This is a work in progress to merge databroker, metadatastore, metadataclient, filestore, portable_mds, and portable_fs into a single repository. The plan is to put all of the code in one repository because

• when we change API / add features all must get it in lockstep so versions should stay in sync
• there is a lot of shared code between the various backends, this makes it easier to share code
• simplify the number of things that need to be installed.

The zoo of dependancies will be handled at install time and with judicious top-level imports.

This will go in several phase

• merge all of the histories
• re-arrange so it installs
• re-arrange into eventsource / header source
• remove redundent code

As previously discussed but possibly not ever written down on GitHub:

Given that this PR is potentially disruptive, any new release this cycle will branch off of the 0.8.x release series.

We intend to continue moving code and removing redundant code and tests until the packages _mds/ and _fs/ are empty and can be removed entirely. We also intend to maximize code reuse between metadatastore and the variants that formerly comprised portable_mds, a job that is partly but not entirely done and, obviously, requires care.

With that, LEROYYYY JENKINSSSS etc....
