This is to simplify the backup process so that whenever there is an old epoch
in the log system, we always know its begin version and can backup from that
version if no progress is known for that old epoch.
For backup workers working on old epochs, once their work is done, they will
notify the master. Then the master removes them from the log system and
acknowledge back to the backup workers so that they can gracefully shut down.
The popping of a backup worker is stalled if there are workers from older
epochs still working. Otherwise, workers from old epochs will lost data.
However, allowing newer epoch to start backup can cause holes in version ranges.
The restore process must verify the backup progress to make sure there are no
holes, otherwise it has to wait.
This enables backup workers to know the end version of the epoch. Additionally,
the master recovery only needs to deal with crashed backup workers by
recruiting new workers to backup the unfinished version range.
We don't need to abide by object serializer rules yet, and the minor
change to Simulation config lets us test config being the default at the
start of the test.
* log_version in the database (`/conf/log_version`) is now a hint that gets
rounded to the nearest supported version.
* fdbcli and FDB enforce that only a valid log_version can be configured to
* TLogVersion is persisted in CoreTLogSet (and LogSet and TLogSet)
* Some comments here and there
* Add an assert on filename length to make sure KV-pairs in filename
don't exceed a maximum length.
Remove the use of relative paths. A header at foo/bar.h could be included by
files under foo/ with "bar.h", but would be included everywhere else as
"foo/bar.h". Adjust so that every include references such a header with the
latter form.

epochEnd exclusively refers to the last version a set of logs is responsible for serving peek requests for
recoverAt and recoveredAt refer to the last committed version of the previous generation
