With this change the cluster metadata (arbitrary key-value data associated with each node) is now broadcast across the cluster using the standard consensus mechanism. Specifically the use case for this metadata is to allow all nodes know the HTTP API address of all other nodes, for the purpose of redirecting requests to the leader.
This change removed the need for multiplexing two logical connections
over the single Raft TCP connection, which greatly simplifies the
networking code generally.

The Query() and Execute() functions on the Store now take a complex type
that encapsulates the statements, and associated parameters. This will
make it easier to add more control parameters when making requests.
Writing a sufficiently sophisicated parser is too much work, and unlikely to be successful soon. Instead this change simply loads the entire dump as one command, and allows the underlying SQLite support to parse it correctly. This will definitely work, but since the load goes over Raft, it may hit limits with regards to network transfer sizes. Right now any limitations in that area are unknown.
Therefore this functionality remains somewhat experimental.
This is useful in case the server needs to store other metadata (e.g. auth
data) along side the peer list.
The logging bit is handy in case something has its own logging framework
that it wants to use.

Integrate TCP mux with cluster and store
This change allows any node, including followers, to use the Raft log to make changes to a cluster-wide state.
