* Problem: Validator set not tracked by BigchainDB
Solution: BigchainDB depends on tendermint's RPC API to get the validator set
which is not avaiable during replay so the validators set should be tracked
inside BigchainDB
* Problem: Unclear code and documentation
Solution: Fix decode_validator and docs strings
* Problem: Doc strings missing
Solution: Add doc string for store_validato_set
* 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: Node operator cannot vote on a ValidatorElection
Solution: Implement validator election voting spec
* Problem: Incorrent code comments
Solution: Update comments with correct context
* Problem: Delegated vote not casted back to election
Solution: Update test to cast votes back to election id and assert their validity
* Last PR before the release of BigchainDB 2.0 Beta 5
* Fix editing error
* Change development status back to 4 - beta
* Rephrase some fixes I
* Rephrase some fixes II
* Problem: Stateful validation doesn't raise double spend exception
Solution: Transaction.validate should raise exception DoubleSpend if the given
transaction is already a part of the database
* Problem: Double spend exception message not accurate
Solution: The exception message should state that the double spend is because of
spending the same input more than once in the transaction
Solution: It might be related on how aiohttp 2.x handles `send_str`.
AFAIK the call `send_str` was not "fully async". In aiohttp 3.x they
[changed it][1]:
> send_str(), send_bytes(), send_json(), ping() and pong() are genuine
async functions now. (#2475)
So this patch adds support for aiohttp 3.x, and uses the `send_str`
coroutine.

* Problem: core.py contains an unused class, `Bigchain`
Solution: Remove core.py. Refactor BigchainDB Class to remove inheritance from Bigchain.

* Fixed flake8 complaint about too many blank lines
* Attempting to fix Sphinx docs. This may result in some redundant commits, as I don't know what I'm doing, and I can't experiment without running the CI...
Sorry in advance!

Sorry in advance!
* 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.
* Problem: Stale references to `bigchaindb.tendermint.BigchainDB` in the rst files cause Sphinx to fail
Solution: Updated the autodoc files to use `bigchaindb.BigchainDB` instead
* Problem: Stale reference to the `tendermint` directory in an @patch in a disabled test
Solution: Updated the @patch for completeness

Solution: when a transaction is stored, the system splits it in three
components, data, metadata, and the other fields of the transaction.
When the system retrieves a transaction, it needs to make three
different queries to reconstruct the original transaction. If a
transaction does not exist, the system does three queries anyway, even
if just one query is enough. This patch fixes this by doing the
additional queries if and only if the transaction exists.
* Fixed 2 PEP257 compliance errors
* Upgrade Tendermint to 0.19.7 except for Docker image, which is still at 0.19.2
* Problem: Docs say Crypto Conditions are part of ILP
Solution: Edit the docs so they no longer say that
