Module kitsune_p2p_types::consistency

Types used for consistency checking during tests or dht health checks. These types describe a protocol that can be implemented to gather statistics on data consistency. This is a first prototype so expect this to change.

The idea is that a central node can request all the published hashes from a set of nodes on the DHT and then create a consistency session for each node. The sessions can then be sent to each node so they can self-check what they should be holding and then send back small session reports at a set frequency.

This allows consistency and health checks to be run at scale with minimal network traffic. It does require honest network nodes. (Although this could be strengthened).
