59d6c3c822 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.

d777283e9e 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.

89d2e1ac57 webapi.txt: some editing, and remove the localfile feature and the manifest feature
My motivation to remove these features is as per:

http://allmydata.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2007-August/000067.html

However, I haven't heard back from Brian yet, so I'm actually going to put them back in the next patch so that I can compare the two versions of webapi.txt side by side.
