base implementation for download-by-root
MERGE REQUEST
Overview
This MR implements code to download a sector root from the network without knowing which host has that sector root. The code is clean and ready to merge, though from a pure cost and performance perspective, there is room for improvement. These performance and cost gains will be pursued after the MDM, EA, and multiplexers are available.
There is testing on the download-by-root
branch where there is more code written. I broke this out so that the download-by-root
branch didn't need to be merged all as one giant ball of code.
