Comment (by warner):

 Daira had a great idea: we could help old tahoe versions produce a better
 error message by writing out .tac files that throw an error if they're
 imported.

 Newer Tahoes don't use the contents of the .tac file at all: they just
 look at the file name to decide what type of node it is, then instantiate
 the appropriate class (client, introducer, stats-gatherer, etc). Older
 Tahoes use `twistd -y tac`, which imports the .tac file.

 So we can `raise RuntimeError` in the new .tac files, and then older
 tahoes will print the exception when they attempt to run twistd on it.
