This controls whether a node's web server should provide "ambient"
upload/create authority by controlling whether it responds to PUT and
POST requests that do not contain a cap -- i.e. those for uploading
new unlinked files and creating new unlinked directories. If set to

False, a node will instead refuse these requests, returning an HTTP

on files and directories that already exist, since all of these operations
require the presentation of a cap.
