[Bedrock/IPNI] [Monitoring of other indexer instances]

Description:
This milestone is part of the [Bedrock/IPNI] Roadmap #1.

Objectives:

[We should know if partner indexes are "good enough" to provide to clients]

Key Deliverables:

[STI Implementation that tells you how far 2 indexers are from a given reference implementation - walks the advertisement chain and reports most recent CID in chain relative to reference instance]

[TorfinnOlsen]

Monitoring of other indexer instances put indefinitely on hold until more performant IPNI implementation can be deployed to operators.

Most operators are currently running a key value store database type behind, and during Q2 we discovered that we would be changing our key value store. As a result saving the operators from updating will spare them an entire database migration. We will be looking to test the new database type with one operator in Q3 before rolling it out to all the other instances.
