* Problem: Source files contain no license info
Solution: Add comments with SPDX license info to source files
* Python 3 files don't need # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
Solution: In the docs page listing the Community-Driven Libraries and Tools, make it clear that they might not work with the latest version of BigchainDB. Make it a warning rather than a note.
* Problem: Need a method to initiate a new upsert-validator election
Solution: Added subcommand `new` to `upsert_validator`
* Problem: Changes to upsert-validator needed to be reflected in the docs
Solution: Wrote a section for `upsert-validator new`

- Add a note that one can use `asset?search` or `asset/?search`, and the same for metadata.
* Problem: Docs should say more about how to handle privacy & private data
Solution: Write a new docs page about that
* Problem: Server docs say little re/ prod. node security & privacy
Solution: Create a new docs page, "Production Node Security & Privacy"
* Address initial comments from @gautamdhameja
* Problem: core.py contains an unused class, `Bigchain`

* Updating from master changed BigchainDB.process_post_response to a private method, so I had to align with that.
* Fixed a couple stale references to bigchaindb.Bigchain in docstrings
* Missed a reference to `Bigchain` in a patch call...
* Problem: BigchainDB class should be part of project root
Solution: Removed the /tendermint directory and moved its contents to project root
* Problem: Flake8 complained that imports were not at the top of the file
Solution: Had to play around with the order of imports to avoid cyclic dependencies, but its working and style compliant now
* Problem: Stale reference to /tendermint directory in the index
Solution: Removed the references to /tendermint
* Problem: Flake8 complaining of unused import in __init__.py
Solution: The import is there so I can import App directly from bigchaindb, rather than from bigchaindb.core (which I think improves code readability. I added a # noqa to silence Flake8.

* Missed some conflicts
* Make changes in tendermint/lib.py instead of deprecated core.py
- Also remove redundant info from docs about default values
* Fix docsserver automethod
Solution: Remove the current pub/sub based logging infra as this model is no longer necessary. This can now be replaced by a simple system level logging config.
* Copyedit simple-network-setup completeness & grammar
* Problem: Member doesn't know their BigchainDB Root URL
Solution: Add a section to tell the Member their BigchainDB Root URL
* Problem: Operator doesn't know how to reset their node
Solution: Add a section with commands an operator can use to reset their node
* Problem: Repeated previous sentence w/o changing it
Solution: Repeat previous sentence but change 'BigchainDB' to 'Tendermint' and delete the parenthetical sentence about MongoDB

Solution
As per Tendermint 0.16.0 , --p2p.seeds is now --p2p.persistent_peers. Update bigchaindb/tendermint container to use that configuration. Also disable --p2p.pex, we currently don't want the peer exchange.
Solution
Since BigchainDB and Tendermint are so tightly coupled we need to introduce a process supervisor to make them act like a single microservice, so that if BigchainDB crashes, Tendermint does as well and both are restarted and Tendermint requests a connection towards the proxy app.
In Kubernetes, they can be exposed as part of a one POD.
For BigchainDB as a system service/process, we need to introduce a process supervisor such as systemd.
This PR only solves the former.
Changes
Upgrade deployment from Tendermint v0.12.0 to v0.19.0
Update some documentation
Fix nginx-http entrypoint issues.
Update generate-configs.sh script to handle config generation without https-certificates.
Update Dockerfile to process dependency links introduced by abci
Integrate BigchainDB and Tendermint as a single microservice.
This required making BigchainDB to be exposed as a statefulset.
Introduce new liveness probe checks.
Issues Resolved
Partially fixes#2232
Solution: update the documentation to reflect this. I've also removed
the documentation about the event plugin API. That part needs to be
refactored to work properly with BigchainDB 2.0. We can reintroduce it
later.
* Problem: Multi-threading not configured
Solution: Auto-generate multi-threading config with default threads and workers set to 1
* Problem: Documentation not updated for multi-threading
Solution: Updated necessary docs
