As discussed in #233 -- "creation and management of root directories" -- make it easier or more automatable to create and manage root directories.

Possible improvements include extending the tahoe mkdir command so that it can create directories without linking them into an existing directory, and maybe a tahoe mount or tahoe link or tahoe ln command to make a certain directory (or file) be a child of a given extant directory, and possibly make it so that tahoe mount can be used to register the root directory for the CLI, or possibly make another CLI command to do that.

Also maybe put back automatic presentation of this root directory or this set of mounted directories in the wui, i.e. like the start.html page that we just removed.

tahoe mkdir --help says it can create unlinked directories, and tahoe ln exists. Also unlinked directories can be created from the WUI. Is there anything else that still needs fixing here?
