self-enforce a rule
that, if we need to touch a sharness test, we migrate it and one more
test over to Go tests first. Then eventually we will have migrated
everything.
