Periodically trigger database writes when write volume is insufficient #39

Introduce a NextEpoch RPC between leader and followers so leader can explicitly trigger a database flip.

This is gonna be a weird thing to try and get consistent order. I'm not convinced this is the 'correct' way. Instead, there should be a flag in a write that follows the same channel delivery system to signal it. The problem is how followers can identify the special write has been triggered by the leader, and isn't a malicious client RPC. This works as a placehodler until that solution is done.

Only comment is about Bucket(). I'm not gonna worry too much about the rest of it, because we've already discussed how this is going to be refactored anyway

This function is unused?

I'd either add some tests or remove it.

Added the function for debugging. it was nice to be able to recover the bucket i was expecting a write to go into / a read to be of as it left the RequestManager. I'll add a test.
