We use it for two things: to create the foolscap connection handler, and
to possibly start an .onion listener at startup.
This also updates node._common_config_sections to accept the new tor
settings written by create-node/create-introducer.
This adds tor-related CLI arguments to "create-node" and
"create-introducer", to control exactly how we should be using Tor.
* --tor-launch
* --tor-executable=
* --tor-control-port=
I went with "--tor-launch" instead of "--launch-tor" for consistency. I
don't particularly like the grammatical flow of it, and it doesn't
actually put all the tor-related arguments next to each other in the
--help output (the flags are put in one block, then the parameters in
the next). But it seems slightly more consistent to start all the
tor-related argument names with a "--tor*" prefix.
This uses a unix-domain control port, and includes test coverage.
create_onion() displays pacifier messages, since the allocate-onion step
takes around 35 seconds
This puts the right inlineCallbacks in place to allow
write_node_config() to return a Deferred. The upcoming Tor support will
need this (since it must wait for an .onion address to be allocated
before it can write tahoe.cfg's tub.port and tub.location lines).
which uses SHA1 to combine the file's storage index (known as "peer
selection index" in this context) and each server's "server permutation
seed". This is the only thing in tahoe that uses SHA1.
With this change, we stop importing sha1 from anywhere else.
I think the preferred way to listen on both IPv4 and IPv6 will be to use
"--port=tcp:PORT,tcp6:PORT". This is now reflected in the docs.

This enables an I2P-only node, which disables TCP entirely (instead of
mapping TCP to Tor, which was the only other option that
reveal-IP-address=False would allow).

parse_cli() got added during the async-CLI-dispatch work
assertRaises/assertFailure have been in Twisted for a while, but I only
learned about them recently. Over time I'm looking forward to changing
all tahoe tests to use them (and getting rid of ShouldFailMixin/etc).
In addition, CLI functions are allowed to use sys.exit() instead of
always needing to return the exit code as an integer.
runner.py now knows about the blocking httplib calls in scripts/cli and
scripts/magic_folder, and uses deferToThread() to invoke them. Those
functions cannot return a Deferred: when rewrite them to use twisted.web
or treq, we'll remove this deferToThread call.
Option parsing was split out to a separate function for testing. We now
use twisted.internet.task.react() to start the reactor, which required
changing the way runner.py is tested.

The main part of CLITestMixin.do_cli() was split into a standalone
function named run_cli(), leaving do_cli() as a method which includes a
nodedir in the arguments (for use by GridTestMixin tests which do a lot
of CLI operations against one of their client nodes, for which adding
the extra --nodedir argument would be ugly).
These are obsolete. Tests are run with 'tox', or by running 'trial
allmydata' from a populated virtualenv. A populated virtualenv is also
the right way to get a repl: just run 'python'.

So "tahoe create-node --hide-ip" causes "reveal-IP-address = false" to
get written into tahoe.cfg . This also changes the default tahoe.cfg to
include "reveal-IP-address = true", for clarity.

We now use::
tub.port = disabled
tub.location = disabled
instead of using an empty value (but the key still being present, since
if the key is missing entirely, that means "be automatic").

This was triggered when the initial Introducer connection failed, so the
node read the introducer_cache.yaml from disk. That always returns
unicode strings, and the StorageFarmBroker insisted that it's
server-IDs (aka "key_s") were bytestrings.
The tests were extended to exercise the code that loads from disk and
delivers to the StorageFarmBroker, and more preconditions were put in
place to catch this sort of thing earlier next time.

This adds a safety flag named `[node] reveal-IP-address`, for which the
default value is True. When this is set to False, any configuration that
might reveal the node's IP address (to servers, or the external network)
will cause a PrivacyError to be raised at startup, terminating the node
before it gets a chance to betray the user's privacy. It also adds docs
and tests.

This only catches txtorcon not being installed (which should be fixed by
doing `pip install tahoe-lafs[tor]`). It doesn't notice that the Tor
daemon is not running (which we can't detect during startup, only
afterwards, when it's harder to notify the user), in which case Tor
connections (and all connections when "tcp = tor" is enabled) will just
fail silently.
