New description:
In #853 a user on Windows had changed their PATH so that there was no
{{{route.exe}}}. This causes Tahoe-LAFS 1.5.0-r1408 to emit an unhelpful
error message and call {{{os.abort()}}}. I've written a unit test to
simulate this condition, but now I'm not sure what Tahoe-LAFS ''ought'' to
do in this case:
1. Emit a help error message like "Hey you have no IP address" and then
{{{os.abort()}}}
2. Go ahead and start up. You don't necessarily need an IP address to
operate as a Tahoe-LAFS client or server!
