30eaaa7862 key_generator: fix timing, make tests more robust
previously there was an edge case in the timing of expected behaviour
of the key_generator (w.r.t. the refresh delay and twisted/foolscap
delivery).  if it took >6s for a key to be generated, then it was 
possible for the pool refresh delay to transpire _during_ the 
synchronous creation of a key in remote_get_rsa_key_pair.  this could
lead to the timer elapsing during key creation and hence the pool
being refilled before control returned to the client.

this change ensures that the time window from a get key request
until the key gen reactor blocks to refill the pool is the time
since a request was answered, not since a request was asked.
this causes the behaviour to match expectations, as embodied in
test_keygen, even if the delay window is dropped to 0.1s

1ae2c39862 key_generator: service related cleanups, incorporation into system test
this cleans up KeyGenerator to be a service (a subservice of the
KeyGeneratorService as instantiated by the key-generator.tac app)
this means that the timer which replenishes the keypool will be
shutdown cleanly when the service is stopped.

adds checks on the key_generator service and client into the system
test 'test_mutable' such that one of the nodes (clients[3]) uses
the key_generator service, and checks that mutable file creation
in that node, via a variety of means, are all consuming keys from
the key_generator.

5578559b85 added offloaded key generation
this adds a new service to pre-generate RSA key pairs.  This allows
the expensive (i.e. slow) key generation to be placed into a process
outside the node, so that the node's reactor will not block when it
needs a key pair, but instead can retrieve them from a pool of already
generated key pairs in the key-generator service.

it adds a tahoe create-key-generator command which initialises an 
empty dir with a tahoe-key-generator.tac file which can then be run
via twistd.  it stashes its .pem and portnum for furl stability and
writes the furl of the key gen service to key_generator.furl, also
printing it to stdout.

by placing a key_generator.furl file into the nodes config directory
(e.g. ~/.tahoe) a node will attempt to connect to such a service, and
will use that when creating mutable files (i.e. directories) whenever
possible.  if the keygen service is unavailable, it will perform the
key generation locally instead, as before.
