[setup: run require_auto_deps() before attempting to import any deps in __init__.py

 For one thing, this makes missing-dependency failures into DistributionNotFound errors instead of ImportErrors, which might be more useful to the user. For another thing, if someone is using distributions that were installed with --multi-version, then they might be not importable until after require_auto_deps() has been run. (The docs claim that this would be the case, but we don't have an example of this happening at this time.)

[fix #1223, crash+inefficiency during repair due to read overrun

 * repairer (really the uploader) reads beyond end of input file (Uploadable)
 * new-downloader does not tolerate overreads
 * uploader does lots of tiny reads (inefficient)
 
 This fixes the last two. The uploader still does a single overread at the end
 of the input file, but now that's ok so we can leave it in place. The
 uploader now expects the Uploadable to behave like a normal disk
 file (reading beyond EOF will return less data than was asked for), and now
 the new-downloadable behaves that way.

['tahoe start': use import+call rather than find+spawn
"Brian Warner <warner@lothar.com>"**20101027061342
 
 This removes the need to use a locally-built (dependency) bin/twistd, and
 removes a big chunk of behavior differences between unix and windows. It
 also happens to resolve the "client node probably started" uncertainty.
 Might help with #1190, #602, and #71.

 fixes #530. I earlier tried this twice (see #530 for history) and then twice rolled it back due to some problems that arose. However, I didn't write down what the problems were in enough detail on the ticket that I can tell today whether those problems are still issues, so here goes the third attempt. (I did write down on the ticket that it would not create site.py or .pth files in the target directory with --multi-version mode, but I didn't explain why *that* was a problem.)
