 See ticket:1893 and the discussion there.  See ticket:3241 for an earlier
 related step that affected mutables.

 As a further step towards separating write operations from lease renewal
 operations, we should make it *possible* for
 `StorageServer.remote_allocate_buckets` to not do the extra lease renewal
 behavior.

 Since the server should be free to remove shares that have *no* active
 lease, `StorageServer.remote_allocate_buckets` should still add a lease
 for shares that are actually uploaded as a result of the call - just not
 for any shares that existed already.
