Update ledger replication chapter ( #2029 )
...
* ledger block -> ledger segment
The book already defines a *block* to be a slight variation of
how block-based changes define it. It's the thing the cluster
confirms should be the next set of transactions on the ledger.

Reorg programming model to be more top-down
...
First explain how a client interacts with existing programs and why
you'd do that. Next, mention that users can contribute their own programs.
Then explain how those programs can be written in any language.
Finally, mention persistent storage, which is only needed by
stateful programs.

Rewrite programming model with developer focus
...
Previous version talked about concurrency, which is described
in detail in the Anatomy of a Fullnode chapter. App developers
probably don't care that their programs run in parallel with
other programs. From their perspective, there's no difference
between 10x parallelism and a 10x faster CPU.
