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.
refs ticket:867
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
anonymity-configuration
This adds several arguments to "tahoe create-node" and
create-introducer:
* --location=/--port=: always provided as a pair, directly set the
listening port and the advertised location
* --hostname=: provides the node's hostname so it doesn't have to crawl
the network interfaces for IP addresses, when listening on TCP
* --listen=: can only be "tcp" for now, but will soon be the way to
enable automatic listener setup for Tor and I2P services
This is a rebased and cleaned-up version of #336, which fixes a bunch of
tests, and simplifies the argument validation slightly.

parse_cli() got added during the async-CLI-dispatch work
assertRaises/assertFailure have been in Twisted for a while, but I only
learned about them recently. Over time I'm looking forward to changing
all tahoe tests to use them (and getting rid of ShouldFailMixin/etc).
In addition, CLI functions are allowed to use sys.exit() instead of
always needing to return the exit code as an integer.
runner.py now knows about the blocking httplib calls in scripts/cli and
scripts/magic_folder, and uses deferToThread() to invoke them. Those
functions cannot return a Deferred: when rewrite them to use twisted.web
or treq, we'll remove this deferToThread call.
Option parsing was split out to a separate function for testing. We now
use twisted.internet.task.react() to start the reactor, which required
changing the way runner.py is tested.

The main part of CLITestMixin.do_cli() was split into a standalone
function named run_cli(), leaving do_cli() as a method which includes a
nodedir in the arguments (for use by GridTestMixin tests which do a lot
of CLI operations against one of their client nodes, for which adding
the extra --nodedir argument would be ugly).
