Comment:

 T_X discovered the following regression: Introducer nodes create a file
 named {{{introducer.furl}}} in their base directory. On the second and
 subsequent runs after the {{{introducer.furl}}} file has already been
 created, the introducer will fail to start, because it will see that file
 and think that it is an old config file.

 Our tests failed to detect this for two reasons:
  * we don't have any tests that start an introducer twice;
  * the "no noise" check when starting an introducer in
 {{{test_runner.RunNode.test_introducer}}} was switched off, presumably
 because it was causing too many false positives.
