add get_available_space() to NativeStorageServer
It uses a new 'available-space' key in the server's v1 version dict, or falls
back to 'maximum-immutable-share-size' (which presently always has the same
value but could have a different meaning in the future).
This is a squash merge of 9773555bb87fab71145ad7a0e84785a4e92d11f7
This introduces new client and server halves to the Introducer (renaming the
old one with a _V1 suffix). Both have fallbacks to accomodate talking to a
different version: the publishing client switches on whether the server's
.get_version() advertises V2 support, the server switches on which
subscription method was invoked by the subscribing client.
The V2 protocol sends a three-tuple of (serialized announcement dictionary,
signature, pubkey) for each announcement. The V2 server dispatches messages
to subscribers according to the service-name, and throws errors for invalid
signatures, but does not otherwise examine the messages. The V2 receiver's
subscription callback will receive a (serverid, ann_dict) pair. The
'serverid' will be equal to the pubkey if all of the following are true:
the originating client is V2, and was told a privkey to use
the announcement went through a V2 server
the signature is valid
If not, 'serverid' will be equal to the tubid portion of the announced FURL,
as was the case for V1 receivers.
Servers will create a keypair if one does not exist yet, stored in
private/server.privkey .
The signed announcement dictionary puts the server FURL in a key named
"anonymous-storage-FURL", which anticipates upcoming Accounting-related
changes in the server advertisements. It also provides a key named
"permutation-seed-base32" to tell clients what permutation seed to use. This
is computed at startup, using tubid if there are existing shares, otherwise
the pubkey, to retain share-order compatibility for existing servers.
* storage server ignores requests to extend shares by sending a new_length
* storage server fills exposed holes (created by sending a write vector whose offset begins after the end of the current data) with 0 to avoid "palimpsest" exposure of previous contents
* storage server zeroes out lease info at the old location when moving it to a new location
ref. #1528
Declare explicitly that we prevent this problem in the server's version dict.
fixes#1528 (there are two patches that are each a sufficient fix to #1528 and this is one of them)
We're removing this function because it is currently unused, because it is dangerous, and because the bug described in #1528 leaks the cancellation secret, which allows anyone who knows a file's storage index to abuse this function to delete shares of that file.

interfaces.py: modified the return type of RIStatsProvider.get_stats to allow for None as a return value
NEWS.rst, stats.py: documentation of change to get_latencies
stats.rst: now documents percentile modification in get_latencies
test_storage.py: test_latencies now expects None in output categories that contain too few samples for the associated percentile to be unambiguously reported.
