Changing `memory` option to limit resident memory instead of virtual memory, in config file and fdbserver/fdbbackup/fdbcli command-line argument. Since `rlimit` doesn't support limiting virtual memory, the current implementation have both of fdbmonitor and the fdbserver/fdbbackup process checking process RSS periodically and kill and restart the process if the limit is exceeded.
Adding a new `memory_vsize` option to limit virtual memory, if backward-compatible behavior is desired.

* Revert "Revert "Refactor: ClusterController driving cluster-recovery state machine""
Major changes includes:
1. Re-revert Sequencer refactor commits listed below (in listed order):
1.a. This reverts commit bb17e194d9.
1.b. This reverts commit d174bb2e06.
1.c. This reverts commit 30b05b469c.
2. Update Status.actor to track ClusterController interface to track
recovery status.
3. Introduce a ServerKnob to define "cluster recovery trace event"
prefix; for now keeping it as "Master", however, it should allow
smooth transition to "Cluster" prefix as it seems more appropriate.
At present, cluster recovery process consists of following steps:
1. ClusterController clusterWatchDatabase actor recruits
master/sequencer process.
2. Sequencer process implements the cluster recovery state machine,
responsible to recruit all other processes as well restore the
cluster state.
Patch proposes a scheme where the cluster recovery state machine
is implemented and driven by the ClusterController process instead
of the Sequencer process.
Advantages of the scheme could be:
1. Simplified design where ClusterController recruits "sequencer"
process like other worker processes compared to current scheme
where "sequencer" process gets special treatment. In newer scheme
sequencer is responsible for maintaining/providing
"committed version" (as expected).
2. ClusterController is responsible for worker processes recruitment,
the sequencer though orchestrating the recovery state machine, it
need to reachout to the ClusterController for recruiting worker
processes etc.
NOTE:
Patch has moved the recovery state machine code from
'sequencer' -> 'cluster-controller' process, however, necessary
updates were done for both functionality as well as performance
improvement reasons.
Next Steps:
Cluster recovery documentation will be updated in near future.
This is needed so that private mutation tags are propagated from Resolvers to
commit proxies. Otherwise, the master's VV won't be correct and can cause data
corruptions.
This is needed to make sure all Resolvers process all metadata mutations.
For commit proxy, we add all read/write conflict ranges for metadata mutations
to all resolvers.
We also send lock_aware flag for each transaction to resolvers.
This is to make sure all Resolvers process them and make the same decision,
as well as maintain the same in-memory states, e.g., keyServers, serverKeys.
