We need a way for all nodes to start with the same initial state. #3

At the moment, nodes start with empty state. We need a way to reduce unnecessary data movement between nodes because of initialization overhead.

Ideally, we can have a static method exposed by ShMem which is used to assign initial data a zero timestamp so that we avoid shipping it around among nodes.

Separated ShMem initialization into "Init" and "Start". Anything put into state between calls to Init and State is given a zero timestamp, thus it is not shipped across releases.
