Summary:
On the master cleanups are hooked directly into the transaction engine.
This is beneficial because the master might have bigger caches and we
want to clear them as soon as possible.
On the workers there is a periodic RPC call to the master about living
transactions, which takes care of releasing local caches. This is
suboptimal because long transactions will prevent cache GC (like with
data GC). It is however fairly simple.
Note that all cleanup is not done automatically and `RemotePull` has
been reduced accordingly. @msantl, please verify correctness and
consider if the code can be additionally simplified.

Summary:
The current idea is that the same MG binary can be used for single-node,
distributed master and distributed worker. The transactional engine in
the single-node and distributed master is the same: it determines the
transactional time and exposes all the "global" functionalities. In the
distributed worker the "global" functions must contact the master.

Summary:
This diff contains step 1:
- Remove clog exposure from tx::engine
- Reduce and cleanup tx::Engine API
All current functionality is kept, but the API is reduced. This is very
desirable because every function in tx::Engine will need to be
considered and implemented in both Master and Worker situations. The
less we have, the better.
Next step is exactly that: seeing how each of these functions behaves in
a distributed system and implementing accordingly.

Summary:
My dear fellow Memgraphians. It's friday afternoon, and I am as ready to pop as WAL is to get reviewed...
What's done:
- Vertices and Edges have global IDs, stored in `VersionList`. Main storage is now a concurrent map ID->vlist_ptr.
- WriteAheadLog class added. It's based around buffering WAL::Op objects (elementraly DB changes) and periodically serializing and flusing them to disk.
- Snapshot recovery refactored, WAL recovery added. Snapshot format changed again to include necessary info.
- Durability testing completely reworked.
What's not done (and should be when we decide how):
- Old WAL file purging.
- Config refactor (naming and organization). Will do when we discuss what we want.
- Changelog and new feature documentation (both depending on the point above).
- Better error handling and recovery feedback. Currently it's all returning bools, which is not fine-grained enough (neither for errors nor partial successes, also EOF is reported as a failure at the moment).
- Moving the implementation of WAL stuff to .cpp where possible.
- Not sure if there are transactions being created outside of `GraphDbAccessor` and it's `BuildIndex`. Need to look into.
- True write-ahead logic (flag controlled): not committing a DB transaction if the WAL has not flushed it's data. We can discuss the gain/effort ratio for this feature.

Summary:
- GC changed to evaluate old records w.r.t. the oldest transaction's id AND snapshot, as opposed to only id
- MVCC hints exp+aborted race condition prevented
- minor MVCC refactors and cleanups
- minor Transaction refactors and cleanups

Summary:
The rest of core engine exceptions are extended from the BasicException (because of the error handling in the communication stack). Maximum value of the MVCC command id is calculated in the compile time.
I've put the tasks to implement concurrent tests in the qa repo in the backlog. Hopefully they will be implemented within this sprint.
