DRAFT: TAP-21 - Scale-out Architecture for High-volume Repositories

[ergonlogic]

Coming from theupdateframework/specification/issues/309, and following discussion at the TUF community meeting on 2024-11-01, we've drafted "TAP-21 - Scale-out Architecture for High-volume Repositories".

This TAP is still very much a "draft". Several sections are currently marked "TBD". Our motivation for a PR at this stage is to validate the motivation and rationale, as well as the calculations we undertook to better understand the issues at hand.

Can you remove the changes to tap1? If they need to be part of a PR, they can be a separate one.

Yes, of course. I was separately experimenting with the idea of turning the headers into YAML front-matter. Not sure how those changes snuck in here.
