The practice of buffering to a tempfile during a pushing contributes massively
to slow V2 push performance perception. The protocol was actually designed to
avoid precalculation, supporting cut-through data push. This means we can
assemble the layer, calculate its digest and push to the remote endpoint, all
at the same time.
This should increase performance massively on systems with slow disks or IO
bottlenecks.

Some structures use int for sizes and UNIX timestamps. On some
platforms, int is 32 bits, so this can lead to the year 2038 issues and
overflows when dealing with large containers or layers.
Consistently use int64 to store sizes and UNIX timestamps in
api/types/types.go. Update related to code accordingly (i.e.
strconv.FormatInt instead of strconv.Itoa).
Use int64 in progressreader package to avoid integer overflow when
dealing with large quantities. Update related code accordingly.
