// Package consensus implements a runnable that manages an etcd instance which
// forms part of a Metropolis etcd cluster. This cluster is a foundational
// building block of Metropolis and its startup/management sequencing needs to
// be as robust as possible.
//
// Cluster Structure
//
// Each etcd instance listens for two kinds of traffic:
//
// 1. Peer traffic over TLS on a TCP port of the node's main interface. This is
// where other etcd instances connect to to exchange peer traffic, perform
// transactions and build quorum. The TLS credentials are stored in a PKI that
// is managed internally by the consensus runnable, with its state stored in
// etcd itself.
//
// 2. Client traffic over a local domain socket, with access control based on
// standard Linux user/group permissions. Currently this allows any code running
// as root on the host namespace full access to the etcd cluster.
//
// This means that if code running on a node wishes to perform etcd
// transactions, it must also run an etcd instance. This colocation of all
// direct etcd access and the etcd intances themselves effectively delegate all
// Metropolis control plane functionality to whatever subset of nodes is running
// consensus and all codes that connects to etcd directly (the Curator).
//
// For example, if nodes foo and bar are parts of the control plane, but node
// worker is not:
//
//   .---------------------.
//   | node-foo            |
//   |---------------------|
