Title: Choose ushards according to persistent record

The order of nodes in the by_range section of "dbs" documents is now
promoted to the principal order for ushards. Ushards still accounts
for Liveness, selecting the first live replica and still supports
Spread by rotating this list using the CRC32 of the database name
(since many databases will have the same layout).

If by_range and by_node are not symmetrical then by_node is used and
order is undefined to match existing behavior.
