Add dirnodes to backupdb and "tahoe backup", closes #606 .
...
* backups now share dirnodes with any previous backup, in any location,

* "tahoe backup" no longer bothers reading the previous snapshot

to force new uploads of all files and directories

* change t=mkdir-with-children to not use multipart/form encoding. Instead,
the request body is all JSON. t=mkdir-immutable uses this format too.
* make nodemaker.create_immutable_dirnode() get convergence from SecretHolder,
but let callers override it
* raise NotDeepImmutableError instead of using assert()
* add mutable= argument to DirectoryNode.create_subdirectory(), default True

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.

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).
