 Implement basic connection handlers (tor/i2p)

 The node now attempts to create Tor/I2P connection handlers (if the
 right libraries are available), and will use them for tor/i2p FURL hints
 by default. For now it only creates default handlers: there is not yet
 any code to interpret the `[tor]`/`[i2p]` sections of tahoe.cfg which
 would let you override that process.

 The node also parses the `[connections]` section, allowing `tcp: tor` to
 use Tor for all outbound TCP connections. It defaults to `tcp: tcp`, of
 course.

 Static storage-server connections will now honor the `connections:`
 overrides in `servers.yaml`, allowing specific servers to use TCP where
 they would normally be restricted to Tor.
