With the introduction of networkdb, the node discovery events were not
sent to the drivers. This commit generates the node discovery events and
sents it to the drivers interested in it.

Currently if there is any transient gossip failure in any node the
recoevry process depends on other nodes propogating the information
indirectly. In cases if these transient failures affects all the nodes
that this node has in its memberlist then this node will be permenantly
cutoff from the the gossip channel. Added node state management code in
networkdb to address these problems by trying to rejoin the cluster via
the failed nodes when there is a failure. This also necessitates the
need to add new messages called node event messages to differentiate
between node leave and node failure.

When a node goes away purge all the network attachments from the node
and make sure we don't attempt bulk syncing to that node once removed.

Network DB is a network scoped gossip database built
on top of hashicorp/memberlist providing an eventually
consistent state store.
It limits the scope of the gossip and periodic bulk syncing
for table entries to only the nodes which participate in the
network to which the gossip belongs. This designs make the
gossip layer scale better and only consumes resources for the
network state that the node participates in.
Since the complete state for a network is maintained by all nodes
participating in the network, all nodes will eventually converge
to the same state.
NetworkDB also provides facilities for the users of the package to
watch on any table (or all tables) and get notified if there are
state changes of interest that happened anywhere in the cluster when
that state change eventually finds it's way to the watcher's node.
