Context
Minows was developed by @XioZ and @ineiti as a more robust Mino implementation than MinoGRPC.
However, Minows currently lacks the security features needed to fully replace MinoGRPC, including a secure mechanism to connect nodes (the first time) based on secret tokens, and certificate-based node authentication.
Refer to the MinoGRPC server tests to see the expected functionality regarding joins, cert chains and tokens.
Outcomes
When this is implemented, minogrpc can be deprecated and replaced in all use cases.
We will then be able to close tickets #150, #170, #180, #218 and #220.
