All server-like nodes (storage servers and introducers both) will need
this for the tor state directory and .onion private key file, and it
needs to exist before the config is written, so tor onion-service
private keys can be placed there.
Also remove a redundant import.
This puts the right inlineCallbacks in place to allow
write_node_config() to return a Deferred. The upcoming Tor support will
need this (since it must wait for an .onion address to be allocated
before it can write tahoe.cfg's tub.port and tub.location lines).

This allows tests to pass under an odd environment: our OS-X buildslave.
That process is started as a LaunchDaemon that doesn't provide any
Environment dictionary in the .plist file, so it runs with an empty
environment. On OS-X, this causes filesystem.encoding to default to
"utf-8", but locale.getpreferredencoding() returns "US-ASCII". The tests
previously assumed that any platform which used unicode for the
filesystem pathnames would also use it for sys.argv .
To simulate this without involving launchd, use "unset LANG", and
double-check that locale.getpreferredencoding() has changed.
This fix tolerates such platforms.
which uses SHA1 to combine the file's storage index (known as "peer
selection index" in this context) and each server's "server permutation
seed". This is the only thing in tahoe that uses SHA1.
With this change, we stop importing sha1 from anywhere else.
On windows, it seems that the generated tahoe.exe (which comes
via entry_points=) doesn't deal with signals nicely. I'm not
sure if this is a pip bug (or just "one of those Windows things")
but running with python -m allows us to kill our subprocesses.
I think the preferred way to listen on both IPv4 and IPv6 will be to use
"--port=tcp:PORT,tcp6:PORT". This is now reflected in the docs.

This enables an I2P-only node, which disables TCP entirely (instead of
mapping TCP to Tor, which was the only other option that
reveal-IP-address=False would allow).

running.rst: split out the server/introducer text, so someone who only
care about running a client doesn't need to read about hostnames or
--port/--location.
servers.rst: more background text on ports and locations, make section
names less storage-centric
* replace sample IPv4/IPv6 addresses with reserved ones from RFC-6890
* remove initial blank line: prevents github from rendering the .rst
* emphasize --hostname, then have --port/--location as a special-case
* list --port first (describe it "from the inside out"), then --location
* explain difference between --port and --location
* in endpoint strings, put interface= at end, to emphasize port
* add servers.rst to index.rst so it'll show up on readthedocs
* don't mention "partial-cone NAT": that's only relevant if/when we get
real ICE-style NAT-hole-punching
This includes configuring servers to use IPv4, IPv6, IPv6 with
port forwarding firewall and suggesting the use of i2p/tor if
NAT penetration is needed: provided links to configuration and
