Dirnodes can be created without "tahoe" metadata

Description (last modified by davidsarah)

It seems that it is possible for a dirnode to be created without the "tahoe" metadata key, if the metadata is given explicitly in a mkdir-immutable JSON body. An example is the "only-child-from-the-future" entry in ​this immutable directory, which has the metadata shown ​here.

(These URLs are on the old testgrid, and probably not accessible any more.)

I'll investigate this further after the 1.6 release.

The incomplete sentence in the description was supposed to be:

(Note: this is a link to a version of the gateway server running a pre-1.6 snapshot.)

Replying to davidsarah:

Sorry, the latter changeset is not relevant.

The problem was that, in the case where new metadata is specified, a dict was being created and populated for the 'tahoe' subkey, but then being thrown away rather than included in the main metadata dict.
