key_generator: remove poll timeouts from test
...
the timeouts on uses of 'poll' were there purely to make sure a test doesn't
poll indefinitely. however having such timeouts makes tests susceptible
to premature timeouts under high load, or on slow machines. (e.g. cygwin
slaves running in virtual machines on loaded hosts)
purportedly trial by default applies a timeout to tests to prevent them
hanging out indefinitely, so these poll timeouts are redundant and cause
intermittent failures on slow hosts. hence they're more bother than they're
worth, and should be culled.

key_generator: up timeouts on keygen test
...
in both these cases, the timeout only serves to abort a stuck test, and
the key_generator should respond more quickly, but seeing test failures
in buildbot on some platforms suggests that the test is too susceptible
to timing issues on loaded buildslaves.

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.

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.

This removes the guess-partial-information attack vector, and reduces
the amount of overhead that we consume with each file. It also introduces
a forwards-compability break: older versions of the code (before the
previous download-time "make hashes optional" patch) will be unable
to read files uploaded by this version, as they will complain about the
missing hashes. This patch is experimental, and is being pushed into

use added secret to protect convergent encryption
...
Now upload or encode methods take a required argument named "convergence" which can be either None, indicating no convergent encryption at all, or a string, which is the "added secret" to be mixed in to the content hash key. If you want traditional convergent encryption behavior, set the added secret to be the empty string.
This patch also renames "content hash key" to "convergent encryption" in a argument names and variable names. (A different and larger renaming is needed in order to clarify that Tahoe supports immutable files which are not encrypted content-hash-key a.k.a. convergent encryption.)
This patch also changes a few unit tests to use non-convergent encryption, because it doesn't matter for what they are testing and non-convergent encryption is slightly faster.

use base62 encoding for storage indexes, on disk and in verifier caps, and in logging and diagnostic tools
...
base62 encoding fits more information into alphanumeric chars while avoiding the troublesome non-alphanumeric chars of base64 encoding. In particular, this allows us to work around the ext3 "32,000 entries in a directory" limit while retaining the convenient property that the intermediate directory names are leading prefixes of the storage index file names.
