[CRDT] peers rm reallocates all CIDs, even though peer will not be removed #842

Additional information:

Describe the bug:

For CRDT consensus, consensus.RmPeer method is a no-op, so ctl peers rm and respective API should be a no-op as well, but it is not.

In cluster method PeerRemove, we assume that peer will be removed and re-allocate all its CIDs to other peers https://github.com/ipfs/ipfs-cluster/blob/b96c2b664d907a1133381d0358b7960dcca0027a/cluster.go#L812-L820

cluster.PeerRemove should not have this side-effect and should be no-op in case of CRDT consensus.

In the case of CRDT consensus, I would expect that ctl peers rm would remove that peer from my trusted peerset and making sure to reallocate any pins that they have.

Hmm this is rough edge, particularly if a follower runs peer rm and triggers repinnings only meaninful to itself. I need some time to think an approach.
