The anti-entropy tests relied on the side-effect of the StartSync()
method to perform a full sync instead of a partial sync. This lead to
multiple anti-entropy go routines being started unnecessary retry loops.
This change changes the behavior to perform synchronous full syncs when
necessary removing the need for all of the time.Sleep and most of the
retry loops.
The anti-entropy code manages background synchronizations of the local
state on a regular basis or on demand when either the state has changed
or a new consul server has been added.
This patch moves the anti-entropy code into its own package and
decouples it from the local state code since they are performing
two different functions.
To simplify code-review this revision does not make any optimizations,
renames or refactorings. This will happen in subsequent commits.
