* Problem: RethinkDB, change feed, old mongo, admin interface are not supported any longer.
Solution: Remove unsupported functionality. Bring the MongoDB backend implementation completely to the localmongodb package. Fix the test setup.
* Problem: Nothing depends on multipipes any longer.
Solution: Remove multipipes from setup.py.
* Problem: The how-to-run-tests doc uses --database-backend.
Solution: Do not include the --database-backend option into the documented pytest usage.
* Problem: The backends docs are outdated.
Solution: Document MongoDB as the default and only backend for BigchainDB.
* Problem: The inputs fixtures uses old blocks API.
Solution: Change the inputs fixtures to use the new blocks API.
* Problem: rethinkdb package is not used anymore.
Solution: Remove the rethinkdb dependency from setup.py.
* Problem: The abci-marked tests use outdated Mongo conn.
Solution: Replace MongoDBConnection with LocalMongoDBConnection for them.
* Problem: Amount error is not tested on the HTTP level.
Solution: A failed web test to reproduce the problem.
* Problem: Invalid transaction posted to Tendermint
Solution: Pass the exception to HTTP POST handler function
* Problem: DoubleSpend and CriticalDoubleSpend not differentiated
Solution: Handle these exceptions differently in `get_spent`
* Problem: No test for checking exception DoubleSpend and CriticalDoubleSpend
Solution: Add necessary tests
* Problem: find doesn't raise IndexError
Solution: Remove exception handling for IndexError
* Remove asset.validate_asset and move its validation checks to other areas
* Move Asset.get_asset_id to Transaction
* Remove Asset and AssetLink models
* Add test against creating TRANSFER transactions with bad asset
* Allow AssetLinks to be used in place of Assets in the Transaction Model and enforce `Transaction.transfer()` to only take an AssetLink
* Remove AssetLink's inheritance from Asset
* Remove id from the Asset model
* Fix get_txids_by_asset_id query for rethinkdb after removing asset's uuid
Because `CREATE` transactions don't have an asset that contains an id
anymore, one way to find all the transactions related to an asset is to
query the database twice: once for the `CREATE` transaction and another
for the `TRANSFER` transactions.
* Add TODO notice for vote test utils to be fixtures
* Update asset model documentation to reflect usage of transaction id
* Fix outdated asset description in transaction schema
