Description

This issue is the umbrella issue tracking the effort to add namespace to FDB code base. Idea is that with namespace in place, code would be much easier to read and understand at the call site. The coupling between different parts of the system would be easier to be seen and understood. Also this can help with potential symbol collisions.

Research direction
This is an umbrella issue for adding namespaces to FoundationDB's actor files. Start by identifying the relevant actor files in the repository, then propose a naming convention and namespace structure. Examine existing C++ namespaces usage in the codebase for consistency. There are no linked PRs, so the first step is to discuss and plan the implementation in the issue comments.
