#855 new enhancement
Make tahoe webopen without arguments show the tahoe: alias, if there is one

Description
This would avoid the ambient authority problem that led to the old start.html page being removed. For consistency, tahoe browse would accept any cap, but it would be most useful for aliases. Possibly tahoe browse without another argument would show a page listing all aliases.

The current behaviour of tahoe webopen without an argument is to raise "TypeError?: object of type 'NoneType?' has no len()".
It seems that using tahoe: as the default, when a tahoe: alias exists, would be consistent with other CLI commands, and a lot simpler to implement than showing all aliases.
The help text is currently "Open a web browser to a grid file or directory." which is fine.

Oh, there already is a tahoe webopen command. Wonder how I missed that. It appears to require a cap/alias argument, though, even though the tahoe --help text is "Open a webbrowser to the root_dir" which would suggest otherwise.
