798bf57e28 Add 'tahoe invite' and 'tahoe create-node --join' commands
This opens a wormhole and sends appropriate JSON down
it to a tahoe-gui using a wormhole server running on
tahoe-lafs.org

The other end uses the 'tahoe create-node' command (with
new --join option) to read the configuration JSON from
a 'tahoe invite' command

91047bf828 docs: clean up .rst and references
This uses Read-The-Docs (sphinx/docutils) references exclusively, but adds a
README.md for GitHub viewers to remind them that the links there won't
work (closes ticket:2835).

It also fixes all the dangling references and other Sphinx warnings.

The "Preparation" section of docs/magic-folder-howto.rst was removed, since
this feature has since been merged to trunk.

460cc826fd update docs
* 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

327bef3383 update tor/i2p docs to match current config syntax
This removes the section that describes automatic configuration using
transport-agnostic endpoint-centric tub.port strings. That was the
approach where tub.port used "onion:80:hiddenServiceDir=PATH", and
Foolscap was able to query the generated Listener to find out what
address it was supposed to advertise. We considered this for a long
time, but in the end decided to use a more static approach, where
foolscap/tahoe never try to guess it's location: Tahoe always requires
tub.location= to be set.

When we get automatic configuration implemented, it'll be a simple CLI
argument, something like "tahoe create-server --listen=tor".

Instead, this document now explains how to configure Tor to create the
hidden service, then how to copy the generated .onion address into the
tahoe config.

This also removes a lot of other text that seems irrelevant now, and
refers the user to the tahoe.cfg docs (configuration.rst) instead of
including all the `[tor]`/`[i2p]` docs inline.

Closes ticket:2815

The badge image URL remains the same, but the docs themselves are now
hosted on tahoe-lafs.readthedocs.io rather than
tahoe-lafs.readthedocs.org .

12e54e52f4 README: point to tahoe-lafs.readthedocs.org
Also add a comment to docs/index.rst, pointing folks who are browsing
the source tree (locally, with an editor) at the formatted version on
readthedocs.org .
