Migrate to github.com/TheThingsNetwork/api

[htdvisser]

We currently use github.com/TheThingsNetwork/ttn/api, but this is being moved to github.com/TheThingsNetwork/api.

In the process we are making some changes to the generated Go code in the new api package:

• Id is renamed to ID
• Eui is renamed to EUI
• Some fields are now marked as non-nullable

Please report any other improvements in https://github.com/TheThingsNetwork/api/issues

As far as I understand, packages like api/stats and api/ratelimit are not moved, or are they? Please specify concrete packages being moved

The packages that contain .proto files, as well as the fields package (renamed to logfields)

.
├── broker
├── discovery
├── gateway
├── handler
├── logfields
├── monitor
├── networkserver
├── protocol

├── router
└── trace

what should happen with the Clients, i.e. monitor.Client ? I see they are not moved. Should we leave them in the same packages they are in now?

[htdvisser]

There are a number of things that will have to be moved to the new API package:

• Convenience functions (for example *DeduplicatedUplinkMessage.InitResponseTemplate())
• Some implementations (for example in trace)

There are a number of things that will need a new place somewhere else:

• Message/Payload (un)marshaling
• Reference Servers
• Stream clients
• Stream servers
• gRPC Client Pool
• Ratelimiting
• stats

Or have to be removed completely:

• Discovery client "overlay"
• Handler Manager client "overlay"

I will take care of that also then

Great! Nice to finally clean this mess up 😄
