Description
# Background
See https://github.com/HenrikBengtsson/future/issues/382. This is specifically for `cluster` futures, which is the only remaining class of futures where `persistent` may be used.
# Roadmap
* [ ] Provide a convenient mechanism for "sticky" globals, cf. https://github.com/HenrikBengtsson/future/issues/382#issuecomment-659544519
* [ ] Give people time to adopt sticky globals
* [ ] Formally deprecate `persistent=TRUE` with a warning message that refers to instructions on how to use sticky globals.
PS. Should "sticky globals" simply be called "persistent globals"?
