Make discovery ttl and heartbeat configurable 

Docker daemon uses kv-store as the host-discovery backend.
Discovery module tracks the liveness of a node through a simple
keepalive mechanism.  The keepalive mechanism depends on every
node performing heartbeat by registering itself with the discovery
module (via KV-Store Put operation). And for every Put operation,
the discovery module in all other nodes will receive a Watch
notification. That keeps the node alive.
Any node that fails to register itself within the TTL timer is
considered dead and removed from the discovery database.

The default timer (heartbeat = 20 seconds & ttl = 60 seconds)
works fine for small clusters.  But for large clusters, these
default timers are extremely aggressive and that causes high CPU
& most of the processing is spent managing the node discovery
and that impacts normal daemon operation.

Hence we need a way to make the discovery ttl and heartbeat
configurable.  As the cluster size grows, the user can change
these timers to make sure the daemon scales.

The currently supported cluster store options are:
* `discovery.heartbeat`
Specifies the heartbeat timer in seconds which is used by the daemon as a
keepalive mechanism to make sure discovery module treats the node as alive
in the cluster. If not configured, the default value is 20 seconds.
* `discovery.ttl`
Specifies the ttl (time-to-live) in seconds which is used by the discovery
module to timeout a node if a valid heartbeat is not received within the
configured ttl value. If not configured, the default value is 60 seconds.
* `kv.cacertfile`
Specifies the path to a local file with PEM encoded CA certificates to trust
