Message:

initial tahoe.cfg: explain encoding params better

Meejah pointed out that new users might think the encoding parameters
are fixed, something you must pick correctly when you first set up the
node, and then are never allowed to change again, which is kind of
anxiety-inducing. This updates the comment to explain that the encoding
is stored in each filecap, and the tahoe.cfg values are only used for
newly-uploaded files.
