Replace ACCOUNT_DIFF_PREFERENCES table with Git backend (part1)
Replace the usage of AccountDiffPreference with a different class in
extension API package.
Data is saved optimized in Git backend: default values are discarded
during save operation and restored during read operation; so that
this optimization step is transparent for the callers.
For example when only one setting, theme in this case, differs from
the default value, only this value is written into diff section in
preferences.config file:
+[diff]
+       theme = eclipse
To support live migration, the upgrade is done in two steps:
* part1 (this change):
  o Always write to both git and db
  o Introduce new configuration option to indicate whether to read from
    git or db, initially set to read from db
  o First binary update: some servers are reading/writing just the db;
    some servers are additionally writing to git
  o After first update: all servers are reading from the db, writing to
    both
  o Batch copy data from db to git (only related to non open source
    Gerrit version)
  o Update all servers to read from git. During the update, some will
    still be reading from the db; that's ok, because everybody is
    writing to git
* part2 (next change):
  o Bump database version, migrate the data from db to git, delete the
    table (and the flag) from the code and update the servers.

Gerrit is a code review and project management tool for Git based projects.
Gerrit makes reviews easier by showing changes in a side-by-side display, and allowing inline comments to be added by any reviewer.
Gerrit simplifies Git based project maintainership by permitting any authorized user to submit changes to the master Git repository, rather than requiring all approved changes to be merged in by hand by the project maintainer.
For information about how to install and use Gerrit, refer to the documentation.
Our canonical Git repository is located on googlesource.com. There is a mirror of the repository on Github.
Please report bugs on the issue tracker.
Gerrit is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!
Please read the contribution guidelines.
Note that we do not accept Pull Requests via the Github mirror.
The IRC channel on freenode is #gerrit. An archive is available at: echelog.com.
The Developer Mailing list is repo-discuss on Google Groups.

The instruction how to configure GerritForge/BinTray repositories is here
On Debian/Ubuntu run:

NOTE: release is a counter that starts with 1 and indicates the number of packages that have been released with the same version of the software.
On CentOS/RedHat run:
yum clean all && yum install gerrit-<version>[-<release>]
NOTE: release is optional. Last released package of the version is installed if the release number is omitted.
