Title: Directory gossip protocol

Tony,

Here is the first submittable version of the gossip protocol for node registration and global data distribution. Per our discussion on the mailing list, I made the directory use the gossip protocol by default, and modified the adapters accordingly.

I made the gossip protocol available to use for data distribution as well, though not the default. Some of the modifications in node_manager.rb will be cleaner once a native protocol is in place for that as well.

Let me know if you'd like to see any changes.
