So "tahoe create-node --hide-ip" causes "reveal-IP-address = false" to
get written into tahoe.cfg . This also changes the default tahoe.cfg to
include "reveal-IP-address = true", for clarity.

We now use::
tub.port = disabled
tub.location = disabled
instead of using an empty value (but the key still being present, since
if the key is missing entirely, that means "be automatic").

Meejah pointed out that new users might think the encoding parameters
are fixed, something you must pick correctly when you first set up the
node, and then are never allowed to change again, which is kind of
anxiety-inducing. This updates the comment to explain that the encoding
is stored in each filecap, and the tahoe.cfg values are only used for
newly-uploaded files.
Also:
* do some light refactoring of create-client/node
* make it clear that these commands' --basedir options do the same as
the global --node-directory option
* use "global-options" instead of "global-opts"
The new rules for "bin/tahoe ARG1.. SUBCOMMAND ARG2.." arg:
* --node-directory is only accepted in ARG1, not ARG2
* create-*/start/stop/restart accept --basedir in ARG2, or an explicit
basedir argument
* only one of --node-directory/--basedir/explicit-basedir is accepted
* --quiet/--version is only accepted in ARG1, not ARG2
Closes#166
I rerecorded this patch, originally by David-Sarah, to use "darcs replace" instead of editing to do the renames. This uncovered one missed rename in Client.init_drop_uploader. (Which also means that code isn't exercised by the current unit tests.)

I personally used "tahoe start/restart -m ../MY-TESTNET/node*" all the time,
to spin up or update a local testgrid while iterating over new code. However,
with the recent switch from "subprocess.Popen(/bin/twistd)" to "import and
call twistd.run()" in scripts/startstop_node.py (yay fewer processes!),
"start -m" broke, and fixing it requires os.fork, which is unavailable on
windows (boo windows!). And I was probably the only one using -m. So in the
interests of uniformity among platforms and simpler code (yay negative code
days!), we're just removing -m from everything. I will start using a little
shell script or something to simulate the removed functionality.
This patch also cleans up CLI-function calling a bit: get the basedir from
the config dict (instead of sometimes from a separate argument), and always
return a numeric exit code.
* rename my_private_dir.cap to root_dir.cap
* move it into the private subdir
* change the cmdline argument "--root-uri=[private]" to "--dir-uri=[root]"
