This changeset move the Manifest type into the storage package to make the type
accessible to client and registry without import cycles. The structure of the
manifest was also changed to accuratle reflect the stages of the signing
process. A straw man Manifest.Sign method has been added to start testing this
concept out but will probably be accompanied by the more import
SignedManifest.Verify method as the security model develops.
This is probably the start of a concerted effort to consolidate types across
the client and server portions of the code base but we may want to see how such
a handy type, like the Manifest and SignedManifest, would work in docker core.
This changeset defines the application structure to be used for the http side
of the new registry. The main components are the App and Context structs. The
App context is instance global and manages global configuration and resources.
Context contains request-specific resources that may be created as a by-product
of an in-flight request.
To latently construct per-request handlers and leverage gorilla/mux, a dispatch
structure has been propped up next to the main handler flow. Without this, a
router and all handlers need to be constructed on every request. By
constructing handlers on each request, we ensure thread isolation and can
carefully control the security context of in-flight requests. There are unit
tests covering this functionality.
