Soledad - Synchronization Of Locally Encrypted Data Among Devices.

Soledad is the part of LEAP that manages storage and synchronization of
application data. It is built on top of U1DB reference Python API and
implements (1) a SQLCipher backend for local storage in the client, (2) a
SyncTarget that encrypts data before syncing, and (3) a CouchDB backend for
remote storage in the server side.

    Soledad provides encrypted data storage and sync.

    A Soledad instance is used to store and retrieve data in a local encrypted
    database and synchronize this database with Soledad server.

    This class is also responsible for bootstrapping users' account by
    creating cryptographic secrets and/or storing/fetching them on Soledad
    server.

    Soledad uses C{leap.common.events} to signal events. The possible events
    to be signaled are:

        SOLEDAD_CREATING_KEYS: emitted during bootstrap sequence when key
            generation starts.
        SOLEDAD_DONE_CREATING_KEYS: emitted during bootstrap sequence when key
            generation finishes.
        SOLEDAD_UPLOADING_KEYS: emitted during bootstrap sequence when soledad
            starts sending keys to server.
        SOLEDAD_DONE_UPLOADING_KEYS: emitted during bootstrap sequence when
            soledad finishes sending keys to server.
        SOLEDAD_DOWNLOADING_KEYS: emitted during bootstrap sequence when
            soledad starts to retrieve keys from server.
        SOLEDAD_DONE_DOWNLOADING_KEYS: emitted during bootstrap sequence when
            soledad finishes downloading keys from server.
        SOLEDAD_NEW_DATA_TO_SYNC: emitted upon call to C{need_sync()} when
          there's indeed new data to be synchronized between local database
          replica and server's replica.
