These changes are a work-in-progress -- there are many incomplete and incorrect parts, but the install.html and running.html files
are complete and should work (and they are delightfully concise!). I'm pushing this just to let people see incremental progress
and to solicit feedback. "Testing out" the install.html and running.html files and submitting patches or bug reports would be
quite welcome.

decentralized directories: integration and testing
...
* use new decentralized directories everywhere instead of old centralized directories
* provide UI to them through the web server
* provide UI to them through the CLI
* update unit tests to simulate decentralized mutable directories in order to test other components that rely on them
* remove the notion of a "vdrive server" and a client thereof
* remove the notion of a "public vdrive", which was a directory that was centrally published/subscribed automatically by the tahoe node (you can accomplish this manually by making a directory and posting the URL to it on your web site, for example)
* add a notion of "wait_for_numpeers" when you need to publish data to peers, which is how many peers should be attached before you start. The default is 1.
* add __repr__ for filesystem nodes (note: these reprs contain a few bits of the secret key!)
* fix a few bugs where we used to equate "mutable" with "not read-only". Nowadays all directories are mutable, but some might be read-only (to you).
* fix a few bugs where code wasn't aware of the new general-purpose metadata dict the comes with each filesystem edge
* sundry fixes to unit tests to adjust to the new directories, e.g. don't assume that every share on disk belongs to a chk file.

implement preliminary log publisher/gatherer
...
This creates a Referenceable object that will eventually be able to publish
log events to a remote subscriber (at present all it can do is provide
version information). The FURL for this logport is written to 'logport.furl'.
In addition, if a file named 'log_gatherer.furl' is present, the given target
will be contacted and offered access to the logport. This can be used by a
centralized logging agent to subscribe to logs, e.g. from all the nodes in a
centrally-maintained storage grid. (think syslog -r, but with all the
security properties of FURLs, and permitting non-printable strings and
structured data).
Once this framework matures a bit, it will be moved into Foolscap.

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.
