Martin Krasser cdeea924ff akka-persistence prototype
The most prominent changes compared to eventsourced are:

- No central processor and channel registry any more
- Auto-recovery of processors on start and restart (can be disabled)
- Recovery of processor networks doesn't require coordination
- Explicit channel activation not needed any more
- Message sequence numbers generated per processor (no gaps)
- Sender references are journaled along with messages
- Processors can determine their recovery status
- No custom API on extension object, only messages
- Journal created by extension from config, not by application
- Applications only interact with processors and channels via messages
- Internal design prepared for having processor-specific journal actors (for later optimization possibilities)

Further additions and changes during review:

- Allow processor implementation classes to use inherited stash
- Channel support to resolve (potentially invalid) sender references
- Logical intead of physical deletion of messages
- Pinned dispatcher for LevelDB journal
- Processor can handle failures during recovery
- Message renamed to Persistent

This prototype has the following limitations:

- Serialization of persistent messages and their payload via JavaSerializer only (will be configurable later)
- The LevelDB journal implementation based on a LevelDB Java port, not the native LevelDB (will be configurable later)

The following features will be added later using separate tickets:

- Snapshot-based recovery
- Reliable channels
- Journal plugin API
- Optimizations
