This is a giant cleanup of the etcd code. The earlier version was
written when I was less experienced with golang.
This is still not perfect, and does contain some races, but at least
it's a decent base to start from. The automatic elastic clustering
should be considered an experimental feature. If you need a more
battle-tested cluster, then you should manage etcd manually and point
mgmt at your existing cluster.
The test for gometalinter got silently broken in an earlier commit.
Look for the missing space that was added back in this commit to see
why! In any case, this now fixes some of the things that weren't
previously caught by this change.
If anyone knows how to run these sorts of tests properly so that entire
packages are tested and so that we can enable additional tests, please
let me know!
It's also unclear why goreportcard catches a few additional problems
which aren't found by running this ourselves.

This is an initial implementation of the mgmt language. It is a
declarative (immutable) functional, reactive, domain specific
programming language. It is intended to be a language that is:
* safe
* powerful
* easy to reason about
With these properties, we hope this language, and the mgmt engine will
allow you to model the real-time systems that you'd like to automate.
This also includes a number of other associated changes. Sorry for the
large size of this patch.
