For any action which is multi-step (requires updating more than 1 DB
key), use transaction to make update atomic.
Also pack big chunks of updates (importing packages for importing and
mirror updates) into single transaction to improve aptly performance and
get some isolation.
Note that still layers up (Collections) provide some level of isolation,
so this is going to shine with the future PRs to remove collection
locks.
Spin-off of #459
This is spin-off of changes from #459.
Transactions are not being used yet, but batches are updated to work
with the new API.
`database/` package was refactored to split abstract interfaces and
implementation via goleveldb. This should make it easier to implement
new database types.
See #765, #761
Collections were relying on keeping in-memory list of all the objects
for any kind of operation which doesn't scale well the number of
objects in the database.
With this rewrite, objects are loaded only on demand which might
be pessimization in some edge cases but should improve performance
and memory footprint signifcantly.
Allow database to be initialized without opening, unify all the
open paths to retry on failure.
In API router make sure open requests are matched with acks in explicit
way.
This also enables re-open attempts in all the aptly commands, so it
should make running aptly CLI much easier now hopefully.
Fix up system tests for oldoldstable ;)
