Brian Warner
25bee8ade6 update NEWS and other docs in preparation for 1.8.0rc1
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.

496802420e Fix handling of correctly encoded unicode filenames (#534)
Tahoe CLI commands working on local files, for instance 'tahoe cp' or 'tahoe
backup', have been improved to correctly handle filenames containing non-ASCII
characters.
  
In the case where Tahoe encounters a filename which cannot be decoded using the
system encoding, an error will be returned and the operation will fail.  Under
Linux, this typically happens when the filesystem contains filenames encoded
with another encoding, for instance latin1, than the system locale, for
instance UTF-8.  In such case, you'll need to fix your system with tools such
as 'convmv' before using Tahoe CLI.
  
All CLI commands have been improved to support non-ASCII parameters such as
filenames and aliases on all supported Operating Systems except Windows as of
now.

a1fa80fc0c docs: install.html -> quickstart.html
It is not called "installing" because that implies that it is going to change the configuration of your operating system. It is not called "building" because that implies that you need developer tools like a compiler. Also I added a stern warning against looking at the "InstallDetails" wiki page, which I have renamed to "AdvancedInstall".

768c76aa5f webapi: use t=mkdir-with-children instead of a children= arg to t=mkdir .
This is safer: in the earlier API, an old webapi server would silently ignore
the initial children, and clients trying to set them would have to fetch the
newly-created directory to discover the incompatibility. In the new API,
clients using t=mkdir-with-children against an old webapi server will get a
clear error.

Brian Warner
ef1b6ae8e3 Tolerate unknown URI types in directory structures. Part of #683.
The idea is that future versions of Tahoe will add new URI types that this
version won't recognize, but might store them in directories that we *can*
read. We should handle these "objects from the future" as best we can.
Previous releases of Tahoe would just explode. With this change, we'll
continue to be able to work with everything else in the directory.

The code change is to wrap anything we don't recognize as an UnknownNode
instance (as opposed to a FileNode or DirectoryNode). Then webapi knows how
to render these (mostly by leaving fields blank), deep-check knows to skip
over them, deep-stats counts them in "count-unknown". You can rename and
delete these things, but you can't add new ones (because we wouldn't know how
to generate a readcap to put into the dirnode's rocap slot, and because this
lets us catch typos better).
