Crate ant_bootstrap

Bootstrap Cache for the Autonomous Network

This crate provides a decentralized peer discovery and caching system for the Autonomi Network. It implements a robust peer management system with the following features:

• Decentralized Design: No dedicated bootstrap nodes required
• Cross-Platform Support: Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows
• Shared Cache: System-wide cache file accessible by both nodes and clients
• Concurrent Access: File locking for safe multi-process access
• Atomic Operations: Safe cache updates using atomic file operations
• Initial Peer Discovery: Fallback web endpoints for new/stale cache scenarios
