'tahoe backup'. (#1241)

connects directly to the WAPI instead of going through an HTTP
proxy, thus avoiding giving caps to the HTTP proxy (and also
avoiding failures in the case that the HTTP proxy is failing or
requires authentication). (#1253)
- The CLI now correctly reports failure in the case that 'tahoe mv' fails to
unlink the file from its old location. (#1255)

the proxy is failing or requires authentication). (#1253)

from source, even if the source version has a higher version number . (#1233)

high version number is available, instead of attempting to compile
the dependency from source, even if the source version has a higher
version number. (#1233)
