#2147: web.port can conflict

---------------------+---------------------------
 I created 2 separate tahoe nodes on my laptop, and got some very
 surprising behavior. It turned out that tahoe create-node puts in a
 default web.port, and if 2 nodes have the same port, any tahoe command
 will assume that, since it connects to the configured port, it's talking
 with the right node.

 This impacts at least the git-annex tahoe special remote, which sets up a
 tahoe node for the user. Users sometimes have more than 1 git-annex
 repository, and so will try to set up separate tahoe special remotes
 (which might connect back to the same grid, or not).

 It would be great if web.port could be set to something like
 tcp:any:interface=127.0.0.1, and then tahoe start could just pick any free
 port.
