The lost-progress bug occurred when two simultanous read() calls fetched
different segments, and the first one failed (due to corruption, or the other
bugs in #1154): the second read() would never complete. While in this state,
cancelling the second read by having its consumer call stopProducing) would
trigger the cancel-intolerance bug. Finally, in downloader.node.Cancel,
prevent late cancels by adding an 'active' flag
The Range header causes n.read() to be called with an offset= of type 'long',
which eventually got used in a Spans/DataSpans object's __len__ method.
Apparently python doesn't permit __len__() to return longs, only ints.
Rewrote Spans/DataSpans to use s.len() instead of len(s) aka s.__len__() .
Added a test in test_download. Note that test_web didn't catch this because
it uses mock FileNodes for speed: it's probably time to rewrite that.
There is still an unresolved error-recovery problem in #1154, so I'm not
closing the ticket quite yet.
* remove Downloader.download_to_data/download_to_filename/download_to_filehandle
* remove download.Data/FileName/FileHandle targets
* remove filenode.download/download_to_data/download_to_filename methods
* leave Downloader.download (the whole Downloader will go away eventually)
* add util.consumer.MemoryConsumer/download_to_data, for convenience
(this is mostly used by unit tests, but it gets used by enough non-test
code to warrant putting it in allmydata.util)
* update tests
* removes about 180 lines of code. Yay negative code days!
Overall plan is to rewrite immutable/download.py and leave filenode.read() as
the sole read-side API.
