update NEWS and other docs in preparation for 1.8.0rc1

Browse Source 
in particular, merge the various 1.8.0b1/b2 sections, and remove the
datestamp. NEWS gets updated just before a release, doesn't need to precisely
describe pre-release candidates, and the datestamp gets updated just before
the final release is tagged

Also, I removed the BOM from some files. My toolchain made it hard to retain,
and BOMs in UTF-8 don't make a whole lot of sense anyway. Sorry if that
messes anything up.

* Release 1.8.0β2 (2010-08-06)
** Bugfixes
- Fix an incompatibility of release 1.8.0β with node directories
created by other Tahoe-LAFS versions. (#1159)
- Partial GET requests using the Range header were not handled
correctly by the new downloader. (#1154)
- Restore compatibility of test suite with Python 2.4.x.
* Release 1.8.0β (2010-08-02)
Note: the 1.8.0β release should not be used, because node directories
that it creates (using 'tahoe create-*' commands) will not work with
other releases, and vice-versa.
* Release 1.8.0 (?)
** New Features
- A completely new downloader which improves performance and
robustness of downloads. It automatically fails over to alternate
servers if the servers that it is using fail or become too slow in
mid-download. It also minimizes unnecessary round trips and
unnecessary bytes transferred to improve performance. (#798, #800,
#990)

Windows. In addition, the command-line tool now works on 64-bit
Windows. (#1074)

The current stable release of Tahoe-LAFS is v1.7.1, which was
released July 18, 2010 [1].
v1.8.0β2 is the second beta release of major new improvements,
including fast and fault-tolerant downloads and better Windows
support. See the NEWS file [2] for details. It corrects regressions
in compatibility with other versions, and in downloads using the
Range header, that were introduced in v1.8.0β. If no further
regressions or critical bugs are discovered, we will release a
functionally identical v1.8.0 final version on approximately
August 15, 2010.
