The logic to determine the validity of a process joining a cluster now
belongs on the worker and the cluster controller. It is no longer
restricted to tlogs and storages, but instead applies to all processes
(even stateless ones).

* support filtered output
* print probes at end of simulation
* fix missed probes print
* fix deduplication
* Fix refactoring issues
* revert bad refactor
* make sure file paths are relative
* fix more wrong refactor changes
* Revert "Revert "Refactor: ClusterController driving cluster-recovery state machine""
Major changes includes:
1. Re-revert Sequencer refactor commits listed below (in listed order):
1.a. This reverts commit bb17e194d9.
1.b. This reverts commit d174bb2e06.
1.c. This reverts commit 30b05b469c.
2. Update Status.actor to track ClusterController interface to track
recovery status.
3. Introduce a ServerKnob to define "cluster recovery trace event"
prefix; for now keeping it as "Master", however, it should allow
smooth transition to "Cluster" prefix as it seems more appropriate.
At present, cluster recovery process consists of following steps:
1. ClusterController clusterWatchDatabase actor recruits
master/sequencer process.
2. Sequencer process implements the cluster recovery state machine,
responsible to recruit all other processes as well restore the
cluster state.
Patch proposes a scheme where the cluster recovery state machine
is implemented and driven by the ClusterController process instead
of the Sequencer process.
Advantages of the scheme could be:
1. Simplified design where ClusterController recruits "sequencer"
process like other worker processes compared to current scheme
where "sequencer" process gets special treatment. In newer scheme
sequencer is responsible for maintaining/providing
"committed version" (as expected).
2. ClusterController is responsible for worker processes recruitment,
the sequencer though orchestrating the recovery state machine, it
need to reachout to the ClusterController for recruiting worker
processes etc.
NOTE:
Patch has moved the recovery state machine code from
'sequencer' -> 'cluster-controller' process, however, necessary
updates were done for both functionality as well as performance
improvement reasons.
Next Steps:
Cluster recovery documentation will be updated in near future.
