Dynamic switch between brassaia and irmin

Mathias Bourgoin requested to merge mb@dynamic_switch_brassaia_irmin into master

What

This provides an option to select which backend context to use at runtime between Irmin and Brassaia

Why

To be able to test the brassaia backend!

How

By using the already existing Context_ops abstraction everywhere (without relying on the low_level concrete Irmin-based lib_context) and adding an new backend for Context_ops dedicated to lib_brassaia.

Manually testing the MR

Please run tests using

  • TEZOS_CONTEXT_BACKEND=Brassaia to force the usage of Brassaia

You can use TEZOS_CONTEXT=vv to observe debug message that should show the (non)usage of the expected library.
