Zooko O'Whielacronx b315619d6b download: refactor handling of URI Extension Block and crypttext hash tree, simplify things
Refactor into a class the logic of asking each server in turn until one of them gives an answer 
that validates.  It is called ValidatedThingObtainer.

Refactor the downloading and verification of the URI Extension Block into a class named 
ValidatedExtendedURIProxy.

The new logic of validating UEBs is minimalist: it doesn't require the UEB to contain any 
unncessary information, but of course it still accepts such information for backwards 
compatibility (so that this new download code is able to download files uploaded with old, and 
for that matter with current, upload code).

The new logic of validating UEBs follows the practice of doing all validation up front.  This 
practice advises one to isolate the validation of incoming data into one place, so that all of 
the rest of the code can assume only valid data.

If any redundant information is present in the UEB+URI, the new code cross-checks and asserts 
that it is all fully consistent.  This closes some issues where the uploader could have 
uploaded inconsistent redundant data, which would probably have caused the old downloader to 
simply reject that download after getting a Python exception, but perhaps could have caused 
greater harm to the old downloader.

I removed the notion of selecting an erasure codec from codec.py based on the string that was 
passed in the UEB.  Currently "crs" is the only such string that works, so 
"_assert(codec_name == 'crs')" is simpler and more explicit.  This is also in keeping with the 
"validate up front" strategy -- now if someone sets a different string than "crs" in their UEB, 
the downloader will reject the download in the "validate this UEB" function instead of in a 
separate "select the codec instance" function.

I removed the code to check plaintext hashes and plaintext Merkle Trees.  Uploaders do not 
produce this information any more (since it potentially exposes confidential information about 
the file), and the unit tests for it were disabled.  The downloader before this patch would 
check that plaintext hash or plaintext merkle tree if they were present, but not complain if 
they were absent.  The new downloader in this patch complains if they are present and doesn't 
check them.  (We might in the future re-introduce such hashes over the plaintext, but encrypt 
the hashes which are stored in the UEB to preserve confidentiality.  This would be a double-
check on the correctness of our own source code -- the current Merkle Tree over the ciphertext 
is already sufficient to guarantee the integrity of the download unless there is a bug in our 
Merkle Tree or AES implementation.) 

This patch increases the lines-of-code count by 8 (from 17,770 to 17,778), and reduces the 
uncovered-by-tests lines-of-code count by 24 (from 1408 to 1384).  Those numbers would be more 
meaningful if we omitted src/allmydata/util/ from the test-coverage statistics.

"""
Read and write chunks from files.
Version 1.0.0.
A file is divided into blocks, each of which has size L{BLOCK_SIZE}
(except for the last block, which may be smaller). Blocks are encoded
into chunks. One publishes the hash of the entire file. Clients
who want to download the file first obtain the hash, then the clients
can receive chunks in any order. Cryptographic hashing is used to
verify each received chunk before writing to disk. Thus it is
impossible to download corrupt data if one has the correct file hash.
One obtains the hash of a complete file via
L{CompleteChunkFile.file_hash}. One can read chunks from a complete
file by the sequence operations of C{len()} and subscripting on a
L{CompleteChunkFile} object. One can open an empty or partially
downloaded file with L{PartialChunkFile}, and read and write chunks
to this file. A chunk will fail to write if its contents and index
are not consistent with the overall file hash passed to
L{PartialChunkFile} when the partial chunk file was first created.
The chunks have an overhead of less than 4% for files of size
less than C{10**20} bytes.
Benchmarks:
- On a 3 GHz Pentium 3, it took 3.4 minutes to first make a
L{CompleteChunkFile} object for a 4 GB file. Up to 10 MB of
memory was used as the constructor ran. A metafile filename
was passed to the constructor, and so the hash information was
written to the metafile. The object used a negligible amount
of memory after the constructor was finished.
- Creation of L{CompleteChunkFile} objects in future runs of the
program took negligible time, since the hash information was
already stored in the metafile.
@var BLOCK_SIZE: Size of a block. See L{BlockFile}.
@var MAX_CHUNK_SIZE: Upper bound on the size of a chunk.
