gossip: Get rid of seed concept
The concept of seed and the different behaviour between seed nodes and
non seed nodes generate a lot of confusion, complication and error for
users. For example, how to add a seed node into into a cluster, how to
promote a non seed node to a seed node, how to choose seeds node in
multiple DC setup, edit config files for seeds, why seed node does not
bootstrap.
If we remove the concept of seed, it will get much easier for users.
After this series, seed config option is only used once when a new node
joins a cluster.
Major changes:
Seed nodes are only used as the initial contact point nodes.
Seed nodes now perform bootstrap. The only exception is the first node
in the cluster.
The unsafe auto_bootstrap option is now ignored.
Gossip shadow round now talks to all nodes instead of just seed nodes.
Refs: #6845
Tests: update_cluster_layout_tests.py + manual test
