e107e11079 Remove references to the bare "coverage" tox environment
* We stopped using Appveyor a while ago so entirely remove its configuration.
* There's no release step where coverage information is *examined* so why
  collect it?
* Switch GitHub Actions config to py27-coverage tox environment

eb9b44885e simple naming mistake
this must be a different endpoint or it is ambiguous with bucket
interactions.  plus it makes more sense that "place where storage
indexes are" is different from "place where buckets are" although I
am still uncomfortable with the idea that "storage indexes" are things
and not ... indexes ...

097abb42fa tahoe.cfg: add tub.port=listen:i2p (and/or listen:tor)
This delegates the construction of the server Endpoint object to the i2p/tor
Provider, which can use the i2p/tor section of the config file to add options
which would be awkward to express as text in an endpoint descriptor string.

refs ticket:2889 (but note this merely makes room for a function to be
written that can process I2CP options, it does not actually handle such
options, so it does not close this ticket yet)

9375056b61 Split up startstop_node and add 'tahoe daemonize'
This sets the stage for further changes to the startup
process so that "async things" are done before we create
the Client instance while still reporting early failures
to the shell where "tahoe start" is running

Also adds a bunch of test-coverage for the things that got
moved around, even though they didn't have coverage before

This opens a wormhole and sends appropriate JSON down
it to a tahoe-gui using a wormhole server running on

The other end uses the 'tahoe create-node' command (with
new --join option) to read the configuration JSON from
a 'tahoe invite' command

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.

327bef3383 update tor/i2p docs to match current config syntax
This removes the section that describes automatic configuration using
transport-agnostic endpoint-centric tub.port strings. That was the
approach where tub.port used "onion:80:hiddenServiceDir=PATH", and
Foolscap was able to query the generated Listener to find out what
address it was supposed to advertise. We considered this for a long
time, but in the end decided to use a more static approach, where
foolscap/tahoe never try to guess it's location: Tahoe always requires
tub.location= to be set.

When we get automatic configuration implemented, it'll be a simple CLI
argument, something like "tahoe create-server --listen=tor".

Instead, this document now explains how to configure Tor to create the
hidden service, then how to copy the generated .onion address into the
tahoe config.

This also removes a lot of other text that seems irrelevant now, and
refers the user to the tahoe.cfg docs (configuration.rst) instead of
including all the `[tor]`/`[i2p]` docs inline.

a099b9237d tor: socks.port is now a (restricted) endpoint string
Foolscap has limitations that prevent us from accepting anything but a
TCP endpoint, but that will change in the future, so make the tahoe.cfg
syntax accept an endpoint, but then reject non-TCP ones. See the ticket
for details: refs ticket:2813.

This depends upon the new `foolscap.connections.tor.socks_port(host,
port)` API in foolscap-0.12.2, so it bumps the dependency to that (the
previous commit depended upon 0.12.1, but I hadn't gotten around to
updating the dep before now).

cf5b02b487 clean up tub.port processing, reject tcp:0
This is the first step towards making node startup be synchronous: the
tub.port is entirely determined (including any TCP port allocation that
might be necessary) before creating the Tub, so the portnumber part of
FURLs can be determined earlier.

8279d919f3 remove "manhole" (ssh-accessible REPL)
This little-used debugging feature allowed you to SSH or Telnet "into" a
Tahoe node, and get an interactive Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL) that
executed inside the context of the running process. The SSH
authentication code used a deprecated feature of Twisted, this code had
no unit-test coverage, and I haven't personally used it in at least 6
years (despite writing it in the first place). Time to go.

Also experiment with a Twisted-style "topfiles/" directory of NEWS
fragments. The idea is that we require all user-visible changes to
include a file or two (named as $TICKETNUM.$TYPE), and then run a script
to generate NEWS during the release process, instead of having a human
scan the commit logs and summarize the changes long after they landed.

Closes ticket:2367

virtualenv.

000c148ad8 drop Python 2.6 (.travis.yml, doc, setup.py)
Twisted 15 dropped support for it, which causes Travis CI tests to fail on 2.6.
We still theoretically support older versions of Twisted, so perhaps we should
configure Travis to test with those? I think we should drop Python 2.6 in any
case since distros are all on 2.7 now.

I'm leaving Travis running (and ignoring) the failing PyPy tests because I
don't know why that is there.
