API for promoting a backend to master

Registered by Alex Meade

If backend A is replicating to backend B and we failover to backend B because A has been destroyed, we need a mechanism to say B is the new master so we can begin replicating to C. Currently this is done by hacking the DB, we should have an admin API to trigger this.
