* Networking: Add BTC adapter process as part of the replica deployment
* Networking: Removes the registry version argument when stopping a connection.
* Node: Ensure GuestOS is being restarted on-crash
* Node: Open temporary file for crash-safe I/O in exclusive mode
* Node: Set umask for replica process
* Orchestrator: Check for un-assignment on the newest CUP
* Orchestrator: Extract RegistryReplicator to its own crate
* Orchestrator: Make RegistryReplicator take node_id optionally
