Simplify dependencies wrt chia.server

[richardkiss]

As part of the project with tach to remove cyclic dependencies, this PR removes many cyclic dependencies that include chia.server: chia.XX where XX is one of farmer, simulator, full_node, harvester, introducer, wallet, apis, seeder, timelord, data_layer. So it's a lot, but it's mostly just one trick repeated multiple times.

It also requires adding some dependencies, and yes, introducing a new cycle with chia.apis. But this one we can now target with a laser focus since it's so small (one file with just one entry: ApiProtocolRegistry.

Pull Request Overview

This PR simplifies dependencies related to chia.server by removing cyclic dependencies that include chia.server and multiple modules (farmer, simulator, full_node, harvester, introducer, wallet, apis, seeder, timelord, data_layer). The changes move service definitions from a centralized chia.server.aliases file to individual module-specific files and update entry points to reference the new locations.

• Removes cyclic dependencies between chia.server and various service modules
• Relocates service type definitions from centralized aliases to module-specific files
• Updates entry points in pyproject.toml to point to service-specific modules

just a note along the way here, the start_*.py files are all very similar and ought to be deduped at some point. the only relevance here is that they are being moved further away from each other which makes it easier to forget and have them diverge. no action requested on this point.

I agree. I looked at this a few year ago and was very frustrated by the subtle divergences and didn't have the courage at the time to try to resolve it.

looks good. and I also want to remind everyone that we don't treat chia-blockchain as a "library" with a stable API, and this is an example of that.
