25063688b4 immutable repairer
This implements an immutable repairer by marrying a CiphertextDownloader to a CHKUploader.  It extends the IDownloadTarget interface so that the downloader can provide some metadata that the uploader requires.
The processing is incremental -- it uploads the first segments before it finishes downloading the whole file.  This is necessary so that you can repair large files without running out of RAM or using a temporary file on the repairer.
It requires only a verifycap, not a readcap.  That is: it doesn't need or use the decryption key, only the integrity check codes.
There are several tests marked TODO and several instances of XXX in the source code.  I intend to open tickets to document further improvements to functionality and testing, but the current version is probably good enough for Tahoe-1.3.0.

6a12f316a4 immutable: new checker and verifier
New checker and verifier use the new download class.  They are robust against various sorts of failures or corruption.  They return detailed results explaining what they learned about your immutable files.  Some grotesque sorts of corruption are not properly handled yet, and those ones are marked as TODO or commented-out in the unit tests.
There is also a repairer module in this patch with the beginnings of a repairer in it.  That repairer is mostly just the interface to the outside world -- the core operation of actually reconstructing the missing data blocks and uploading them is not in there yet.
This patch also refactors the unit tests in test_immutable so that the handling of each kind of corruption is reported as passing or failing separately, can be separately TODO'ified, etc.  The unit tests are also improved in various ways to require more of the code under test or to stop requiring unreasonable things of it.  :-)
