doc: architecture.txt: start updating architecture.txt
...
I chose to remove mention of non-convergent encoding, not because I dislike non-convergent encoding, but because that option isn't currently expressed in the API and in order to shorten architecture.txt. I renamed "URI" to "Capability". I did some editing, including updating a few places that treated all capabilities as CHK-capabilities and that mentioned that distributed SSKs were not yet implemented.

extirpate all references the "queen" and "metatracker"
...
This is a potentially disruptive and potentially ugly change to the code base,
because I renamed the object that serves in both roles from "Queen" to
"IntroducerAndVdrive", which is a bit of an ugly name.
However, I think that clarity is important enough in this release to make this
change. All unit tests pass. I'm now darcs recording this patch in order to
pull it to other machines for more testing.
