Description

As suggested by @whyrusleeping in #4757

Current pin system has several problems, as I see them:

- Pins are stored in elaborate way in blockstore, enabling whole world to sniff your pins and introducing great deal of complexity to code like internal pins and global pin locking
- Pins are unnamed, so you can't structure/review them easily

Suggestions & reviews are welcome

My proposed PR (WIP): #4757
Another option: #4675
